Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 To review: I think this might be a relatively easy one. Though I've been wrong before: Decided to try a DiGriz-style google earth 3-D terrain-mapped shot. Actually there is an Apple Maps version. It probably gives too much away (sorry Metabo) but here it is: In case pie-eater's hint wasn't enough, here is a view of the mountain from the opposite side. (But don't look down, it might be scary.) Big, fat, glow-in-the-dark clue: The view from on-hill: Another angle from on-hill: And yet another: Here is a view towards the back side of the mountain: Ski area is on far side of the peak with a tower on it, the peak seen in the notch between two nearer peaks here. Some more views from the far side: A fearsome place. Hint: ひらがな Hint: it is not very near any expressway. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Mutsu-shi Kamafuseyama in Aomori MagSeven gets it! Mutsu-shi Kamafuseyama Ski Area, the northernmost ski area on Honshu, which faces Mutsu Bay. It is in Aomori prefecture which is, of course, famous for its lighted Nebuta festival floats. On the other side of the mountain behind it is Osorezan (Fear Mountain), traditionally considered an entrance to the Underworld, where one can still consult mediums (Itako) who communicate with the dead. It is located in Mutsu-shi (むつ市), which was the first city in Japan to adopt an all-hiragana name. Good job, and take it away, MagSeven! Link to post Share on other sites
