Mount Tate (立山, Tate-yama, IPA: [tateꜜjama]), also known as Tateyama, is a mountain located in the southeastern area of Toyama Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the tallest mountains in the Hida Mountains at 3,015 m (9,892 ft) and one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains (三霊山, Sanreizan) along with Mount Fuji and Mount Haku.[2] Tateyama consists of three peaks: Ōnanjiyama (大汝山, 3,015 m), Oyama (雄山, 3,003 m), and Fuji-no-Oritate, (富士ノ折立, 2,999m)[3] which form a ridge line. Tateyama is the tallest mountain in the Tateyama Mountain Range (立山連峰, Tateyama-renpō).

The Oyama Shrine is located on Oyama Peak.[4]

Mount Tate was first climbed by Saeki no Ariyori, during Japan's Asuka period. The area was incorporated into the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park on 4 December 1934.[5][6]
