A man went to the forest with his father to do some work. After a while they took a break. Suddenly a white ball of fire came floating past, with a white tail at the end. Then they heard the sound of a terrible mountain slide, as if someone had felled a huge tree. They hurried home in great fear.
His father told him that they had been on special land where the Shiba Tengu lived and he does not like to be disturbed.

The sennin 仙人 Immortal from 金が岳 Mount Kanagatake (1,764 m) named 新左衛門 Shinzaemon
and the Tengu from 茅ヶ岳 Mount Kayagatake (1,703 m) named 江草孫右衛門 Magoemon from Egusa were on bad terms.
The Immortal jumped into the sky, made a strong wind and called the clouds. He could also take any human shape he liked. He was almost a Yokai monster Immortal.
The Immortal sometimes shape-shifted into a ball of fire to show the Tengu that he was still a novice in the field.

茅ヶ岳の天狗伝説 The Tengu legend from Mount Kayagatake.

Magoemon is a human who trained to become a Tengu, others say he is the Immortal from Mount Kayagatake.
Once he climbed the mountain to do some work, and when he came back to his home, three family generations had passed and nobody remembered him.
He was so sad, he went back to the mountain and practised 神通力 to gain divine powers.
He lived around 1520 during the times of Takeda Nobutora, the father of Takeda Shingen, in the village of Egusa.
He sometimes appeared when farmers were working in the forest and helped them cut trees. He even ate the food they shared with him.
When they gave him a leaf of tobacco, he put it on his palm and then ate it.
Time passed on in the village of Egusa. Now it is around 1715.
The woodworkers saw a huge human like a monster stand on the rocks. The beard was upside down and covered his face with white hair. His huge eyes rolled around. The villagers fled in great fear. Then there was a strong wind and black clouds showed in the sky . . . all because the villagers had disturbed Magoemon in his mountain retreat.

- quote -
Mt. Kayagatake is well known for being the place where Kyuya Fukada, writer and mountaineer who published the One hundred top mountains of Japan, passed away.
It is also part of the one hundred top mountains of Yamanashi.
Due to its similar appearance to the nearby Mt. Yatsugatake, it is sometimes known as “Nise Yatsu” (Phony Yatsu). From the summit, the Southern Alps, Mt. Yatsugatake, Mt. Fuji and more can be seen. There are also many places to view the cherry trees and the red leaves during their respective seasons.
During spring season you will find the cherry blossom tunnel known as “Senbonzakura Park” near the trailhead to the mountain, along with a viewing platform from where you can enjoy the sight of mountains such as Mt. Fuji. Then, in autumn you can also come appreciate the beauty of the red leaves. Furthermore, you will also find the Sunflower field of Akeno near the trailhead leading to the mountain path, a spot where about 600,000 sunflowers bloom fully during summer season! Please don’t miss out the opportunity to come see and enjoy the mountain climbing and magnificent nature of Kayagatake!
