Mount Senyu

Mount Senyu [千菌山; せんゆーさん] is a mountain located in the central region of Shinkō Prefecture. The mountain, whose name translates to 'mountain of a thousand dreams', is a place of great cultural significance, having been a destination for travelling monks and pilgrims over many hundreds of years. 
Although originally believed to be a volcano, Mount Senyu has not erupted for nearly one thousand years. Its most significant and powerful eruption, occuring around 3,000 years ago, resulted in the creation of Lake Hagiyami. A crater was also left in the top of the mountain, relatively small, which has been the site of many religious rituals over the centuries. The famous Senyu Temple stands on Mount Senyu's eastern plateau.
