Mt. Kurokamiyama

黒髪山

Arita, Saga / Takeo, Saga · Elevation 516 m

Mt. Kurokami (516 m) straddles the border of Arita Town and Takeo City in Saga Prefecture, joining Mt. Seira and Mt. Maki to form the Kurokami Massif. The mountain is famed for the legend in which Minamoto no Tametomo slew a great serpent here, and for the bizarre rock formations gathered around its Tendō-iwa pinnacle just below the summit; the Arita-side slopes also yield the quartz trachyte used as the raw material of Arita porcelain. A maintained route with chain-assisted scrambles climbs from the Ryūmon Dam parking area, and the peak appears in the New Nihon Hyakumeizan, Kyūshū Hyakumeizan and Nihon Hyakuteizan lists.
