Take Yama is a mountain in Yokosuka with a height of about 200 meters, offering views of the surrounding landscape and sea from its summit. The mountain is accessible via several well-marked hiking trails that start from different locations.

The mountain has served as a geographical reference point in the region since Yokosuka was established as a major naval port in the late 1800s. Its position made it an early landmark for sailors and residents alike.
