Mount Kurikoma, Active stratovolcano in Tohoku region, Japan.
Mount Kurikoma rises 1,628 meters across three prefectures of Miyagi, Iwate, and Akita, forming a natural boundary between these administrative regions.
The volcano initiated its formation 500,000 years ago through andesitic and dacitic eruptions, with recorded volcanic activities dating back to 915 AD.
The mountain holds a position in Japan's One Hundred Famous Mountains of Flowers list, displaying 150 alpine flower species during June.
Nine established hiking trails of different difficulty levels start from various points around the mountain base, connecting to the Kurikoma Rest House.
The mountain features a 4-kilometer-wide caldera with a northern breach occupied by the Tsurugi-dake cone, shaping its current geological structure.
