Mount Takabuto
高舞登山
A cherry blossom spot and lookout near the Five Amakusa Bridges, with views over Amakusa Matsushima, Maejima and the Matsushima bridges, and the Jirōmaru peak to the west.
Mount Takabuto rises 117 metres in Matsushima-chō, Kamiamakusa City. Around a thousand cherry trees bloom in the summit park in spring, making it Amakusa's most famous cherry blossom spot. The observation deck has wide views over Amakusa Matsushima, the Fourth and Fifth Bridges, and the mountains of Kamiamakusa. The mountain road is narrow, but you can drive up to the summit car park, which is free. It is very close to Mount Sengan, so if time is short, choose one or the other.
