[2025 Tottori Attraction] Travel Guide for Tottori Sand Dunes (Updated Apr)

#2月好地方2025 One of the most unique attractions in Tottori Prefecture is the Tottori Sand Dunes. The 16-kilometer coastline is covered with yellow sand and is quite magnificent. Unlike ordinary beaches, the Tottori Sand Dunes have height differences. The largest sand dune, the "Horse's Back", has a height difference of 90 meters. It feels like walking on desert dunes, and you can also overlook the Sea of ​​Japan. The sand dunes are vast and it would be very tiring to walk through them all. You might want to take a cable car to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view, or take a camel ride. Even sandboarding is quite fun. There is a "Sand Museum" in the Tottori Sand Dunes, where you can see sand sculptures; there is also a cafe built by Kumaiwa next to the parking lot, which is also a very popular attraction. #Tottori Sand Dunes

#2月好地方2025 The new landmark of the Tottori Sand Dunes, "Takahama Café", was designed by Master Kengo Kuma. It incorporates the concept of sand dunes and is composed of the wood and glass elements that he is good at. The unique appearance has attracted many people to make a pilgrimage here to check in. The cafe has three floors, with an ordering area on the first floor, indoor seats on the second floor, and outdoor seats on the third floor. You can overlook the sand dunes. The interior space is spacious and comfortable. Although there are many people, it is relatively quiet compared to the shopping street next to it, making it a great place to order a cup of coffee and take a break. In addition to coffee and tea, the store also sells hamburgers, light meals and desserts. They even have Tottori Wagyu burgers, which taste pretty good. Even the drinks are very creative. It is not just an internet-famous store with a beautiful appearance, it is well worth a visit. #Tottori Sand Dunes #Kengo Kuma #Takahama Café

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.

1st photo: Tottori Sand Dunes I was really looking forward to it, but the weather was so bad that it was so hard and I had such a hard time. I'm sure it would be a spectacular view on a nice day. At this time, I wasn't just standing there, but fighting the rain and wind. 2nd-3rd photo: Takahama Cafe A cafe designed by Kengo Kuma that opened next to the sand dunes in August last year. There were a lot of people so I didn't take any photos, but the counter on the first floor was stylish. I had bread and coffee, and warmed up my body that had cooled down in the sand dunes. 4th-5th photo: Jinpukakaku A Western-style building designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. This place is also known as the filming location for Rurouni Kenshin, and the Japanese garden was also beautiful. When you look at this spot on Instagram, you can see that there are tables and chairs on the second floor balcony with many people sitting there, but they are no longer there, so be careful. *January 2023 6th-8th photo: Kasuitei An inn in Yonago Kaike Onsen. This time, we enjoyed a gourmet-themed meal. There were two large public baths and a sauna. You could see the Sea of ​​Japan from the room, so the view was great. 9th photo: Ramen Goku When you think of Yonago, you think of beef bone ramen, and it's apparently one of the most competitive ramen areas in the country! What I thought was great was that there's something called the "Yonago Beef Bone Ramen Alliance," and instead of competing with others, they're working together to establish the beef bone ramen brand here in Tottori Prefecture! When I looked at the website, there were a lot of restaurants, so it was easy to find them. The restaurant I chose from there is a popular one, just as the reviews said! It was written that beef bone ramen is a little bland, but it was a delicious ramen with a strong flavor. 10th photo: Chinese Garden Enchoen This is one of the largest authentic Chinese gardens in Japan, recreating the Chinese gardens that successive emperors built and enjoyed. It's a great spot for taking photos. #Domestic travel #Tottori #Trip to Tottori #Tottori Sand Dunes #Tottori sightseeing #Tottori cafe #Tottori gourmet

Speaking of Tottori, it's the sand dunes 🏜️ If you walk to Umanose, you can see the Sea of ​​Japan 🌊 Your feet get stuck in the sand and it's hard to go as far as you want, but it's a spot with a great view ✨ There were also several restaurants near the sand dunes 🍽️ Pudding specialty store Totto PURIN Sand pudding 🍮 Takahama Cafe (designed by Kengo Kuma) Shrimp and salmon tartare hotdog and coffee ☕️ Nijisseiki pear soft serve ice cream (mini) And more...

#TottoriSandDunes Visited on December 14th. I took a bus from Tottori Station to the Tottori Sand Dunes. The second largest sand dunes in Japan had rained the day before, but when I visited, they were so beautiful that I couldn't even feel the rain. You can also ride camels on the dunes and take photos, so I'd like to try that next time I visit.

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. When I went further in, there was the sea and the wind, and the best view spread out before me♪♪ If you visit Tottori Prefecture, please stop by👍 #Amazing view #Tottori Prefecture #Tottori Sand Dunes

The most representative of Tottori must be its sand dunes🛕 Before going down to the sand dunes it actually had an art gallery🎨 Every year we use sand to create a different theme😎 Each work is very realistic😚 It's amazing to take pictures📸️ It requires an entrance ticket 🎫 but the price is not high Personally, I think it's worth watching And because of the rural place so there are really not many tourists ❤️ So it is absolutely not difficult to take pictures of no one 😳😬 #JapanTravel #OverseasTravel #I miss #parent-child destination #2021 exhibition #summer destination

This was my first time in Tottori. I enjoyed crab the day after the crab season was lifted! Please try the Mosa shrimp that you can only get in Tottori ☺️ It was the sweetest shrimp I've ever eaten....

