Kiri-gamine can be called a plateau resort, which can be accessed by car in about 4 hours from the city of Tokyo. The name comes after the deep fog that covers the area very often. When the fog clears up, flower fields of Nikko-kisuge may suddenly come into sight. A fantastic view can be enjoyed. Kiri-gamine is also known as the birthplace of gliders in Japan. It is one of the most beautiful plateaus along the Venous line.
