The south-east side of Kurumayama is grassy which allows easy paragliding. The north-west side is covered with forest.

The car access to the bottom of Kurumayama does not require the four-wheel drive, but at heavy snow, snow chains may help a lot.

Closest mounts: mount Kirigamine at south, mount Royal Hill at north-west;

The same name (Kurumayama) is used for the complex of ski-lifts at south-west from Kurumayama, although actually, those ski-lifts operate mainly at the north slope of the neighbor Mount Kirigamine.
