Mount Takao

Mount Takao in Midori Ward is located in the Nagatsuta Tsuji area at the westernmost tip of Midori Ward and is the highest mountain in the ward. (elevation: 100.46m)
At the summit, "Izuna Shrine" is enshrined, and a festival is held in early April every year by local children from the Nagatsuta Tsuji and Okabe Tando areas.
In 1882, the first triangular point, which was the starting point of map making in Japan, was placed. The view of Oyama, Tanzawa, Fuji, Hakone and Chichibu is also wonderful.
In addition, the western slope has become a valuable archeological site as a buried cultural property burial site in the late Jomon period, which is said to be extremely small in the city area.
