山姫（やまひめ）または山女（やまおんな）は、日本に伝わる妖怪。その名の通り、山奥に住む女の姿をした妖怪である。
各伝承により性質に差異はあるものの、多くは長い髪を持つ色白の美女とされる。服装は半裸の腰に草の葉の蓑を纏っているともいうが、樹皮を編んだ服を着ている、十二単を着た姿との説もある.
The wikipedia features some legends about the Yamahime.

- quote -
Yamauba (山姥 or 山うば), Yamamba or Yamanba are variations on the name of a yōkai found in Japanese folklore.
- - - Description
Depending on the text and translator, the Yamauba appears as a monstrous crone, "her unkempt hair long and golden white ... her kimono filthy and tattered," with cannibalistic tendencies. In one tale a mother traveling to her village is forced to give birth in a mountain hut assisted by a seemingly kind old woman, only to discover, when it is too late, that the stranger is actually Yamauba, with plans to eat the helpless Kintarō. [5] In another story the yōkai raises the orphan hero Kintarō, who goes on to become the famous warrior Sakata no Kintoki.
Yamauba
is said to have a mouth at the top of her head, hidden under her hair. In one story it is related that her only weakness is a certain flower containing her soul.
Yamauba, Hair Undone, by Hokusai
- - - Noh Drama
In one Noh drama, translated as, Yama-uba, Dame of the Mountain, Komparu Zenchiku states the following:
Yamauba is the fairy of the mountains, which have been under her care since the world began. She decks them with snow in winter, with blossoms in spring ... She has grown very old. Wild white hair hangs down her shoulders; her face is very thin. There was a courtesan of the Capital who made a dance representing the wanderings of Yamauba. It had such success that people called this courtesan Yamauba though her real name was Hyakuma.
The play takes place one evening as Hyakuma is traveling to visit the Zenko Temple in Shinano, when she accepts the hospitality of a woman who turns out to be none other than the real Yamauba, herself.

鹿児島県肝属郡牛根村（現・垂水市）では山奥に押し入ってきた男を襲い、生き血を啜るという[2]。信州（長野県）の九頭龍山の本性を確かめるために山中に入った男が、山姫に遭って毒気を浴びせられ、命を落としたという逸話もある。
屋久島では山姫をニイヨメジョとも呼び、伝承が数多く残る。十二単姿で緋の袴を穿いているとも、縦縞の着物を着ているとも、半裸でシダの葉で作った腰蓑を纏っているともいうが、いずれも踵に届くほど長い髪の若い女であることは共通している。山姫に笑いかけられ、思わず笑って返せば血を吸われて殺されるという。山姫をにらみつけるか、草鞋の鼻緒を切って唾を吐きかけたものを投げつけるか、サカキの枝を振れば難を逃れられる。しかし、山姫が笑う前に笑えば身を守れるとの伝承もある[6]。
かつて屋久島吉田集落の者が、山に麦の初穂を供えるため、旧暦8月のある日に18人で連れ立って御岳に登った。途中で日が暮れたため、山小屋に泊まった。翌朝の早朝、飯炊きが皆より早く起きて朝食の準備をしていたところ、妙な女が現れ、眠る一同の上にまたがって何かしている。結局、物陰に隠れていた飯炊き以外の全員が血を吸われて死んでいたという。

山ヲンナ / ヤマオンナ / 山オンナ Yama-Onna
One evening a man was washing his body using a tub, when a Yama-Onna passed by. She placed the tub including the man on her head and carried them to the mountain. The man grabbed some branches and escaped. Then he followed her shadow and saw her disappearing in a cave.
The mother of the young man remarked: "If she finds out that there is no one in the tub, the Yama-Onna will certainly get quite confused. She will shape-shift into a spider and come to get you tonight!"
That night a huge spider came hanging down from the ceiling, but when the man tried to hit her, she fled in haste.

yukinba 雪婆 Yukinba, the Snow Hag
yukionna, yuki onna 雪女 (ゆきおんな) "snow woman"
- quote -
Yukinba is essentially a Yamanba variation on Yuki-onna from Ehime. Yukinba likes to come out on winter nights when snow is falling. Children are not allowed outside on such nights because Yukinba may abduct them (to eat is implied). She is presumably one-legged as she leaves a track of solo footprints.
According to the Edo era scroll Bakemono Emaki (Monster Scroll ばけもの絵巻), a man was walking in a wheat field during a snowstorm around the 2nd month (lunisolar calendar). He heard a woman's voice calling his name. When he looked up, he saw a one-legged old woman with messy hair hurtling towards him through the snow. He hurriedly ran away and after running for some time, the snowstorm lifted and the old woman disappeared.
In Yamagata, they say that when the Shirotsuko insect flies in late autumn, it means Yukinba is in the nearby mountains.
