Mount Maya (摩耶山, Maya-san) is a 698.6-metre-high (2,292 ft) mountain in Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.

[clarification needed] Mount Maya has a link from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Tenjo-ji temple was said to be established in 646 by High Monk Hodo, at the Emperor Kotoku's behest.

In the 8th century, another High Monk Kobo brought back a statue of Maya, the mother of Buddha, from ancient India, and dedicated it to this temple.

The present day statue of Maya (mother of Buddha) was sculpted in Jaipur in India and was donated by an Indian resident of Kobe as part of the temple's restorative efforts in 1976.
