Mt. Tennozan (Battle of Yamazaki)

天王山(山崎の合戦)

West (Rakusai)|大山崎(市外)

The hill at the town's back was the stage of the Battle of Yamazaki in 1582, where Hashiba Hideyoshi broke Akechi Mitsuhide only days after the Honno-ji Incident. From the struggle for this height, "Tennozan" passed into the language as the word for the decisive moment of any contest.
