See the rocky mountain up there? That is Mt. Daisen, another big mountain laying across Okayama and Tottori prefectures. That is popular for skiing and hiking as well.

And the other side, here goes Hiruzen which, almost swallowed the Wadas on the other day……we made it out alive anyway. Nice views.

Lots of Susuki (Japanese pampas grass) grows on the field up there.

Lastly

How do you find Hiruzen? It is good to stay away from civilization even for a few days, don’t you think? I’d love to try cycling and other activities next time in Hiruzen.

See you around!
