Too difficult? Nobody searching?

I've been searching all day. Finally found the signpost.



And a different angle.



It's Mount Hijiri - in the Akaishi Mountains in the Chūbu region of Japan. It is 3,013 m (9,885 ft) tall and part of the Minami Alps National Park. According to Wiki - on the list of "100 Famous Japanese Mountains."

The signpost is on Mount Hijiri, that's right. The mountain I'm asking for can be seen from there. It's higher than Mount Hijiri.
