Mount Tennōzan, Mountain peak in Oyamazaki, Japan
Mount Tennōzan rises 270 meters above the narrow plain between Kyoto and Osaka, providing views across both metropolitan regions from its summit.
The Battle of Yamazaki in 1582 took place at Mount Tennōzan, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Akechi Mitsuhide to avenge Oda Nobunaga's death.
The mountain holds a shrine dedicated to Gozutennō and has inspired the Japanese expression 'Decisive as Tennōzan' due to its military significance.
The hiking trail to the summit begins at JR Yamazaki Station, passes through Hoshaku-ji Temple, and takes approximately forty minutes to complete.
Ceramic panels at the Aokibadani lookout point display illustrations of the Battle of Yamazaki using traditional Japanese artistic techniques.
