Mount Tate (Tateyama)
Mount Tate (Tateyama) is a 3,015 m granite-and-gneiss massif in the Hida Mountains (Northern Japan Alps) of Toyama Prefecture, formed by three linked summits — Onanjiyama, Oyama, and Fuji-no-Oritate. Revered for over a millennium as one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains alongside Mount Fuji and Mount Haku, its middle summit, Oyama, hosts the Oyama Shrine, long a goal of Shugendo mountain-ascetic pilgrimage. The mountain overlooks the Murodo Plateau (2,450 m), home to Japan's only officially recognized glaciers, and anchors Chubu-Sangaku National Park, designated in 1934. Tateyama is exceptionally accessible for a 3,000 m peak: the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, a chain of cable cars, a trolleybus, and a ropeway, carries visitors up to Murodo without any climbing at all, from where the true summit is reached by a moderate half-day hike.
