From Kurumayama to Washigamine, the Kirigamine Plateau continues with gentle undulations.
Seasonal alpine plants such as Astragalus azalea, Nikko kisuge, and Matsumushiso dye the green meadow in various colors. Mt. Fuji, the Alps, the Yatsugatake mountain range, and other famous peaks that Japan are proud of are also overlooked.
Kirigamine Plateau is also known as the birthplace of Japan gliders because of its abundant updrafts in the area, making it suitable for glider flight.
