Mount Daisen

大山

Daisen, Tottori · Elevation 1,709 m

Mount Daisen (Misen, 1,709.4 m) is a freestanding peak in Daisen Town, Tottori Prefecture, the highest mountain in the Chūgoku region and nicknamed "Hōki Fuji." The true summit is Kengamine (1,729 m), but its traverse is officially discouraged due to severe erosion, so general hikers regard Misen as the de-facto top. Forming the heart of Daisen-Oki National Park, the mountain is known for its primeval beech forests, the largest grove of Daisen Japanese yew, and the religious cultural landscape around Daisen-ji. It is listed in the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains and the Hundred Flowering Mountains.
