Takasecho, Rural district in Mitoyo, Japan

Takasecho extends across diverse terrain with hills and riverbanks in Mitoyo City, encompassing residential zones and agricultural fields throughout its territory.

The region contains archaeological remains from the late Heian period, including two kiln sites that produced decorative roof tiles with lotus and vine patterns.

The district preserves a rare wooden statue of Amoghapasa Avalokitesvara from the 10th century, crafted from a single cypress tree at human scale.

The education administration office in Takasecho, located in Shimokatsuma district, serves residents through telephone contact at 0875-73-3135 and fax at 0875-73-3140.

The local Buddhist statue features an unusual design with eight arms and one face, representing a distinct interpretation of religious iconography in Japanese art.
