Mount Naka Katsuragi (中葛城山, Naka Katsuragi-san) is a mountain in the Kongō Range to the south of Mount Kongō, rising to an elevation of 937.7 metres (3,076 ft). The mountain is situated between Chihayaakasaka, Osaka and Gojō, Nara in Japan. It is known for its trails being generally easy for most hikers, and for its stands of Japanese cedar and large fields of bamboo grass.
Despite being just off the popular Diamond Trail, most hikers bypass the mountain as they go between Mount Kongō to the north and Mount Jinpuku to the southwest. The summit is accessible via multiple routes from all sides of the mountain, and most hikes take about 90 minutes.
