Mount Kurakake

鞍掛山

Komatsu, Ishikawa · Elevation 478 m

Mount Kurakake is a 477.7-metre twin-summit peak straddling Komatsu City and Kaga City in Ishikawa Prefecture, whose silhouette resembling a packsaddle gives it its name; it was also called Funamiyama as a landmark for Kitamaebune cargo ships. Its summit panorama of sacred Mount Haku, the Kaga plain, and the Sea of Japan was admired by Fukada Kyūya during his writing of the Japan 100 Mountains. Maintained by the local volunteer group Takigahara-machi Kurakakeyama wo Ai-suru Kai, the mountain receives over 10,000 climbers a year and is included in the Hokuriku 100 Mountains list.
