#itineraryshare I have always wanted to visit the oldest shrine in Japan - Izumo Taisha Shrine So I arranged a 5-day trip from Tottori to Izumo. D1.D2 On the first day, we went to White Rabbit Shrine, known as the Holy Land for Lovers. It is a famous shrine that governs marriage. It may also be the shrine with the most rabbits in Japan 😂 There are also cute bus shelters around the shrine, including Hakuto Coast and Hakuto Bridge. The next day we set out for the sand dunes. The sand dunes are very close to the city and can be reached by bus. In addition to riding camels and watching the sea, there are also many cafes and dessert shops nearby. D3 came to the same mountain in Tottori Prefecture Public transportation in the mountains is not that convenient. So I booked a 3HR 5000 yen sightseeing taxi directly at the tourist center. Visited Oka Castle Pond and Ueda Shoji Museum of Art (Actually, there are a lot of attractions in Tottori! Such as Conan Museum, Ashikaga Museum of Art, Sakaiminato, Flower Corridor, etc. You can increase or decrease the number of days according to the number of attractions you want to visit) D4 Matsue, Shimane Prefecture You may be unfamiliar with Songjiang But here is the Lake Shinji sunset and hot springs that are one of the top 100 sunsets There are also many accommodation options here~ You can visit Matsue Castle and Shimane Prefectural Museum of Art If you are lucky, you can also see the perfect sunset at Lake Shinji D5 Izumo Taisha Shrine It takes about an hour to arrive from Songjiang You can definitely play in Izumo all day long! After visiting Izumo Taisha Shrine, you can dine next to it and then go for a walk on Inasa Beach If you are driving by yourself, you can also go to the further Izumo Hi-Osaki Daijingu Shrine. Hinotsusaki Shrine! If you want to visit Sanin, it is recommended to enter and exit from Hiroshima or Osaka as it will be more convenient~ #dopamine travel #松江 #100 kinds of travel #tottori sightseeing #Izumo Taisha #White Rabbit Shrine #tottori sand dunes #Shindo Lake #Sanin area

My journey to Tottori was filled with surprises and wonderful memories. First, we visited the famous Tottori Sand Dunes. Standing on the vast dunes, feeling the sea breeze on my face, the view was absolutely magnificent. The terrain of the dunes is varied, and we experienced sandboarding here, which was thrilling as we rushed down from a height. You can also ride camels on the dunes, making you feel like you're in a foreign desert. At dusk, the sunset painted the dunes in golden hues, making the scenery at that moment unforgettable. Afterward, we visited the Sand Museum. This place showcases sculptures created by various artists using sand as their medium, and each piece is astonishing. The exhibits change annually, covering themes from cultures and histories around the world. The exhibition we saw this time was full of details and ingenuity, with artists demonstrating incredible skill using the soft sand, making it hard to believe that these works are entirely made of sand. In the evening, we were fortunate to attend a fireworks festival. The event was held by the Sea of Japan, with colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky and reflecting beautifully on the sea surface. The lively crowd and atmosphere made the event even more memorable, with each set of fireworks drawing awe and applause from the audience. The grand finale, featuring a waterfall of fireworks, was like a cascade of stars, perfectly concluding the night. This trip to Tottori allowed me to experience the wonderful blend of nature and art, as well as enjoy the unique local festival culture. Whether it was the daytime adventures on the dunes or the romantic fireworks at night, it was all unforgettable. I highly recommend Tottori to travelers who love natural landscapes and cultural activities; it's definitely worth a visit.

Start early in the morning from Kyoto and take the JR line to Tottori. Tottori Sand Dunes, located in the San'in Kaigan Geopark, span 2.4 kilometers north to south and 16 kilometers east to west, making them Japan's largest coastal sand dunes. With over 100,000 years of history, the dunes were formed by powerful ocean currents carrying sediments from the Sea of Japan to the shore. The strong sea winds continuously shape and reshape the dunes, some of which reach heights of up to 50 meters. Sitting on the dunes, facing the sea, and letting the sea breeze caress your face, you can quietly feel the healing power of nature. Tottori Harbor offers beautiful scenery. If you have time, take a stroll along the embankment and enjoy the coastal views. Koyamaike is a lake formed by the accumulation of sediments in a bay, and the adjacent Koyamaike Park is a natural park planted with local vegetation, offering different landscapes throughout the year.

