Mountain Pass Sign with Mt. Yari in View, Toyama

English

September in the Chubu highlands — caught this weathered wooden sign marking the route, with Mt. Yari standing proud across the valley. The alpine air was crisp, the view endless. These little markers are like breadcrumbs through the wilderness, and moments like this remind me why I keep coming back to the mountains.

９月の中部の山岳地帯で見つけた古い木の道標。槍ヶ岳を望む稜線で、秋の気配がもう感じられた。こういう風化した標識を見ると、何十年も登山者を導き続けてるんだなって思う。山の魔力にまた一つ引き込まれた！
