Our trip, by the way, was a spur of the moment road trip down to Dewa Sanzan, a trio of peaks in Yamagata that have been the center of mountain worshippers (Yamabushi) in Japan for centuries.
Yamabushi is a fairly old religion in Japan, and focuses on an ascetic lifestyle, full of fasting, strenuous exercises, and long treks through the holy peaks that dot the island chain.
It has existed in one form or another for the last twelve centuries, and beyond the one or two annual festivals, it is a location visited only by occasional travelers and ardent hikers.

 Holy Mountains & Sacred Shrines in Japanese Buddhism & Shintoism
These three sacred mountains, called Dewa Sanzan -- Haguro (419 meters), Gassan (1980 meters), and Yudono (1504 meters) -- were probably venerated in pre-historic times, but trace their historical sanctity to an imperial prince of the early 7th century.
Three mountain areas in particular, Yoshino-Omine, Kumano Sanzan, and Koyasan, came to be revered as sacred places associated with certain religious groups.
Respectively, these were the Shugen sect of ascetic Buddhism, another sect practicing Shinto-Buddhist Syncreticism (the belief that Japan's traditional gods are incarnations of Buddhist deities), and the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism, each with their own distinct identity, yet interacting.

 Wiccanway's Book Of Shadows
Each season, a priest is expected to pick a distant Holy Peak to travel to and ascend to the sanctuary others before him have built and maintain or add to it (built on places common to powerful natural disturbances such as lightning and storms, hurricanes and strong winds).
Known mountains include, Ominesan (Kimpusenji), Katsuagisan (Nara Prefecture), Kumano (Kumano Sanzan shrines), Dasen (Dewa Sanzan), and Ushiroyama (Okayama Prefecture).
Because Mikkyo was formed from a compilation of various esoteric and exoteric spiritual belief systems throughout the history of feudal Japan, it evolved and changed significantly over time until it was finally integrated into esoteric Buddhism (the majority of information that you'll find today will support the Buddhist integrated Mikkyo perspective).
