These names seem to refer to the same place, the same mount.

The three different English names correspond to the same Japanese word 姫次.

These names are generated using the Google maps, and the Google translations, and Wikimedia, as well as the direct observations of the boards at sides of the trail. There is no way to determine one of the 3 spellings as "correct" and other two as a "mistake".
In order to avoid infinite loops for robots (which try to "correct" the spelling of the word according to some "more respected" publication), the grammar correction for these words is suppressed.
