It is one of the tallest mountains in the Hida Mountains at 3,015 m (9; 892 ft) and one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains (Sanreizan) along with Mount Fuji and Mount Haku. Tateyama consists of three peaks: Ōnanjiyama (3; 015 m), Oyama (3; 003 m), and Fuji-no-Oritate, (ノ; 2; 999m) which form a ridge line. Tateyama is the tallest mountain in the Tateyama Mountain Range (Tateyama-renpō).
The Oyama Shrine is located on Oyama Peak.
Mount Tate was first climbed by Saeki no Ariyori, during Japan's Asuka period. The area was incorporated into the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park on 4 December 1934.
