comment What kind of a thing is a “やつ”?
地方富士 = the same as 郷土富士? (e.g. local peaks that have names with the ~富士 suffix, for example 羊蹄山 being also called 蝦夷富士).

comment Why did the author use hiragana instead of kanji in the following examples? (長い,幼い)
Note on the Tanaka Corpus. These are probably more likely to be errors in the original input than a deliberate choice.

comment Beginner: book/ website for reading comprehension and vocabulary
If you hop over to the meta board, there is a list of resources. Some of the online courses linked there have (optional) kana-only versions, I believe, and some of the other resources listed may also be of use to you (e.g. browser add-ons that add furigana).

comment The stylistic use of romaji for the particle “de”
Thanks! That makes sense - I see the same happening in English where French terms are often used in restaurants (like putting creme anglaise on the menu when really you just mean custard).
