Mount Nagata (永田岳, Nagata-dake) is a mountain on the island of Yakushima in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. At an altitude of 1,886 m (6,188 ft), it is the second highest peak of Yakushima and the Kyushu region after Mount Miyanoura.[1]

Inō Tadataka's map of Yakushima refers to Mt. Nagata as Mt. Gongen (権現岳, gongen-dake) [2]

Locals have traditionally made biannual pilgrimages to the summit of Mt. Nagata in the fall and spring.[3] In 1722 a hokora (a type of miniature Shinto shrine) was constructed on the mountain's summit.[3]
