A refreshing highland area spreading at an altitude of about 700 meters on the border between Okayama and Tottori prefectures. In winter, it is crowded as a winter resort where you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding, and in summer, you can enjoy camping and hiking as a summer retreat. In the vicinity of the nearby "Lake Onbara," you can stroll quietly in untouched nature and encounter seasonal alpine plants. Away from the city, it is a nature spot where you can experience the dynamic changes of Japan's mountainous regions throughout the year.
