Mount Akagi
黒檜山
Numata, Gunma / Kiryū, Gunma / Maebashi, Gunma · Elevation 1,828 m
Mount Akagi is a complex volcano north of Maebashi whose highest summit, Kurobisan, reaches 1828 m. Its peaks include Komagatake, Jizodake, Arayama, Nabewariyama, Suzugatake and Choshichiroyama, alongside lakes Onuma and Konuma. An outer rim and lava domes within the caldera create varied volcanic terrain. The mountain has long been a focus of Akagi worship. Routes range from easy to intermediate, including walks around Kakumanbuchi and Konuma, a Jizodake ascent, and the Kurobisan–Komagatake traverse to the highest summit. Akagi Shrine and Akagi Park Visitor Center stand within the summit caldera.
