Mount Fukuchi

Mount Fukuchi rises to approximately 900 meters and is covered by dense forests that create several hiking routes throughout its slopes. The terrain extends across different municipalities, forming a diverse landscape with varying vegetation zones.

The mountain has served as a geographical reference point for the Chikuho region since the Edo Period under Kokura Domain authority. Its location as a boundary between different administrative areas shaped its historical role as a territorial marker.

The mountain holds importance for local communities as a place where people connect with nature. Visitors and residents alike use it as a destination to experience the landscape and maintain a relationship with the surrounding environment.

The trails are well-maintained and include rest areas and information points to help visitors navigate. Parking facilities at the base make it straightforward to access the starting points of the hiking routes.

The mountain serves as a natural boundary between the municipalities of Nogata and Fukuchi, enhancing its role as a geographic anchor point. This border function has created a sense of shared space that draws visitors from both administrative areas.