#itineraryshare Recently, an airline has launched flights from Hong Kong to Tottori Yonago ✈️, but there are not many flights. In fact, you don’t have to take a direct flight to Tottori. You can take JR or domestic flights to Tottori from different regions in Japan. This time we departed from Osaka and took the JR Limited Express Super White Rabbit🚝 to reach Tottori in 2 and a half hours. If you are visiting Tottori for the first time and starting from Kansai, you can refer to this itinerary. Day 1: Take the Super White Rabbit from JR Osaka Station to JR Tottori Station → White Rabbit Coast, White Rabbit Shrine → Sand Museum → Tottori Sand Dunes → Hotel Day 2: JR Tottori Station→JR Iwami Station→Uradome Coast→Arasa Shrine→Tagoko Shrine→JR Iwami Station→Hotel Day 3: Shopping near Tottori Station (Aeon, shopping street, etc.) → Take the Super White Rabbit from JR Tottori Station to Kyoto 【Must-see attractions】 1. Hakuto Coast, Hakuto Shrine🐰 Hakuto Coast is one of the most beautiful coasts in Japan. The unique white beach here is very famous. The sand on the beach is very fine, like countless white pearls scattered on the coast. Hakuto Shrine is located next to Hakuto Coast. Climb up the stone steps leading to the shrine to reach the shrine and overlook the beautiful scenery of Hakuto Coast 🤩. 2. Sand Museum, Tottori Sand Dunes🐫 The Sand Art Museum uses sand sculptures as its presentation method and takes "World Travel" as its theme, and regularly produces different themed exhibitions. After leaving the museum, we headed to the nearby Tottori Sand Dunes, which is the largest sand dune terrain in Japan🌵. As soon as you stand on the sand dunes, you will be shocked by the endless desert landscape. The shape and texture of the dunes take on different colors as the sun hits them. When you climb up to the horseback sand dune🏜️, you can overlook the surrounding beautiful scenery. The endless Sea of ​​Japan is in front of you, which is very magnificent. 3. Uradome Coast 🌊 Uradome Coast is the easternmost stretch of coastline in Tottori. The unique natural seawalls, caves and jagged rocks here are formed by sea erosion. Moreover, because the water is extremely clear and the transparency is as deep as 25 meters, it is rated as the highest-grade beach in Japan. View☺️. Taking a sightseeing boat is one of the most convenient and easy ways to enjoy this coast🚤. 【Must-eat food】 1. Murakami Fisheries (near the sand dunes): local seafood 丼🦀 2. Restaurant at Uradome Coast Excursion Boat Boarding Station: Special Blue Uradomi Curry🥘 3. Takahama Cafe (opposite the sand dunes): Tottori pear smoothie🍐 4.

It is recommended that girls wear long skirts and straw hats that contrast with the color of the sand. 📸Take a small expedition boat on the Uradome Coast. A skilled boatman will control the boat and sail into the caves, allowing passengers to have a close look at the strange rocks, wind caves and magnificent sea erosion landscape on the Uradome Coast. 【Tips】 ⭐️This time, I purchased a JR pass for the Sanin-Sanyo area in advance in conjunction with the trip. Even the Super White Rabbit is within the range and can be used after returning to Kyoto. ⭐️You can reserve reserved seats on the White Rabbit. The JR pass also includes reserved seats for a designated number of times, and you can reserve them at the green window in advance. ⭐️In order to promote the tourism industry, Tottori has launched a taxi plan exclusively for foreigners. It only costs 4,000yen to charter a taxi for 3 hours to travel around Tottori. There are many routes to choose from. No reservation is required. Just go to the visitor center next to Tottori Station. Field registration. #日本attractions #tottori #overseas travel #100 ways to travel #foodphotography #foodguide

#Japan must-visit check-in spots The Sand Art Museum has many exhibits. It is the only museum in the world that uses "sand" as the material to present national characteristics, myths and famous attractions. It has a different theme every year. Every time you visit, you can enjoy different sand sculptures. You can appreciate the world's highest level of works, which is breathtaking! The way to get there is very simple. Take the "Sand Dune Line" from the Tottori Station Bus Terminal and get off at "Sand Museum". It's only about 1 minute away. I highly recommend it💯 Sand Museum 2083-17 Yuyama, Fukube-cho, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture

