Mount Takago

Japanese: 高宕山 - たかごやま
Mount Takago

This mountain is located in the southwest of Chiba Prefecture, on the border between Kimitsu City and Futtsu City on the Boso Hills. At 315 meters above sea level, it is the watershed of the Koito River and the Minato River, and the area is covered by a large prefectural forest, making it one of the largest forested areas in the prefecture. Japanese macaques live nearby and are designated as a national natural monument. After successful feeding of the macaques, Takatoyama Natural Zoo was opened and the area is included in the Takatoyama Prefectural Natural Park area. On the east side of the mountain, the "Seiwa Prefectural Forest" was opened and is used for fishing and camping.
