Mount Takao

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