Mount Kita, Mountain summit in Minami-Alps National Park, Japan

Mount Kita is a mountain summit in Minami-Alps National Park formed from sedimentary rock layers and rising to 3,193 meters. Its eastern face displays a continuous rock wall that extends more than 600 meters vertically.

The summit's official height was revised to 3,193 m by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan on 15 October 2004. The previous figure of 3,192 m came from the third-order triangulation point on the summit, measured at 3,192.18 m; a rock surface about 80 cm higher was found to the south of it. The 2004 figure remains the official height.

The name Kita-dake means "north peak": the three summits of the Shirane range were recorded in the Edo-period Kai Province gazetteer as running north to south, and the northernmost and highest was called Shirayama, later Kita-dake. The three are still grouped as the Shirane Sanzan. The endemic flower Kitadakesō was first introduced to the public in 1934.

The climb from Hirogawara trailhead takes around 6 to 8 hours and follows narrow paths with some steep sections. The descent typically requires 3 to 5 hours and demands attention on loose ground.

The slopes support Callianthemum hondoense, a plant species that grows nowhere else in the world. Hikers encounter this rare flower along the Kusasuberi trails in the surrounding area as well.
