Mount Kamuiekuuchikaushi (カムイエクウチカウシ山, Kamuiekuuchikaushi-yama) is located in the Hidaka Mountains, Hokkaidō, Japan. It's one of the 200 Famous Japanese Mountains. The name is derived from Ainu languages which means "the mountain which bears/gods tumble down." Climbers generally abbreviate it as Kamueku. It's the second highest peak only to the Mount Poroshiri in the Hidaka mountains, and its altitude is 1,979 m (6,493 ft) above sea level. The mountain is situated in the Hidaka-sanmyaku Erimo Quasi-National Park, and Triangulation station has been set up in the peak by Masaki Terunobu (正木照信) in 1900. A peak a little south east to the mountain is Pyramid peak (ピラミッド峰) which is 1,853 m (6,079 ft) above sea level shaped like a square pyramid, so that the Mount Kamuiekuuchikaushi can be the best viewing platform for the peak.
