Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful shrine surrounded by forest and nature. Honouring the Mountain God.

It's a short hike from the parking lot to Ogamiyama Shrine 大神山神社. There was a sign near the first torii gate saying it was a 15-minute walk, but I think it would take about 20 to 30 minutes. You need to be prepared. The stone steps, with sunlight filtering through the trees and covered in moss, had a mystical and beautiful atmosphere. Panting, I managed to make it to the inner shrine 奥宮 and eceive a goshuin 御朱印. The climb was so difficult that receiving the goshuin was all the more moving.

Peaceful and tranquil shrine, and not crowded during weekdays. Great place to be alone with your thoughts. Recommended for beginners, just be sure to wear good footwear as the cobbled path is made of rocks and gravel. From this shrine you may begin your ascend to Mt Daisen, or another midway point that is 20 minutes up (800m trek).

Daisenji Temple is an ancient hillside temple complex dating back to the 8th century, offering stunning views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The area around the temple has been preserved as a national park, boasting a rich variety of vegetation and wildlife. Visitors can also enjoy outdoor activities such as kayaking at Akamatsu Lake, just a short drive away from the temple. The serene atmosphere of the temple makes it an ideal place for beginners to explore and take in the peaceful surroundings.
This is the stairway entrance to 大山寺。entrance fee was 300yen per person. There’s a path on the left side of the stairways that leads to another shrine . We didn’t take it as the weather was too cold. Else it would be a lovely 15mins stroll in the woods. This is probably free.

Quiet and peaceful temple, sitting on a hilltop. There is quite a climb up to the temple. From the temple, you can also climb up the stairs further to another shrine, or to begin your ascend to Mt Daisen. Recommended for beginners as it is not difficult. Be sure to make the descend before sunset as it can get dark without many lampposts.

We went during autumn and it was beautiful! Locals here are very friendly, were absolutely delighted to see our 6 yr old daughter hiking with us. Although we didn't do the summit, the walking trails offer a fantastic view of Daisen and the National Park. Daisen is indeed a chubby version of Mt Fuji. We saw some interesting bugs and moss too.

(Translated by Google) Part 12 of our historical exploration! This time, we're heading to Shimane and Tottori! We start with the first day at the Mugibanda Ruins, a vast Yayoi period site where only one-tenth of the entire site has been excavated, and I believe there's still much to discover. The weather was beautiful, so I excitedly parked my car and went to the information center, where a very friendly staff member explained the order in which to tour the area. The site is so vast, and the weather was so beautiful that I was drenched in sweat as I toured each site and entered all of the restored pit dwellings. My current obsession is the Jomon and Yayoi periods, so I cooled off in the dwellings while imagining what life was like back then (lol). The view was also beautiful, and there were benches set up at scenic spots, so I sat down and enjoyed the view. There were also plenty of insects, such as grasshoppers, giant dragonflies, and Japanese black swallowtails, making it feel like I'd traveled back in time. When I took a break at an information center when I was halfway through the trip, I asked for recommendations for nearby places, and they introduced me to Aoya Kamijichi Historical Park, which opened in March last year and was not on my list of places I had looked up in advance. I decided to save the remaining half for another time and headed to Tottori on short notice (lol). I had a great time talking about hobbies with the staff, and had a great time from the first day of the trip. I will definitely stop by to see the remaining half of the trip, so I hope to hear more fun stories from you when I do. And that brings me to the 13th installment! Continue to Aoya Kamijichi Historical Park (Original) 歴史探訪第12弾!今回は島根・鳥取へ!まずは1日目「妻木晩田遺跡」(むぎばんだ)弥生時代の広大な遺跡で全体の10分の1が発掘されており、まだまだこれから発見が見込まれる遺跡だと思います。とても天気がよくてわくわくしながら駐車場に車をとめ、案内施設に行くと、とても親切なスタッフの方が周る順番を説明をしてくれます。とても広大な遺跡でこの日はとても天気が良くて汗だくになりながら、各遺跡をめぐり、復元された竪穴住居にすべて入りました。私のマイブームが縄文・弥生時代なので、住居の中でその当時の生活を思い浮かべながら涼んでいました(笑)。景色もとても良くて絶景ポイントにベンチが用意されていましたので、ゆっくりと腰をおろして眺めていました。バッタ・オニヤンマ・クロアゲハなどの昆虫もたくさんいて、タイムスリップ感を味わえます。半分の折り返しの際に案内施設で休憩の際に、近隣のオススメをお聞きしたところ、事前調べでの私のリストにない昨年3月にオープンした「青谷かみじち史跡公園」を紹介して頂き、残りの半分はまたの機会にして急遽、鳥取へ(笑)スタッフの方と趣味の話しで盛り上がり、旅行初日からとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。残りの半分の見学に必ず寄らせて頂きますので、その際はまた楽しいお話をよろしくお願いします。ということで第13弾!「青谷かみじち史跡公園」へ続く

