explanation: Mt. Daisen is an extinct strato-volcano located in the west of Tottori Prefecture. Being isolated and located near the coast, it appears higher than its real height (1729m). Daisen means "Great Mountain" in a local dialect. A legend says that Japanese god, Susano, might have attracted lands from Korea and Hokuriku region with ropes and using Mt. Daisen as a peg. With Oki Islands in Japanese Sea, it forms Oki Daisen National Park.
