History

Throughout history, the mountain was a place of great strategic importance due to its location. Many wars were fought on its sides, including the Battle of Yamazaki between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide.[1] Due to its strategic location the Japanese phrase "Decisive as Tennōzan" (天下分け目の天王山) was born.