(Translated by Google) I've been here about ten times now, and it really is a wonderful Yayoi period ruin. There are reconstructed dwellings and square-cornered tumuli. There is also a square stone-paved tomb, which can be said to be the prototype of the square-cornered tumuli. Excavated items are also on display, and all tours are free. The curators also give very friendly and easy-to-understand explanations. The location is also great, making this a historic park that's worth visiting again and again.

Nestled along the scenic Mt. Daisen Natsuyama trail, Daisenji Amidado is a historical gem that beckons travelers with its rich heritage. This temple, recognized as the oldest structure among Daisenji's buildings, dates back to the early Heian period but was relocated and rebuilt in 1552 after being devastated by a landslide in 1529.
Very cool temple and definitely worth seeing. We came here to find a geocache and we're very surprised to see such a cool temple. Walk up was hard since steps were covered in snow, but we were able to manage.

John K — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is located just off the Daisen Natsuyama trail. It is the oldest building among the existing temples in Daisenji, and was destroyed by a mountain tsunami in 1529, and was rebuilt at its current location in 1552, at the end of the Muromachi period. It was originally built as a hall of worship, but when the practice ceased in the Meiji period, it came to be called a hall for enshrining Amida (Amida etc.). The principal image is a wooden seated statue of Amida Nyorai (266 cm) created by the Buddhist sculptor Ryoen in 1131. On either side of the statue are enshrined the bodhisattvas Kannon and Seishi. Both the building and the statue are nationally recognized. It has been designated as an important cultural property. The hall is open to the public only on the 18th of every month from March to December (9:00-16:00). Reservations are required to visit the hall on other days, and there is a donation of 200 yen for visiting the hall. It is necessary.

Mountains
Daisen, the highest peak in the Chugoku region, is a volcanic mountain and a center of worship with a Buddhist temple. The village near the hiking trail heads offers accommodations such as Itadaki Daisen and Hotel Daisen Shirogane, along with local properties on Airbnb. While it was once a local ski hub, there are signs of new life in the town. Alternatively, visitors can stay in Yonago, the nearest large city to Daisen.
🌟 5/5 – Unforgettable Mt. Daisen Adventure! We hiked Mt. Daisen at the start of November—technically autumn, though it felt like winter at the peak! Reaching 1,709 meters with a real-feel temperature of just 3°C, we even got caught in a brief hailstorm. It was exhilarating! The climb took about 4 hours up and 2 hours down. My legs and back were sore from the ascent and carrying a backpack, but it was absolutely worth it. We had lunch in a cozy insulated hut near the summit, which was a welcome break in the cold. I went with friends and colleagues, and we took tons of amazing photos. The views, the weather, the challenge—it all made for a journey to remember. So much fun, so much laughter, and a true test of endurance. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a thrilling autumn hike!
Carlo S — Google review
2.5-3 hours to the summit (with a tea break in between) and the path is mostly well maintained. In mid-November, it was quite snowy and slippery from around the attitude of 1,600m. The autumn leaves were quite nice below 700-800m I would say... We liked the small shelter at the top of the mountain where we (and most of the people) had quick lunch break.

Tough hike. About 900m elevation, stairs all the way. Couple of different routes. Infrequent buses from Yonago so get your timing right. I took the 9.30 bus and only just made the 3.20 return if I had missed it would have been a 3 hour wait so probably better to take the earlier bus.

