Mount Kurobegorō, Alpine mountain in Hida Mountains, Japan
Mount Kurobegorō rises 2,897 meters above sea level, straddling the borders of Gifu and Toyama Prefectures within the Japanese Alps mountain range.
The mountain received its designation as part of Chūbu-Sangaku National Park in December 1934, marking a milestone in Japanese natural preservation efforts.
The name Kurobegorō stems from the Japanese term 'gōro,' referring to the sound of rolling stones, reflecting the geological characteristics of the area.
The ascent requires three to four days of hiking, with multiple mountain huts providing necessary accommodation along various established climbing routes.
The eastern slope features a large cirque formation where alpine plants thrive, including Siberian Dwarf Pine and numerous species adapted to high altitudes.
