Jizo-ga-take: "This is one of the three peaks of Mount Hoo, in the Southern Alps of Japan. This is the lowest peak (2,764m), but it stands a bit apart from the other two, making it look much more impressive. The photo was taken from the base of the middle peak (2,840m), which I did cross traversing the main ridge of the mountain. It was July, so excellent weather, but even in July some snow remains at that height, some can be seen on the photo."
