Horohoro, New Zealand

Horohoro is a rural farming community 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) southwest of Rotorua, New Zealand.

Horohoro is a flat-topped mountain with perpendicular cliffs and is a prominent landmark in the Rotorua area associated geologically with the Horohoro Fault and Kapenga Caldera.

The Ngāti Kea Ngāti Tuarā ancestral story tells of an incident in which Kahumatamomoe, a Te Arawa chief, washed his hands in a stream at the northern end of the Horohoro mountain.

Following this story, the full name of the mountain is Te Horohoroinga-o-ngā-ringa-o-Kahumatamomoe (Washing of Kahumatamomoe's hands).
