Mt. Daisen's extensive beech forests are the star of the Chugoku autumn season, turning a luminous gold and amber from mid-October that rivals the maple colours of more famous destinations. Guided trekking experiences lead small groups along well-maintained trails through the Daisen-Oki National Park, with summit views stretching to the Japan Sea on clear days. Local guide companies operate half-day and full-day programmes tailored to international visitors, including transport from Yonago or Matsue.
