Even when I was severely struggling to walk, it was not challenging whatsoever to be in a contemplative mood. It was our first day in Daisen. The crisp air and the fresh snow were the first to greet us. just a few moments before, a quick dusting added another layer to the already thick blanket of snow. I am no ski-virgin, but this would be my first time to try snowshoeing. With snowshoes firmly fastened and ski poles lightly gripped, we began our trek through the bare forest to the temple up in the mountain.
Where I’m from, Mt. Daisen is unheard of. When we think of Japanese mountains, there typically is only one that pops in mind: the renowned snow-capped Mt. Fuji. but Japan’s wrinkled terrain is blessed with numerous other peaks. one of the most culturally significant is Mt. Daisen in Tottori Prefecture. At the best angle, it looks like Fuji too, only smaller, but its significance goes beyond appearances. The volcanic Mt. Daisen is the most revered mountain in the country. In fact, for many of its history, locals believed that the mountain itself is a god.
Mt. Daisen is a center of mountain worship in Japan. It is so sacred that up until the Edo period (Tokugawa era, 1603-1868), no one is allowed to climb unless accompanied by an assigned monk. It is of great spiritual significance to the Tendai sect of Mahayana Buddhism and the syncretic Shugendō religion.
Mt. Daisen is just one of the numerous destinations in store for you on this side of Tottori Prefecture!

UNDERSTANDING YONAGO and DAISEN
Yonago City and Daisen town are both on the western end of Tottori Prefecture. With only 500,000 residents, it is the least populated prefecture in Japan. It’s composed of four cities — Tottori City (the capital), Yonago, Kurayoshi, and Sakaiminato — and 15 towns, numerous of which lie in the foothills of its renowned mountains, including Mt. Daisen.
This isn’t Mt. Fuji. This is Tottori’s Mt Daisen!
Yonago City is the second largest and second many populous city in Tottori Prefecture, next only to Tottori City. It is the commercial and transportation hub of Western Tottori.
This travel guide focuses on Western Tottori, spanning the Yonago City, Sakaiminato, and Daisen. We also included Kurayoshi City because it’s easily available from there.
Tottori Prefecture enjoys a relatively low cost of living. compared to Tokyo or even Osaka, you’ll find your yen having much more purchasing power here because much of the produce is sourced locally, a testament to the richness of the area in natural resources. the best part is, things are less expensive but the quality is often better. For example, one of the prefecture’s essential products is Tottori beef, a premium-grade melt-in-your-mouth precursor to other highly revered but insanely expensive Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef, and Omi beef.
Other info you need to know:
Language: Japanese (Nihongo). The majority of the locals seldom speak English, but many of the signs and other traveler promotional materials have English translations.
Currency: Japanese Yen (JPY, ¥). JPY 1000 is around USD 8.80, SGD 12.2, EUR 7.80, PHP 466 (as of November 2018).
Modes of payment: cash is king here. numerous high-end establishments also accept credit report card transactions, but cash is still preferred.
Electricity Info: 100V. type A sockets. Plugs have two flat pins. type B is in some cases used but not that common.
BEST TIME TO visit YONAGO CITY
Like many of Japan, Tottori enjoys a temperate climate, which implies four distinct seasons. The summer months of June and July are the wettest and hottest, while the winter season months of January and February the driest and coldest.
That said, compared to that of other essential Japan destinations, Tottori’s summer isn’t really that hot, and winter season not that harsh. check out the graph by the climate change knowledge Portal below.
Tottori Prefecture is a year-round destination. Each season provides different experiences. The “best” season depends on what you want to enjoy. For example, I’m a winter season guy, so I’m always partial to the cold months, even in Tottori. winter season brings fantastic ocean bounty including the highly sought-after matsuba-gani (snow crabs) and mosa-ebi (stalwart shrimps). I also delighted in skiing down the slopes of Mt. Daisen!
HOW TO get TO YONAGO CITY
Tottori Prefecture has two commercial airports, and both are extremely cool: the Tottori Sanyu Conan airport in Tottori City and Yonago Kitaro airport in Sakaiminato. Both airports were named after well-known Japanese manga, Detective Conan and GeGeGe no Kitaro.
Although the name suggests otherwise, the Yonago Kitaro airport is actually located in Sakaiminato, not in Yonago, but it’s still pretty accessible. It connects the area to mostly domestic destinations and Hong Kong and Incheon (Seoul).
Many travelers visit Yonago as part of a grander Japan itinerary. Usually, they come from Tottori City, Osaka, or Hiroshima.
