Post-towns on Daisen Michi(roads)
Mt.Daisen in Tottori Prefecture has long been a spiritual icon and a center of mountain worship since ancient times and there was Japan's largest livestock market at the foot of the mountain, attracting people from all over the country. The Daisen Michi, ancient roads connected to Mt. Daisen, remains today.
The Gohara and Nobusuke districts prospered as post-towns(providing accommodations) on the Daisen Michi(roads). The townscapes and the 'cattle-tie stones' still remain today remind us of the past.
