Karakunidake (韓国岳) or Mount Karakuni (1,700m) is a volcano in Kagoshima and Miyazaki Prefectures, Japan.

[1][3] Karakunidake was named as such from two accounts before the Edo period: the first of which referred to the mountain's barren surface, and the second which claimed that climbers can see the distant Korean Peninsula across the sea.

[4] Some maps erroneously spell its name as "唐国岳" (Karakunidake), with the kanji "唐" in place of "韓".
