Forest of Takaosan Mount Takao Japan
Considered a sacred mountain, Takaosan has been a center of mountain worship for more than 1000 years. Yakuoin, an attractive temple, stands along the trail near the mountain`s summit, and many visitors stop there to pray to Shinto-Buddhist mountain gods tengu for good fortune. Statues of the gods, one with a long nose and one with a crow beak, can be found at the temple and also other spots around the mountain.
