Karasugasen

Karasugasen reaches 1,448 meters in elevation and features multiple hiking trails leading through dense forests to the mountain peak.

The mountain has served as a natural boundary between Tottori and Okayama prefectures since the establishment of modern Japanese administrative divisions in 1871.

Local residents gather annually at the base of the mountain for traditional festivals that celebrate the changing of seasons through music and dance.

The mountain trails remain accessible from April through November, with dedicated parking facilities and rest stations available at the main entrance points.

Researchers have identified rare species of alpine butterflies that exclusively inhabit the upper slopes of Karasugasen above 1,200 meters.
