The majestic beauty of autumn leaves at Kimendai in Maniwa city, #Okayama prefecture. 🍂🍁

Hiruzen-Daisen Skyline or also known as the Kimendai Observatory Rest Spot is located in Maniwa City. From what I've been informed this special place is reachable via a pleasant drive in nature from Hiruzen-kogen Heights in Okayama Prefecture to Daisen in Tottori Prefecture.

The observatory deck offers visitors a full 360 degree scenic view of both Mount Hiruzen and Mount Daisen. 

During autumn season, you can enjoy the beautiful colors of the distant mountains. Furthermore, due to the huge temperature differences, clouds are born in lower attitude. Amazing isn't it! ☁

It is considered as a very popular photography spot to catch the city area engulfed in a sea of pretty clouds and the rising sun on Mount Daisen. ☀ 

I cannot recommend it highly enough as the autumn colors here are extremely beautiful indeed. Seeing is believing! 💞🍂🍂🍂