Bohuslav Š — Google review
The highest point in the Chugoku region of Japan. Not very high@ 1710 meters but the elevation change of nearly 1000 meters and very few flat areas makes this climb strenuous. There is a never ending set of stairs/rocks until the view opens up around 1600 meter mark and from there you gradually walk up to the summit on a wooden board (you cannot get off the board as it is a protected area). I did the climb on a dog day summer afternoon and the summit was still crowded. The actual summit (1729 meters) is closed for the regular visitors because it is a very dangerous walk on a very thin ridge barely the width of your shoulders. The more adventurous people take the back side route but I wouldn't advise it and you would be crazy to even think of attempting it alone. (check Youtube for videos) It took me 3 hours to reach the summit but I can do the same route on a cooler day in 2.5 hours. The descent took me 2 hours. Carry lots of water in Summers or get ready to shell out lots of Yens for water at the hut on top. No toilets between the parking lot and summit. If you prefer clean toilets, do your thing in the toilets of the parking lot. Like most mountains in Japan, there were a lot of a over prepared trekkers but I would suggest keeping things as light as possible especially in Summers. I come from a very hot place but even I was surprised by the profuse sweating that I experienced. I would recommend this hike but please get there early because the parking lots near the trail are usually full by 0700AM after which you have to park quite far from the trail (add another 40-50 minutes to the time).
Vinayak B — Google review
Great hike took us just over 2 hours to get to the top took the Natsuyama Trial up and the Motodani Valley trail down. The trail is very steep but well marked. Unfortunately it was quite foggy at the top but the midpoint view and temples in the way down made it very worth it!

Absolutely amazing food, I had the Wagyu beef and my husband had the seafood pasta. The food was so delicious and the portions left us satisfied and not overly full. We also tried the Sunset drink and happy tea, we highly recommend both. We wish we lived closer so that we could go everyday. Will definitely dine here again whenever we're in the area.

(Translated by Google) Arrived around 12:40 on September 22, 2024. First visit. No matter who enters, there is no guidance or welcome. An elderly family member came and didn't know how to write their name on the waiting sheet, so another customer explained it to them. I ordered Daigo udon, mini tempura bowl, shrimp tempura udon, and small shrimp tempura bowl. The low voice of the lady taking the order also irritated me as I had to wait. I just ate Sanuki udon in Kagawa the other day, so I can't compare it, but I was disgusted by how bad the texture of the udon was. If you're a regular customer and only eat udon around here, you probably won't notice anything. I was wondering what kind of udon it would be since it has been around for a long time, but it was not what I expected. (Original) 2024 9/22 12時40分頃着。初来店。誰が入っても案内も無ければいらっしゃいませも無い。 高齢の家族連れが来てウェイティングシートに名前を書くのもわかってないので他のお客が説明していた。 醍醐うどん、ミニ天丼、えび天うどん、小えび天丼を注文。 注文を取る、おばさんの声が小さいのも待たされた分イライラする。 先日、香川で讃岐うどんを食べたばかりで比べるわけでは無いですが、うどんのあまりの食感の悪さに嫌気が差しました。 常連さんで、この辺のうどんばっか食べていたらおそらく何ら気にならないのでしょう。 昔からあるのでどんなうどんかと思いましたが期待はずれでした。

(Translated by Google) The udon noodles had a firm texture, went down easily, and were really delicious. I could see the sea from the tatami seats.

I definitely want to go eat there again 😊 (Original) おうどんがしっかりコシがあって、喉越しもよく、本当に美味しかったです。座敷席からは海が見えました。 いつもはランチタイムにとても並ぶと聞いていましたが、たまたま空いていて良かったです。地元の方もよく使うお店だそうで、ここは間違いないです! また絶対食べに行きたいです😊

