Yamato Sanzan
Yamato Sanzan (大和三山?) or "the three mountains of Yamato", in Kashihara, Nara Prefecture, Japan, are Mount Kagu (香具山?), Mount Unebi (畝傍山?), and Mount Miminashi (耳成山?). Celebrated in Japanese poetry, they have been jointly designated a Place of Scenic Beauty.[1][2] Jimmu, first Emperor of Japan, is said to have built his palace on the southeast side of Mt Unebi; he is enshrined at Kashihara Jingū.[3] Archaeological study in the 1990s has shown that, rather than their surrounding Fujiwara-kyō on three sides, the "palace-city" was so large as to encompass the three mountains.[4]
