A Japan Photo per Day

Mount Takao Tengu

Jul 29, 2010 | 32 feedbacks »

For a long time I wanted to make a trip to Mount Takao - Takaosan 「高尾山」 and yesterday I managed to do it. Takaosan is considered a sacred mountain, and it was a center of worship for over a thousand years.
The main attraction for a visitor interested in Japanese culture and traditions is the Yakuōin Yūkiji Temple, where the famous Tengu are worshiped. The statues represents the Tengu in two forms, one with the long nose and one with a crow beak.

@Tornadoes28 Me too, I first look at the face expression, and I prefer the ones with a serene figure.

@Muzachan Tengu is inaginary animal. Some say it is a flying squirrel - musasabi & others say it is a foreigner. Or both of them are wrong
