Mount Kuro (黒岳 Kuro-dake?) is a lava dome located in the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group of the Ishikari Mountains, Hokkaidō, Japan.

Climbing route

The easiest way up the mountain is to use the Daisetsuzan Sōunkyō Kurodake Ropeway up from Sōunkyō. This takes you approximately 600 metres (2,000 ft) up the mountain. You can then use a chairlift to carry you up past the 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) mark. From there it is a hike with switchbacks the rest of the way to the top. You can also hike the entire route parallel to the ropeway and chairlift from Sōunkyō Onsen. A popular route continues past Mount Kuro, around the Ohachi-Daira caldera, over Mount Asahi and down the Asahidake Ropeway to Asahidake Onsen.