Ninomiya — Google review
(Translated by Google) I've been going there for 40 years, and it would be unfair to compare it to back then, but a few years ago, when I ordered cold udon, it had a dry texture, so I started ordering only hot udon. One day, two of us went in and ordered the same "Miyama Udon", but the waiter first delivered one and then went straight to the kitchen without saying a word to deliver the "Daigo Udon" to the customer sitting next to us. Even though he passed in front of our table, he didn't even say "Please wait a little longer". After a while, he brought the remaining "Miyama Udon" whispering "Sorry to keep you waiting". I felt that it would have been better to deliver the "Daigo Udon" to the customer first, and then deliver ours later and deliver the "Miyama Udon" at the same time! At the time, the restaurant had just opened, and there were two groups of two people, including us, and two groups of single diners. I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if it was crowded at night. (Original) 40年前から行ってましたが、あの頃と比べるのは酷なので言いませんが、数年前から冷たいうどんを頼むとボソボソした歯触りなので、温かいうどんしか頼まなくなりました。 ある日、2人で入店し、同じ「深山うどん」を頼みましたが、 まず、ひとつ届いて、そのまま無言で厨房に向かい、隣席のお客さんの「醍醐うどん」を届けていました。 私達の席の前を通ったのに「もう少しお待ちください」の声かけも無かったです。 しばらくしてから残りの「深山うどん」を「お待たせしました」と小声で持って来られました。 それなら「醍醐うどん」のお客さんを先に届けて、私達の分は後にして同時に「深山うどん」を届けた方が良いのでは⁈と感じました。 その時は開店したばかりで、私達を含め2人連れが2組、お一人様が2組でした。 混んだ時間になったらどうなるのか⁈勝手に想像してしまいました。

It feels like something you could make at home. (Original) 麺が不定形で独特な形をしてる 麺のコシは普通、汁も普通、全体的に麺の形以外全て普通 不味いは無いが特別美味しくもない なんか家でも作れそうな感じ

(Translated by Google) Opening at 10:30 Already packed with customers! We sat in a tatami room with a great view of the ocean. When I come to Daigo, I always order: ◉ Daigo Udon ◉ Mini Tempura Bowl The bonito broth complements the handmade udon perfectly. It's quite filling, so I'd be satisfied with just the Daigo Udon, but I always like to finish off with a mini tempura bowl. lol Thank you for the meal today♪ (Original) 10:30オープン すでに沢山のお客様! 海が一望できる見晴らしのよいお座敷に座りました。 醍醐さんにきていつも注文するのが ◉醍醐うどん ◉ミニ天丼 カツオだしが効いて手打ちうどんによく合います。結構ボリュームがあるので醍醐うどんだけでも満足できますが、やっぱミニ天丼でシメたいのです笑笑 今日もご馳走様でした♪

Nestled in the charming Daisen town area, Sunset Cafe offers a delightful escape for food lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. While it may not accept credit cards for its famous shaved ice, the rich flavors of their sauces make every bite worthwhile. The cafe's interior is adorned with captivating cards showcasing Mt. Daisen and local attractions, available through a small donation—an inviting touch!
Came here for lunch after a snow walk to the temple and doing hot spring. The restaurant is a perfect rest place, while waiting for the public bus. The burger is delicious and coffee is great. Cosy environment with chill music

Best pork burger after I hiked from Mount Daisen. The fries is so tasty and not like normal fries we get from Mc Donald. The nugget also hand made by the restaurant. Atmosphere restaurant is great. It provide indoor and outdoor dining.

Absolutely wonderful burger and lovely space to wait for the bus. At Tokyo prices it's like McDonalds. Pay in advance. Beeper tells you when you have to pick up your food. Clean the table yourself. Beer came with the burger 30 minutes after I ordered. No idea of hospitality No wonder all the Japanese inns in this village are literally falling down and abandoned. No service mind.

Good choice of burgers. But only one (chicken burger) for people who don’t eat beef. The food is okay, but the views during sunset are amazing.

