- quote -
Mount Norikura (乗鞍岳 Norikura-dake) is a potentially active volcano located on the borders of Gifu and Nagano prefectures in Japan. It is part of the Hida Mountains and is listed among the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains.
The mountain is located on the borders of Gifu and Nagano prefectures in Chūbu-Sangaku National Park.The Norikura Plateau borders the mountain on its northern side in Nagano Prefecture. The mountain, whose name means "riding saddle," received its name because its shape looks like a horse saddle. It is known for being the easiest to climb among the mountains in Japan that are above 3000-meters.
Mount Norikura-dake has a gentle slope and the huge plateau at the foot is dotted with dynamic waterfalls and seven crater lakes and ponds (ike 池).

In 1683 Enku climbed Mount Norikura-Dake 乗鞍岳
from the Gifu side of Hirayu 岐阜県側の平湯
Near the top at the small crater lake Oonyuu ike 大丹生池 (Onyugaike 大丹生ヶ池) Onyu-Ike
he appeased a Yokai monster and banned it to the peak of 魔王岳 Mao-Dake (Mount Demon).
He carved 1000 Buddha statues and one of 山彦（山の神） Yamabiko, the Deity of the Mountain, placed them into the bottom of the pond and thus appeased the Mountain Deities and Monsters.
The names 魔王岳 Mao-Dake and 摩利支天岳 Marishiten-Dake were given to the mountain peaks by Enku.

Takayama, 吉城郡 Yoshiki
The master of the pond Oonyuu ike 大丹生池 (おおにゆゅういけ) Onyu-Ike was in fact a huge serpent 大蛇 and some people had indeed seen it. When some of its family members moved out, there was always flooding of the river 高原川 Takaharagawa and people were quite afraid to talk about it.
When Enku passed here he carved a Buddha Statue and offered it to the river to appease the serpent deity.
乗鞍岳の山頂部の大丹生池に魔神が棲むと恐れられていた伝説を払拭するために、千体仏を彫り池に沈めて祈祷してその迷信を封じたと伝えられている。
