Mitake, Shūnan, Yamaguchi, Mountain settlement in Shūnan, Japan
Mitake stands as a small village with 10 households and a temple, positioned in the eastern mountains of Yamaguchi Prefecture at coordinates 34°11′29″N 131°55′14″E.
Scientific studies conducted in 1967 documented substantial geological findings in Mitake, particularly the presence of axinite-schist within the Sangun metamorphic zone.
The village maintains a community center where residents gather for local activities, representing traditional rural Japanese social structures in remote areas.
Due to its mountainous location, cellular phone reception remains limited in Mitake, requiring visitors to plan alternative communication methods during their stay.
The village population consisted of precisely 16 residents as recorded in July 2013, making it one of the smallest documented communities in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
