Mt. Takasu

高祖山

Itoshima, Fukuoka · Elevation 416 m

Mt. Takasu is a 416 m peak on the boundary between the Takasu district of Itoshima City and Nishi Ward of Fukuoka City, marking the northeastern edge of the Itoshima Plain. The summit preserves the ruins of medieval Takasu Castle, built by the Harada clan in the Kamakura period, while the western slopes hold the National Historic Site of Ito Castle — an ancient Chinese-style fortress that Kibi no Makibi spent twelve years constructing from 756. The summit can be reached in about 50 minutes from Takasu Shrine at the foot. The peak is included in the Fukuoka Super-Low Mountains, the Fukuoka Prefecture Mountain Guide, and the Itoshima Yamaaruki list.
