I've visited the Sanin area of Japan several times and have climbed Mt Daisen twice in different seasons. Then the skies are clear, it is one of the best summit views in Japan! Because it's very close the the sea, it offers amazing panoramic views of Yonago, Lake Shinji and even to Matsue and beyond! It's the jewel of Tottori. Daisen (town) is also a lovely visit. There are several nice cafes, locally run that look like museums inside! The climb up the 3000 year old steps to the shrine is also an excellent experience. If you're visiting in June, don't miss the Natsubaraki TORCH WALK from the top to the bottom. Participating in the event is a magical experience, walking down with 2000 torches dancing through the canopy of trees the town. In the winter, the skiing is good and in the fall, the leaves here are like fireworks! Having a rental car is the way to go, easy to get from Yonago city, the airport nearby. It seems everything is very close from Yonago which is the crossroads of the Sanin Area. If you get a chance, try the Daisen Kuroge Wagyu beef and the amazing vegetables from the area. The dairy products are also excellent and everyone makes a trip to DAISEN MILK NO SATO for a soft cream. Just milk flavored - is incredible!
Ideally you'd need about 2 full days to take it all in but you can easily spend a week hiking and eating your way around the mountain. Enjoy!
