Mt. Kunimi

国見岳

Shiiba, Miyazaki / Yatsushiro, Kumamoto · Elevation 1,739 m

Mt. Kunimi (1,739 m) sits on the border of Yatsushiro City in Kumamoto and Shiiba Village in Miyazaki, the highest summit in Kumamoto Prefecture and one of the principal peaks of the Kyūshū Mountains. Standing near the centre of the Kyūshū spine range, it is cloaked in old-growth forest of beech, fir, and hemlock, with one of Kyūshū's largest stands of rhododendron and habitat for Japanese serow and salamander. Marked by a first-order triangulation point, it is counted among Japan's 300 Famous Mountains, the 100 First-Order Triangulation Mountains, and the Highest Peaks of Each Prefecture, though it is famously remote—reaching the trailhead is often said to be harder than the climb.
