ABOUT
About this spot
Hiruzen Highland is a vast highland resort in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. Known as a summer retreat, it is the perfect place for a weekend of forgetting the bustle of the city and recharging. The main highlights are the panoramic view of the mountains known as the Three Hiruzen Peaks and the Jersey cows relaxing in their shadow. At Hiruzen Jersey Land you can enjoy rich Jersey milk, soft serve ice cream, and cheese fondue, a gourmet experience that will satisfy everyone from adults to children. For active travelers, we recommend the roughly 30 km cycling course that circles the highland. Rental bicycles are plentiful, so you can leisurely enjoy the scenery while feeling the refreshing breeze. Different charms await throughout the year as well: skiing and snowboarding in winter, vivid autumn foliage in fall, and camping and hiking in spring. Nearby are cultural spots such as the amusement park "Joyful Park" and "Greenable Hiruzen," designed by Kengo Kuma. Whether for a drive with friends, a family trip, or a solo trip to enjoy nature in peace, it offers the very best in healing.
