Mount Kurakake

鞍掛山

Iwakuni, Yamaguchi · Elevation 240 m

Mount Kurakake is a 240-metre hill in the Kuka district of Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, rising at the northern edge of the Kunishi Basin. In the Sengoku period it was crowned by the Kurakake Castle of Sugi Takayasu, a senior retainer of the Ōuchi clan; the castle fell during Mōri Motonari's Bōchō campaign of 1551. A 317-metre paved path from the western forest plaza reaches the summit observation platform in about ten to fifteen minutes, offering a sweeping view of the basin. The Kurakake Castle Festival is held here each November, and the mountain is included in the Bōchō Hyakuzan list.
