Tako, Town in Katori district, Japan

Tako extends over 72 square kilometers of flat terrain in northeastern Chiba prefecture, approximately 35 kilometers from the prefectural capital.

The territory came under Fujiwara clan control during the Heian period before transitioning to Chiba clan rule in the Kamakura period.

Archaeological discoveries in Tako include artifacts from the Jomon period, rice paddies from the Yayoi period, and tumuli from the Kofun period.

The town maintains three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, serving the educational needs of local residents.

Tako borders Narita International Airport to the west, with twenty percent of its workforce commuting to Narita for employment.