(Translated by Google) When my husband came to Komorebito to climb Mt. Daisen, he said, "It was the most delicious hamburger I've ever eaten." The hamburger was so big I wondered if it was dinner. I used a knife and fork. I chose the tomato and cheese hamburger with spicy sauce. You get a ¥50 discount when you order a drink set, so I went with ginger ale. (I ended up having a cafe latte at a convenience store on the way...) But it was a perfect complement to the spicy seasoning, and I was delighted. The French fries were the equivalent of a whole potato. (Sorry, the photo only shows a few left.) The bread was delicious, and it was almost too good to eat in a tourist area. The hotel on the upper floors was beautiful, and I thought it would be nice to have dinner here. (However, the hotel was quite expensive, so I gave up.) It was a self-service restaurant, so I gave the service a ✩3 rating. The view was amazing, so I recommend it on a clear day. It was a weekday and lunchtime had long passed, so we were able to enjoy a special seat. (Original) 夫が大山登山に来た時に「今まで食べたハンバーガーで一番美味しかった」と言っていたコモレビトさん。 ボリュームがあるハンバーグは夕食か?と思うくらいです。ナイフとフォーク使いました。わたしはトマトとチーズのハンバーガーでスパイスソースをチョイス。 飲み物はセットでオーダーすると¥50引きになるのでジンジャーエールにしました。(途中コンビニでカフェラテを飲んでしまったので⋯)でもスパイスの効いた味付けにぴったりで嬉しかったです。 フライドポテトもじゃがいも1個分はあるんじゃないかという量です。(写真は残り数個の状態ですみません) パンも美味しいし、観光地で食べるにはもったいないくらい。上階がホテルになっているので、建物も素敵だし、ここで夕食でもいいな〜と思いました。(ホテルはとてもリッチな価格帯だったので諦めましたが。) セルフスタイルだったので、サービスは✩3にしました。 展望がとても素晴らしいので、よく晴れた日にオススメです。平日だったのとランチタイムはとっくに過ぎていたので特等席で過ごすことができました。

Nestled near the base of Mt. Daisen, DaisenKan is a charming inn that exudes a nostalgic vibe reminiscent of traditional training camps. Ideal for both climbers and skiers, this cozy retreat offers comfortable accommodations at an affordable price, with meals available upon request. Guests rave about the delicious Genghis Khan dinner served here, perfect for replenishing energy after a day on the slopes or trails.
The shower room is not good and so small. You had better to go to another spa near this hotel. The meal was delicious. You might be satisfied.

(Translated by Google) I used it for climbing Mt. Daisen. The inn is a good old inn. It feels like a nostalgic training camp. The children were happy to learn about the know-how of climbing Mt. Daisen, and the children were provided with complimentary food as well. I could take a bath anytime, so it was nice to be able to sweat off after climbing. I ate Genghis Khan after feeling tired and was able to recover considerably. thank you very much. (Original) 大山登山で利用しました。 宿は古き良き宿。懐かしい合宿所という感じです。 大山登山のノウハウを教えていただき、料理もサービス品が出てきて子ども達が喜んでました。 いつでもお風呂に入れるので、登山後に汗を流せて良かったです。 疲れた後に食べたジンギスカンで、かなり体調回復できました。 ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) Although the building is old, the inn is located next to the Montbell Oyama store and is run by a couple who feel at home. Used by mountain climbers and skiers. I used it for skiing this time. Although the lift is a little far away, it's not a problem at all compared to going from home. There is also a parking lot next to the inn. We are thankful that there is a ski storage room, drying room, and tune-up table in the basement. For dinner, you could choose between hot pot and Genghis Khan, and most of us ate Genghis Khan. We also have Genghis Khan. It's delicious! I will use it again as the price is low \(^o^)/ (Original) 建物は古いもののアットホームな夫婦の経営するモンベル大山店の隣にある旅館です。登山、スキー客が利用します。今回スキーで利用しました。 リフトまでやや遠いものの家からに比べれば全然問題ありません。 駐車場も宿の隣にあります。地下にはスキー保管室、乾燥室、チューンナップ台までありありがたいです。 夕食に鍋とジンギスカンから選ぶことができ、たいていがジンギスカンを食べていました。私たちもジンギスカン。美味しいですよ! 価格もお安くまた利用します\(^o^)/

