So unless you have some friends in China who could visit a local bookstore for you, or there is a White Rabbit Express like service for Chinese products, then you're probably out of luck :(

大辞林 has it. It's available in the iTunes Store as well.

The Pocket Kenkyusha Japanese Dictionary, published by Oxford University Press, is a Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionary that marks pitch accent. Pitch accent is only marked for main entries (i.e. not for verb/adjective conjugations), and it only has 45000 words, but it should be sufficient at the intermediate level.
