Kibi Highlands, Table land in Okayama Prefecture, Japan.
The Kibi Highlands extend across Okayama, Hiroshima, and Hyogo Prefectures, reaching an elevation of 835 meters in the San'yō region of western Japan.
During the 4th century, the region housed the Kibi Kingdom, which controlled much of present-day Okayama Prefecture and competed with the Yamato Clan.
The region maintains connections to the Momotaro folktale, where a peach-born boy defeats ogres, inspired by the legend of Prince Kibitsuhiko.
Visitors can explore the area through a 17-kilometer cycling route between Bizen-Ichinomiya and Soja Stations, with bicycle rentals available at both locations.
The Kibitsu Shrine, the former head shrine of the Kibi Kingdom, features extended covered corridors and stands as the most important religious structure in the area.
