What is Daisen?
Mt. Daisen, located in the Oki National Park, is the highest mountain in the Chugoku region with young leaves and fresh greenery at an altitude of 1,709 m (Japan's 100 Famous Mountains). Climbing is popular throughout the year, but especially during the ``Daisen Natsuyama Opening Festival'' held in June, many climbers visit Mt. Daisen in summer. Each of the four seasons on Mt. Daisen has its own charm, and you can enjoy each season's attractions, such as the chirping of birds and young leaves and fresh greenery in spring, the summer escape from the heat, and the panoramic view of the entire mountain turning yellow and red in autumn.

Climbing/hiking etiquette and clothing
Information from spring to autumn.
Have fun climbing while observing good manners. However, if you don't prepare well, climbing the mountain can lead to trouble. My physical condition changes depending on the heat and cold. Come up with a reasonable plan that suits your level.
●Backpack (backpack): Should have a capacity of about 20 to 30 liters. Since rain is expected, something waterproof is best.
●Hat, gloves, rain gear, flashlight, medicine
●Towels
●Food and sufficient drinking water (in addition to bento boxes such as rice balls, high-calorie portable food (chocolate, nuts, candy, biscuits, etc.) and drinking water of at least 1.5 liters)
●Put pebbles in your backpack to protect the mountaintop (to participate in the long history of the One Tree One Stone movement)
●Change of clothes: Prepare clothes for the return trip, considering not only the rain, but also the possibility of getting wet from sweat.
●Clothing: It's best to wear long-sleeved shirts (roll up your sleeves when it's hot) and loose, stretchy pants. Also, rain gear is essential in preparation for the changeable mountain weather. The temperature will drop considerably depending on the altitude compared to the plains, so be sure to bring warm clothing (temperature drops 6 degrees for each 1000m elevation)
●Shoes: Climbing shoes are ideal, but they should fit well to avoid chafing. However, anything that is too tight is definitely not acceptable.