Then Yura came to Tottori, actually only one morning trip😂 The hotel in Tottori did not include breakfast, but you can purchase it at the restaurant below. It seems to be only 1800 yen, which is quite delicious😀 Theme > Super Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3000 yen including taxi for 3 hours of sightseeing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As soon as you exit JR Tottori Station, the sightseeing customer service center is on the right hand side The customer service person has good English, communication is no problem. He will have a recommended itinerary, but the only recommended places to go are White Rabbit Shrine and Tottori Sand Dunes Recommended trip can have additions and subtractions, I did not intend to go to the castle, intending to spend more time in the dunes, however the customer service may not have explained to the driver clearly, all the way the trip is very rushed, finally boarded the car to know that he important to take me to the castle. . . If there are changes to the itinerary, remember to confirm again with the driver. You can also first go to the White Rabbit Shrine > Dune Museum > and finally end the trip in the dunes too, so you can be much more free and easier to get back to the JR station in the dunes. However, taxi drivers may not know English and are always ready to translate into Japanese text for conversation. The dunes are beautiful, and if you have time, it is recommended to stay for an hour, walk out to the sea and take pictures, and then you can take a cable car up a small hill for dinner. I do not know how to appreciate the sand art, but a game comes, can see It will have a different theme every time. White Rabbit Shrine 20 minutes by car, 15 minutes watching😂 Very small a shrine, however everything is the rabbits are cute and can be a visit. #Tottori #KansaiTravel #Tottori Dunes #Kansai Free Trip

Speaking of Tottori Prefecture!!! I went to Tottori Sand Dunes✨ At the beginning there were stairs, but since it was summer, I was exhausted and sweaty just from climbing the stairs💦 The sand was smooth and there were camels, so it was a very pleasant place.

--- ### **Part 1｜ Sugar Desert x Snow Sea! Love comic scene blown by the cold wind in Siberia 💘** (Debuts as a Japanese drama runner) Ding Dong ~ Trip friends! This "Tottori Sand Dune", which was crazy about my local friends while studying in Japan, was finally unlocked by me last winter! To be honest, what was the original thought to see in the desert? As soon as the results arrived——**Help! This is a velvet canvas sprinkled with sugar and snow powder! ! **🌨️ The sand dunes that are usually yellow sand. Once winter comes, the cold wind blowing from Siberia "crack" covered with white snow, but also paired with the Japanese sea blue at the end of the white desert like a Tiffany box! 🌊 (Crazy Photography Mode) Have you tried standing on top of the desert and looking at the snowy view of the sea horizon? That feeling of "the world only has the sound of wind and the sound of one's own heartbeat" is so romantic that I want to call my mother immediately and say, "I got it! However, a warm reminder: **The wind guy is really cranky! ** I endured the "bangs that were torn by the wind" and "the nose was red from the cold", and I had to perform the gymnastics of "walking two steps and slipping one step" on the snowy sand dunes... (I really felt like I was the heroine of a Japanese drama when I fell to eat snow... right) --- ### **Part 2|Snowstorm Survival Guide: Windproof Goggles + Hold Your Teammate = Life-saving Combo! 👯‍♀️** (serious face) Sisters! If you are as greedy as me and want to take pictures safely, **three magic tricks** are indispensable: 1️⃣ **Windproof sunglasses**: Not pretending to be cool! The sand and snow hit the face hurt more than being fing gravel, and will be crazy runny eyes get to take pictures of similar crying bags 2️⃣ **Catch your fellow pig teammates**: Don't count on your balance! I tried to rush down the slope by myself, and as a result performed "human flesh snowball rolling", fortunately, I usually do some exercise, using the muscles of my thighs 3️⃣ **Grip MAX Sneakers**: Never wear boots! There is a loose sand layer hidden under the snow in the sand dunes. Walking two steps and taking half a step back is worse than going to the gym. Wearing ordinary sneakers may become a "backward walking champion" If you come here with nice shoes, you might turn into a yellow white rice fish --- ### **Part 3｜Geography Classroom: Tottori Sand Dunes are actually so close that it scares you! 🚃** Think the desert is mountainous? **3 hours direct from Osaka! ** (Push Glasses) Guide here: 📍**Location**: Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture, Japan's largest coastal sand dune, 16km long and 2.4km wide, bigger than half of Causeway Bay! 🚌**Transportation**: - **Departure from Osaka**: JR Tetsuya "Super White Rabbit" → Tottori Station (about 2.5 hours) → Transfer to bus "Dune Line" for 20 minutes direct access - **Miko Departure**: JR Sanin Main Line → Tottori Station (1 hour) → Same bus 💡**Hidden gameplay**: Take the "Sand Dune Tour Bus" and play the Art Museum of Sand (different sand sculpture themes every year are super shocking!), remember to buy the "Sand Dune Package" cheaper than buying separately ~ --- ### **Part 4｜A must-mark for family travel! A one-day trip to enjoy the snow and sand dunes 🧳** (Family mode activated) What is the most comfortable way to play with elders and children? Follow my “lazy schedule”! 🕘**09:30** Coffee hot drink at the entrance of the sand dunes (mom doesn't have to be afraid of cold!) 🕙 **10:00** Take the cable car up to the observation deck → Crazy "Family Photo Snow Movie" 🕛**12:00** Super lots of food at the entrance, beef ramen sushi, everything you can imagine” (Tottori specialty! Warm savior) 🕑**14:00** Walk to the shopping street to shop a lot of Dune limited products, and sand dune coffee to give to colleagues first-class, give two cups of coffee to colleagues so that they OT more 🕓**16:00** Stroll by the sea and wait for the sunset → Watch the white snow dyed pink Magic Hour ~ **Warm reminder**: - Parents pushing strollers suggest playing at the entrance of the sand dunes, the top will really break your hands 😅 Young children climb to the top of the mountain, the scenery is really beautiful - Bring your own heating pack to stick to your feet!

