Most of the areas are shaded and it’s not very hot in late September. Bring a stick (or a pair) if possible as it’s quite tiring to go up for about two hours (and I chose the easier summer trail already!). It was a wonderful hike though it was quite foggy on the day I arrived the summit of Daisen. Highly recommend staying in a hostel (ryokan in Japanese) along the ryokan street after the hike. You may enjoy onsen to rejuvenate your body. The area is very quiet and relaxing. Enjoy the nature and Japanese culture!

My friend and I were looking to try a nature tour of sorts and happened upon this “Mori no Kuni” online that offered bike tours. The campground it is based out of is incredibly cute with great facilities for families (and amazing playground for children!). The staff were very friendly and spoke a little English. Our guide, nicknamed “Taxi,” was very kind and showed us many great picture spots along the bike trail. It is great for beginner bikers as it is mostly downhill. You feel the wind in your hair and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views! I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Tottori area. They provide the bike and helmets. It is about a 30 minute bus ride from Yonago station. Be mindful of return buses as they are quite spread out throughout the day.

We were expecting a nice flower park and were instead overwhelmed by this huge, amazing complex of gardens, two domed-areas, forest, water, and beautiful pathway areas. We could have used 2-3 hours to thoroughly visit. Of course there were flowers everywhere, in planters and hanging baskets on pathways, in the domes and other buildings, and seasonal ones growing in the ground. In addition, the layout of the park is well-done. A main covered wooden walkway circles the central area, with the Main Dome in the center and a Jungle Dome on the South side, and other buildings on the East and North sides of this circle (the Entrance building is at the West side). A pterodactyl topiary and stick dinosaur appear near the Entrance and visiting the Jungle Dome sure makes you feel like being in Jurassic Park.
