Masumizu Highland

大山桝水高原

Tottori · Chugoku

A 700-900m grassland on Mount Daisen's southwest slope, reached by a "Sky Lift" to an observation deck, designated a Daisen-Oki National Park viewpoint.

Why we picked it

A ski-lift-accessed alpine meadow most Daisen visitors don't realize is open in summer too.
