Mount Kura

倉岳

Amakusa, Kumamoto · Elevation 682 m

Mount Kura is a 682 m peak in Kuratake-machi, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and the highest summit of the Amakusa Islands. Worshipped since ancient times as a guardian mountain for fishermen, it carries Kuratake Shrine on its top where prayers are offered for safety at sea. Three paved roads from Tanasoko, Motokōchi and Kawachi climb almost to the summit, which commands a full 360-degree panorama from the Shiranui Sea and Goshora islands to the Ariake Sea and distant Unzen. The peak is listed in the Kyushu Hyakumeizan, Nihon no Yama 1000 and Kumamoto Hyakumeizan.
