Mount Kuro, Mountain summit in Fujikawaguchiko, Japan
Mount Kuro rises to 1,793 meters above sea level in Yamanashi Prefecture, featuring steep slopes and multiple hiking paths through dense forest terrain.
The mountain evolved within the geological formation of the Misaka Mountains, contributing to the natural barriers that protected settlements in feudal Japan.
Local residents maintain traditional mountain worship practices at designated points along Mount Kuro's trails, marking seasonal changes with specific ceremonies.
Hikers access Mount Kuro through marked trails from Fujikawaguchiko, with the main ascent route requiring approximately four hours to reach the summit.
