Daisen Hiruzen Parkway Course
Course Outline
The Daisen Parkway passes through Daisen-Oki National Park starting from the Hiruzen area and continuing through the Daisen area, Yonago, and Sakaiminato, and eventually ends in the town of Mihonoseki. This course lets you behold the beauty of Mt. Daisen from different angles and enjoy the grassy meadows of the Hiruzen area. If you go all the way to Mihonoseki, you will have the chance to drive along the sparkling sea. With the vibrant green landscape in early summer and the kaleidoscopic foliage of the mountains in fall, you can take delight in the colors of the seasons as you visit the park’s best scenic spots. Have a great drive!
Highlights
The mountains beyond Hiruzen Highland
On early autumn mornings in Hiruzen, the Hiruzen Three Peaks appear to float on a sea of clouds, a breathtaking and poetic highlight of the season. Wake up a little earlier to catch a chance to see this magnificent view.
The fall leaves as seen from Kagikake-toge Pass
From Kagikake-toge Pass, located at an elevation of 800 meters, you can see the impressive south face of Mt. Daisen which towers above Daisen's symbolic beech forest like a gigantic wall. With the contrast of the mountain’s barren, rocky peaks and the vibrant foliage that spreads out below, this is arguably Mt. Daisen’s best view point.
A forest tunnel of beech trees
From Sannosawa to Ninosawa on the way from Kagikake-toge Pass to Masumizu Highland, you can get a close look at Mt. Daisen’s beech forest.
