I posted some of these pictures on the "Guess Where This Is" thread and got some requests for a trip report so here it is.
My friend and I took a trip to climb Mt. Tateshina in Nagano prefecture a couple of years back. We started the trip by climbing Mt. Kurumayama which you can drive almost to the top of (hence the name 車山?) . We made it in time to watch the sunset from the peak. For how easy it is to get to, the views are amazing.
This is a picture of the shrine at the peak and Mt. Tateshina as well as a few other mountains in the Yatsugatake range.