Tottori Coastal Sand Dunes, which can be reached in an hour and a half by direct flight from Seoul, or an additional two hours by express train. It is a desert formed by sand deposited next to the sea. The expansive scenery is beautiful in itself, but you can take even better pictures if you go at sunset🐪🌵 Your feet sink deep into the sand, so it's a bit difficult to get up, but the view of the ocean horizon from the top of the sand dune is also beautiful🌅 If you want to see unique scenery nearby, going to Tottori might be a good option. #MarchTravelSupportEvent #TottoriSandDunes #Tottori

"I... can I survive in this town?" The other name for Yura Station in Tottori is Conan Station! As soon as you get off the station, this town filled with Conan characters is Conan Town, created in Tottori, the hometown of Detective Conan author Gosho Aoyama! Once you get out of the station, don't forget to get a stamp at the tourist information center facing the Conan statue~ If you follow the Conan statues placed all over the street from the station, you will come across Shinichi (Nam Do-il)'s house, which is called Beika Shopping Street. If you press the doorbell of Shinichi's house, the voices of the main characters will answer one by one. There is a souvenir shop and an actual restaurant modeled after the Poirot restaurant on the first floor of the Mori Detective Agency, so you can have a meal. The fun part is that if you enter the Poirot restaurant entrance, you will be connected to the inside of Shinichi's mansion that you saw at first..! If you walk a little further, you will come across the Gosho Aoyama Memorial Hall. This two-story building features original drawings of Detective Conan comics, various experiences, and informative exhibits. By the way, even the public restroom signs in this town are made of silhouettes of the male and female protagonists. The town itself is a very quiet rural town where locals live, but these elements are very faithful to the concept, so for people like me who grew up watching it at a similar age to Conan and have grown up to be closer to the age of the famous detective, it was such an exciting place. (I collected up to volume 80 of Detective Conan when I was a student, but it’s been on hiatus for a long time now, right?) It took half a day to tour the town and the exhibition hall. Fortunately, there was no culprit of the black silhouette in Conan Town, and I was able to return safely~ You can get to Yura Station from Yonago Airport, which is an hour and a half from Seoul, and transfer to Yonago Station, and arrive there in less than an hour, depending on the type of train! #March travel support event #Tottori #Detective Conan #Conan Village
