explanation: Mt. Yatsu is a group of volcanos situated between the east of Nagano Prefecture and the north of Yamanashi Prefecture and streching over 20km from the east to the west. Its highest peak is Mt. Akadake of 2899m high. According to a legend, once upon a time, Mt. Yatsu (male) and Mt. Fuji (female) would have disputed over their height. Realized that she is lower than Mt. Yatsu, Mt. Fuji would have given a foot kick to his head. It is why his summit has been split to several peaks.
