The Sand Museum in Tottori Sand Dunes is the only indoor museum exhibited sand sculpture specially. We exhibit the highest quality sand sculptures every year by the executive producer and the professional sculptor from all over the world.
This was definitely something new for me! Right next to the sand dunes, this museum puts up a new display every year. We were lucky enough to see the 2019 one, right after it opened. The sculptures are incredible. Just thinking about carving in sand, sent shivers of anxiety up and down my back. They have explanations, and the final product was mind blowing. Even more amazing (to the US mind), was the lack of barriers around the sand. I thought it was a mistake, but my guide said no. Japanese don't touch. There was a little sadness there, for me. As the Japanese welcome so many tourists, things are going to change. I found the Japanese like to have some things untouchable and unknowable - while my upbringing made me really want to touch one of those sculptures! (I didn't, of course.) The sculptures themselves are planned and done by an international team, which was also pretty cool.

The Watanabe Art Museum is a registered museum in Tottori Prefecture, Tottori Prefecture. Operated by the Watanabe Art Museum. It was established in 1978 for the purpose of storing and releasing the 30,000 artworks collected by doctors and yuan Yuan, and was incorporated in 1987.
The best museum for Samurai's culture maybe. Here are lots ancient armours and weapon. The quantity of the armours and weapon may be the top of Japanese museum. You can also try to wear the helmet and take photos for free. The stuff is very kind and helpful. Worth visiting!

The ruins are alright. There is not much information regarding what was once there. The park is pretty though. And there is a nice hike to the top of the hill with great 360 degree views. There was also an old abandoned schoolroom at the top.

Hakuto Shrine was the setting of the myth of the White Rabbit of Inaba, mentioned in Japan’s traditional creation myth, the Kojiki. Legend holds that the powers of the shrine offered relief from burns and other skin conditions. Mitarashi Pond Along the roadside of the grounds is the Mitarashi Pond, where the White Rabbit of Inaba was said to have washed his wounds and taken healing. The waters remain level, never swelling or declining, throughout the year. Myth of the White Rabbit of Inaba In what is considered Japan’s first love story, the White Rabbit was the matchmaker for King Ookuni and Princess Hachigami. In more recent times, fittingly as this story’s birthplace, Hakuto was designated as ‘the holy ground for lovers’ in 2010.

When we visited the area was covered by snow. Such an amazingly beautiful view we could never imagine. Surely its a must to visit in winter. I believe this place has its unique beauty in each seasons. If possible I want to visit again in other seasons too????

We have freshly picked seafood freshly picked up from Tottori / Karou Port, and there is also a market for souvenirs and souvenir shops, and it can be said that it is a kitchen in Tottori City. In the fresh fish shop, regional shipping of fresh fish selected on the spot is also possible. At the market, various events such as "White or Big Fishing Festival" and "Matsuba Festival" are held. In the adjacent restaurant building, you can enjoy fresh seafood. Ikuushi cuisine "kaiyoen" is the first restaurant in western Japan to have a direct seawater dish installed, and it is recommended to have a lively white dish in the form of dishes.
We stopped at the fish market to had lunch. I ordered crab dune it was a very delicious and reasonable price. There was also a shopping hall nearby where all kinds of products were being sold and next to it, there is a fish and crab market.
