Mount Kunimi, Mountain summit in Yatsushiro and Shiiba, Japan.
Mount Kunimi reaches an elevation of 1,739 meters and stands at the border between Kumamoto and Miyazaki prefectures in the Daiko Mountains range.
The mountain's name derives from the ancient Japanese practice of 'kunimi', where rulers would climb peaks to survey their territories and compose poems.
The mountain connects the communities of Yatsushiro and Shiiba, serving as a natural boundary between their distinct local traditions and ways of life.
Hikers can access multiple trails leading to the summit throughout the year, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable weather conditions.
The mountain's position between two prefectures creates different microclimates on each side, resulting in varied vegetation patterns and wildlife habitats.
