Mt. Hiruzen is located at the border of Tottori pref. and Okayama pref. in the western Japan.
Start point is in the Okayama pref side parking lot.
It was the autumn season (30 Oct. 2020) when I have visited to Mt. Hiruzen.
All the trees are changing the leaf's color from green to red or yellow and it was so beautiful.
Up to the second post, you need to go up with long stairs. After the fifth post, you may enjoy nice view of Hiruzen highlands. At the eighth post, you will see the summit of Mt. Hiruzen and also Mt. Daisen (Japan 100 mountains) at the west side.
From the peak, you may see the Japan sea, and Kurayoshi city and Togo lake in Tottori pref. at the north side.
