Now Viewing: youkai_mountainTag type: General 妖怪の山 Youkai no Yama Youkai Mountain (妖怪の山 Youkai no Yama) is a location in Gensoukyou, within the Touhou video games and related media. It is Gensoukyou's largest mountain and volcano. As its name implies, it is inhabited almost exclusively by youkai, primarily kappa and tengu, and where humans are generally not welcome. Initially described in Perfect_Memento_in_Strict Sense, it later became a key location in Mountain_of_Faith. The Youkai Mountain is a rocky landform covered by a large expanse of forest named The Great Youkai Forest at its foot, with waterfalls and rivers flowing from the lakes at the mountain top. It is known to have been a highly active volcano in the past, but it has been a long time since it last erupted. Smoke is still seen rising from the mountain from time to time. Commonly, when someone says "The mountain" (山 yama), it usually refers to the Youkai Mountain. It has served as the home of youkai since long before the time of man and is a high threat to humans. Consisting of close-knit societies of kappa and tengu, the mountain is closed off from outsiders, and its inhabitants lead peaceful communal lives. Outsiders that attempt to climb the mountain, youkai or human, are chased out relentlessly by the tengu patrols. Because no outsiders are allowed, and because the kappa and tengu keep their secrets so close, many things about the mountain remain a mystery to other dwellers of Gensoukyou. Additionally, the ruins on the western side of the mountain are inaccessible to both humans and youkai. There are rumors stating that there exists a large hollow cavity within the mountain, where a futuristic utopia just like the Outside World is being built, but the tengu's newspapers may not be telling the truth.