(Translated by Google) Used for overnight stay. Room without meals: 5,500 yen. Plus meal costs. Dinner was Genghis Khan. It's just delicious. The people at the inn are very kind and polite, so you can feel at ease. It was on the 3rd floor so there were stairs. The slippers were old and almost slippery. A sink like a forest school. The toilets are warm, new and clean. The room is on the Montbell side and has no view. I can't watch TV because the signal is bad. Hot water is boiled in the hallway, so feel free to bring it with you. There is also a microwave and refrigerator. In the morning, you can have a rice ball bento made for you. (Instead of breakfast) I go up the mountain with it. I'm glad that I can use the bath after coming down from the mountain. It's hot and feels good! You can also park your car there. You can pay when you return. Maximum convenience. The only thing is that the rice ball bento was not salty enough. I would like to request improvements. (Original) 宿泊で利用。素泊まり5500円。プラス食事代。晩御飯はジンギスカン。普通に美味しい。 旅館の人はとても親切で丁寧な接客で安心できる。 3階だった為階段。スリッパが古くて滑りそうだった。林間学校みたいな流し。トイレは暖かいし新しくしていてキレイ。部屋はモンベル側で景色は皆無。テレビは電波悪くて観れない。 お湯は廊下に沸かしてあるので自由に持って行ける。レンジも冷蔵庫も有る。 朝はおむすび弁当作ってもらえる。(朝ごはんの変わり)それを持って山に上がる。 山から降りたらお風呂が利用できるのが嬉しい。 熱々で気持ちいい! 車も置ける。 支払いも帰る時に支払ってOK。 利便性最高。 ただひとつ、おむすび弁当の塩気が足りなすぎる。改善をお願いしたい。

(Translated by Google) I used it for lunch. Daisen chicken? I received udon noodles with . It was fatty and delicious. Oyakodon looked delicious, but unfortunately it was sold out. There seemed to be poor communication between the front desk and the kitchen, and it seemed like it was difficult to communicate orders, and responses when items were sold out were slow. (Original) 昼食で利用しました。 大山鶏?の入ったうどんをいただきました。脂がのって美味しかったです。 親子丼も美味しそうでしたが、残念ながら売り切れとなっていました。 フロントと厨房の連絡が良くない感じで、オーダーが伝わりにくいのか、売り切れの応答も遅い感じでした。

(Translated by Google) I stayed at this inn because it was the closest to Mt. Daisen's Natsuyama trailhead. The building is dilapidated and you can only stay here without meals. To make matters worse, the hostess' customer service attitude was very bad. master? He walked past the guest without saying hello and went back to his room. The bath is too hot and small. What do you mean by 6000 yen per night? I will never use it again. (Original) 大山の夏山登山口に一番近い旅館ということで宿泊した。建物はオンボロで素泊まり。おまけに女将さんの接客態度が悪すぎ。主人?は客に挨拶もなくサーっと通り過ぎて部屋に帰っていった。風呂も熱すぎるわ、狭いわで。これで1泊6000円てどういうこと。もう2度と利用しません。

(Translated by Google) Anyway, the customer service is kind, courteous, and likable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. You are responsible for pulling the futon etc. yourself. Amenities are small. There is also no hair dryer. The bath is small, but it's enough if you don't think about luxury. The food at the restaurant next door is delicious. (Original) とにかく接客は親切丁寧で好感が持てます。客室は綺麗で快適でした。布団引き等はセルフです。アメニティは少なめ。ドライヤーもありません。お風呂は狭いけど贅沢を考えなければ充分です。同経営隣接するレストランのお食事は美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) It's much older than the online photo. I stayed on the third floor, but the stairs are quite steep and there are many steps, so be careful. Not recommended for people who are concerned about old odors. Washrooms and toilets are shared. The hallway is dark. The bath is on the first floor and can accommodate about 3 people. It's not a hot spring. There is Gouenyuin in the immediate vicinity, so we recommend that. (Original) ネットの写真よりかなり古いです。 3階に宿泊しましたが階段もかなり急て、段差もあちこちありますので注意が必要です。 古いニオイが気になる方にはオススメできません。洗面、トイレは共用です。 廊下が暗いです。お風呂は1階で3名位入れます。温泉ではありません。直ぐ近くに豪円湯院がありますのでそちらがオススメです。
