There are 5 stations along the San-in Line in Daisen; Daisenguchi Station, Nawa Station, Mikuriya Station, Shimoichi Station, and Nakayamaguchi Station. All of the stations however are located along the coast, so they do not provide access to Mount Daisen, the town's major draw.
For public access to Mount Daisen, buses depart from Yonago Station. In ski season, there are also direct buses from major regional cities like Okayama.
