🌟 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!

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

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.

Ruins and recreated Yayoi Era village as well as a free museum and excavation site near Yonago.

incredible people and time at a great price. highly recommend if you're in Tottori to check it out. the snow is perfect and the people working are so kind and helpful.

The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful. Gave me lots of information and advice on hiking routes, activities and attractions in the area. Walking poles, gators and backpacks available to rent at a very good price. They even boiled me some hot water for my ramen & tea when everywhere else was closed. Spoke excellent english and I am very grateful for all their help. Also the hike up Mt Daisen was fantastic!

This is a paid parking. Further into town there are free parking available.

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.

This is a wonderful park for kids. There are many things to kids to play on. My daughters day care had an outing here with parents and it was more than bug enough for all of us. This is a really good place for kids at the foot of Mt Daisen.

(Translated by Google) It was a very pleasant observation deck. You can see Mt. Daisen and the ocean on the other side. (Original) とても気持ちのいい展望台でした。 大山も見えるし、反対側には海も見えます。

This was such a beautiful place to see the wisteria in full bloom without any crowds! The walk from Nawa Station was not too tiring nor steep and, even though the buses and trains were quite infrequent, it was worth it. The mornings seem to be the best time to visit, with only a handful of people around 9am. It was nice because I could take pictures without worrying. Overall, such a lovely and quiet place to visit.

(Translated by Google) Nawa Shrine is a historic shrine located in Daisen-cho, Saihaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture, and is dedicated to Nawa Nagano, a loyal vassal of the Southern Court, and 42 members of his family. (It's a prestigious shrine and is irresistible for history buffs! (｀･ω･´)) Approximately 400 Yoshino cherry trees are planted along the approach to the shrine, and in spring, the cherry blossom tunnel is in full bloom, attracting many cherry blossom viewing visitors. You can also enjoy the azaleas in May, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of each season. (The cherry blossom season is a spectacular view! It's sure to look great in photos (*´ ˘ `*)) The precincts are spacious, and the shrine building is majestic and beautifully maintained. The view of the Sea of ​​Japan seen from the torii gate was spectacular, and I felt as if my soul had been cleansed while visiting the shrine. (Moved by the collaboration between the sea and cherry blossoms (๑>ᴗ<๑)) Nawa Shrine has a long history, and the story of Nawa Nagano's exploits in rescuing Emperor Go-Daigo from Oki Island during the Genko War is passed down from generation to generation. Later, this shrine was built to honor the famous generals who were important during the Kenmu Restoration. (A hot spot for history buffs! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧) You can receive a stamp in the form of a written note, but depending on the timing of your visit, there may be no one present, so it is recommended to check in advance. (If you want to get a Goshuin stamp, plan accordingly!( *´艸｀)) Access is convenient, approximately 5 minutes by car from San'in Expressway Nawa IC, and parking is available. It is recommended not only as a tourist destination but also for those who want to spend a quiet time. (Refresh yourself with the spectacular view from the approach (*´ω｀*)) This is a special place where history and nature are fused, so why not take your time and pay your respects while remembering the achievements of Nagako Nagano. Be sure to visit during the cherry blossom season in spring and the changing leaves in fall. (*´ω｀*) (Original) 名和神社は、鳥取県西伯郡大山町に鎮座する歴史ある神社で、南朝の忠臣・名和長年公とその一族42名を祀っています。 （格式高い神社で歴史好きにはたまらない！(｀･ω･´)） 参道には約400本のソメイヨシノが植えられており、春になると桜のトンネルが見事に咲き誇り、多くの花見客で賑わいます。また、5月にはツツジも楽しめるため、四季折々の美しい景色を堪能できます。 （桜の季節は絶景！写真映え間違いなし(*´ ˘ `*)） 境内は広々としており、社殿は荘厳で美しく整備されています。鳥居から見える日本海の景色も圧巻で、参拝中に心が洗われるような気持ちになりました。 （海と桜のコラボレーションに感動(๑>ᴗ<๑)） 名和神社の歴史は長く、元弘の乱で名和長年が後醍醐天皇を隠岐島から救出した際の功績が語り継がれています。その後、建武の新政で重用された名将を讃えるために、この神社が建立されました。 （歴史好きにはたまらない、熱いスポット！( •̀ ω •́ )✧） 御朱印は書き置きの形式でいただけますが、参拝のタイミングによっては無人の場合もあるため、事前に確認するのがおすすめです。 （御朱印を狙うなら計画的に！( *´艸｀)） アクセスは山陰道名和ICから車で約5分と便利で、駐車場も完備されています。観光地としてだけでなく、静かなひとときを過ごしたい方にもおすすめです。 （参道からの絶景でリフレッシュ(*´ω｀*)） 歴史と自然が融合した特別な場所で、名和長年公の功績を偲びながらゆっくりと参拝してみてはいかがでしょうか。春の桜や秋の紅葉の時期にぜひ訪れてみてください。 (*´ω｀*)

(Translated by Google) In ancient times, the shrine was called "Ichinomiya Daimyojin" and the deities enshrined here are Tennin Homi no Mikoto, Akitsu Shihime no Mikoto, Shimoteruhime no Mikoto, and Sugawara no Michizane no Mikoto. It seems to be a shrine that is famous among locals for praying for safe childbirth and for visiting the shrine, and there were many votive tablets decorated in the precincts. You can get a goshuin stamp at the shrine office next to the shrine grounds (the chief priest's home), but it seemed like he was not there when I visited, so I would like to visit again. Access by car is easy as there is a parking lot in front of the torii gate. (Original) 古来、｢一宮大明神」と呼ばれていたお社で天忍穂耳命、秋津師姫命、下照姫命、菅原道真命を祭神とします。地元では安産祈願やお宮参りで有名な神社のようで、境内にもたくさんの絵馬が飾られていました。御朱印は境内横の社務所(宮司様のご自宅)で兼務社を合わせていただけますが、訪問時はご不在のようでしたのでまた再訪させていただきたいと思います。車でのアクセスは鳥居前に駐車場がありますので容易です。

(Translated by Google) 🅿There is a parking lot. 🚻There is also a toilet. 👀The garden is wonderful. (Original) 🅿駐車場はあります。 🚻トイレもあります。 👀庭園が素晴らしいです。
