最上郡 Mogami district 金山町 Kaneyama town

It was around 1235. During a great rainstorm, earth came down flowing from 神室山 Mount Kamuo san.
It rained for seven days and seven nights and the flow became a mountain.
On the earth, a white horse was seen by the villagers. So they named the new mountain 龍馬山 Ryubasan.

Ryoma was born in 杉沢集落 the hamlet Sugisawa.
Since it was a small place, he climbed 不動山 Mount Fudosan.
He slept beside the stone Torii of the Shrine.
Since Ryoma spent some time there, the mountain was re-named 龍馬山 (りゅうばさん) Ryubasan.

On 龍馬山 Mound Ryubasan lived a white ryooma 龍馬 Dragon Horse.
Its head was like a dragon, the body like a horse.
It showed up only once in 60 years.
Some of its footprints were in the stones on the way.
The lord of 新庄 Shinjo was suspicious and said this could not be.
He went up the mountain and when the Dragon Horse appeared, he shot it.
Since then, it never showed up again.

. - KAPPA 河童 / かっぱ / カッパ - Legends - .
In a nearby river, 不動様 the Dragon Horse from Mount Fudosan would come to wash its body.
A Kappa was trying to grab its tail.
Instad, the Deity from Fudosan would catch the Kappa.
He said he would let the Kappa go, if he promised not to catch children any more.
After that, people never saw a Kappa in the river.
