Japan Tourism / Enjoy Autumnal Paradise at Foot of Mt. Daisen

Travel there by car to get the most out of the autumn mountain foliage. Take the Hiruzen-Daisen Skyline from the Hiruzen Interchange exit on the Yonago Expressway. The sightseeing road connecting the Hiruzen Highlands in Okayama Prefecture and Mt. Daisen is famous for its winding bends and beautiful autumn foliage.

The Kimendai Observatory rest area, located on the prefectural border, offers spectacular 360-degree panoramic scenery with a view of Mt. Daisen in the north and the foot of Mt. Hiruzen to the south. Clusters of silver grass can be found there in autumn.

The main building of the four-story Kyukamura Oku-Daisen hotel is surrounded by virgin forests of beech and mizunara oak. It has 50 guest rooms, most of them Japanese style.
