Miminashiyama (Yamato Sanzan)
The three mountains of Kaguyama, Unebiyama, and Miminashiyama are celebrated in the Man’yoshu, Japan’s oldest anthology of poetry. They are also jointly designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty by the Japanese government. Miminashiyama is an extinct volcano with the most beautiful, symmetrical shape of the three Yamato Sanzan mountains. The three Yamato mountains were mentioned in a poem supposedly alluding to a love triangle involving Lady Nukata, Prince Nakano-oe, and Prince Oama.
