Mount Shaka (釈迦岳, Shaka-dake), located in Hita, Ōita Prefecture and Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, is the highest mountain in Fukuoka Prefecture,[1][2] with a summit elevation of 1,230 m (4,035 ft 5 in). Although Fugen-dake is the highest peak of the mountain with a summit elevation of 1,231 m (4,038 ft 9 in), Honshaka, a peak located at the border of the two prefectures, is what is commonly referred to as Mount Shaka.[2]
Overview
[edit | edit source]The mountain summit has a large flat top and the Emperor Keikō Monument. The south side of the summit is a vertical cliff that goes down all the way to the valley.[1] From the summit, it is possible to see Mount Kujū, Mount Hane, Mount Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture, and as far as Ariake Sea on the west side of Kyushu.[3]
The Fugen-dake peak of the mountain, in Ōita Prefecture, is connected with a road and has a radome.[2]
Mountain climbing
[edit | edit source]The Shaka-dake Gozen-dake Jūsō Course is a 7.4 km (4.6 mi) climbing course that takes about 4 hours and 40 minutes to finish.[1]
