Daisen, Mountain town in Saihaku District, Japan
Located in western Tottori Prefecture, Daisen extends from the Sea of Japan coastline to Mount Daisen, covering 189 square kilometers of diverse terrain.
The merger of Nakayama and Nawa towns in March 2005 created the current municipality of Daisen, inheriting control from the Ikeda clan's administration during the Edo period.
The town holds numerous designated Cultural Properties of Japan and contains the Daisen-ji Temple, established in 718 as a center for mountain worship.
Four elementary schools and three junior high schools operate within Daisen, while the JR West San'in Line provides rail connections through multiple local stations.
Mount Daisen's presence shapes local life with winter snowfall supporting ski activities and autumn transforming surrounding maple and beech forests.
