Climbing Mt. Daisen: a summer trail report

Mt. Daisen rises above western Tottori as the highest peak in the Chūgoku region. Its broad silhouette is visible from Hōki Town, and this is a record of a summer climb through mist, steep stairs, and a sea of clouds.

A relaxed walk at Daisen Makiba Milk Village

Daisen Makiba Milk Village sits on a highland about 650 meters above sea level. It is an easy place to slow down, watch the cattle, enjoy the open landscape, and try its popular soft-serve ice cream.
