Yatsugatake - Akatengu Aotengu 八ヶ岳 - 赤天狗 - 青天狗
Red Tengu Peak and Green Tengu Peak


- quote -
The Yatsugatake Mountains (八ヶ岳連峰 Yatsugatake-renpō) "Mountain with eight peaks" are a volcanic mountain range on the border between Nagano Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture .



The mountain range consists of two volcanic groups, Northern Yatsugatake Volcanic Group and Southern Yatsugatake Volcanic Group.
..... According to legend, Yatsugatake was once higher than Mount Fuji, but Konohanasakuya-hime, the goddess of Mount Fuji, tore it down out of jealousy, leaving the collection of peaks we have today.




Mount Tengu 天狗岳 Tengu-dake - Tengudake
is a 2,646m mountain on the border of Chino and Koumi of Nagano in Japan. This mountain is the highest mountains of Northern Yatsugatake Volcanic Group. Named for the mythical avian creatures of folklore, the Tengu.
This mountain has two major peaks, Mount Higashi Tengu (Eastern Tengu), and Mount Nishi Tengu (Western Tengu).

Aka-Tengu 赤天狗 Red Tengu.

The Tengudake peak in the West is covered with green haimatsu ハイマツ dwarf pine (Pinus pumila)and is thus called

At the bottom of Tengudake is a hot spring:
奥蓼科温泉郷渋の湯 Okutateshina - Shibunoyu, Shibu no Yu. This was one of the secret hot springs of warlord