Near the Tottori Sand Dunes, there is a shop with a long queue, and almost every tourist who comes here will try it! It is the popular pudding shop "プリン専店 Totto PURIN", which is recommended by many Japanese magazines! 🤗Totto PURIN sells more than 10 flavors of pudding, among which "Sand Pudding" is the most popular. Sand is included with the pudding. Sugar powder and cookie crumbs are used to create the appearance and taste of sand. Pour it on the vanilla egg pudding before eating. It has a full taste and the pudding is very smooth. You can see the vanilla seeds. The ingredients are very sincere🤗 プリン専店Totto PURIN Address: 2164-657 Yuyama, Fukube-cho, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture, Japan #MarchGoodPlaces2025

I took Greater Bay Area Airlines and arrived at Yonago Airport in the afternoon. After getting the rental car, I went to Gegege no Kitaro Street for some shopping. However, it might be winter, as soon as the sun sets at around 5 o'clock, the shops start to close. Basically, all shops are closed after 6 o'clock. We stayed at Kaike Onsen Hotel on the first night. Dinner was a buffet, which was delicious. On the second day, I went to the Dashan Ski Resort. As a novice, I had been watching YouTube videos teaching how to snowboard. I also had experience in skateboarding, so I got the hang of it the first time. Although I fell several times, the snow at the ski resort is not hard and it doesn’t hurt much if I fall. On the second night, we stayed at the Hotel. This meal was a kaiseki meal, using local ingredients and also half a snow crab. Overall, it was 10 points for high quality 🩷 On the third day, we went to the 20th Century Pear Museum and the Hakuto Shrine, and finally to the Tottori Sand Dunes. Unfortunately, it rained that day, or more accurately, it was hail. Plus, the wind blew at the seaside, and the hailstones hit my face and it was very painful.. We stayed for a while and then left. On the third night, we stayed in a business hotel in downtown Tottori. The room was quite small. In the evening, I went to the yakiniku restaurant in Tottori City. The Tottori Wagyu beef was of very high quality. On the fourth day, we finally saw the sun and immediately headed to the Tottori Sand Dunes. The weather was sunny and bright this time, and it was beautiful to take pictures. Then we will go to the White Walled Storehouses in Kurayoshi City, which is also known as the Little Kyoto of Tottori. There are many specialty coffee shops and tea shops in the small alleys, which are full of literary and artistic feeling. I originally wanted to go to Daisen Milk, but since the road there was rough in winter, I went to Daisen Milk House (Kotoura Town, Tohaku County) on the seaside instead and bought some souvenirs. Then continue to Matsue City to see the National Treasure Matsue Castle. One of the twelve existing castle towers in Matsue Castle. Due to the implementation of the castle abolition order in the Meiji era, all buildings except the castle tower in Matsue Castle were demolished. Fortunately, the landlord Katsube Motoemon of Izumo County and former samurai Takagi Gonpachi paid 180 yen to the government to buy back the castle tower, so that the castle tower could be preserved. Finally, we went to the Shimane Prefectural Museum of Art to watch the sunset over Lake Akujima, and then checked into the Tamatsukuri Onsen Ryokan to end this long day. On the fifth day, we headed to Izumo, passed by the former Taisha Station, and took photos with the old locomotive. Then go to Izumo Taisha Shrine to pay homage and walk to Goen Yokocho. Finally, head to Inasa Beach and Hinomisaki Shrine, and walk along the trail at the lighthouse. We stayed at a hot spring hotel near Izumo Taisha Shrine at night. There was also a rich buffet that night😋😋😋 On the sixth day, we returned to Yonago Airport along the road above Acupuncture Lake. Along the way, we passed a relatively secluded , which has an architectural style somewhat similar to the white-walled storehouses and also revitalizes old buildings. There is a shop selling soy sauce and Japanese sake, and the aroma of sweet soy sauce can be smelled from afar. Remember to come and see it if you pass by, it’s a very good place to check in. Finally, we went to Sakaiminato Seafood Market for lunch and returned to Yonago Airport to return the car.

#Spring0yentrip When I visited the Tottori Sand Dunes, I was taken aback by the vast scenery. This place makes you feel as if you are in a desert overseas, even though you are in Japan. It is truly an extraordinary world. The fine sand spreads under your feet and is smooth, making you want to walk barefoot. When you walk through the sand dunes, the ups and downs are surprisingly intense, giving you a feeling of adventure. In particular, the view from the top of the high hill called "Umanose" is spectacular, and the contrast between the Sea of ​​Japan and the sand was very beautiful. On windy days, the patterns in the sand change, and I was impressed by the art created by nature. In addition, there are activities such as camel riding and paragliding around the sand dunes, making it a spot that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The Tottori Sand Dunes, which change their appearance depending on the season and time of day, are a place where you can get fresh impressions no matter how many times you visit. #TottoriSandDunes #BreathtakingViewsOfJapan #PowerOfNature #SandDuneWalk #ExtraordinaryExperience

Tottori Landmark ~ Tottori Sand Dunes 🤩 Tottori Sand Dunes is part of the San'in Coast Geopark. It is the only sand dune in Japan. It is very large and extensive. At first glance, the Tottori Sand Dunes look a bit like a desert, but unlike the desert, the sand dunes are formed by wind-blown mud and sand piled up into a hill-shaped terrain, so it still rains in the area, and the end is also connected to the Sea of ​​Japan, forming a strange sight of sea on one side and sand on the other side, which is very spectacular. As time goes by, the landscape of Tottori Sand Dunes will continue to change. Different wind directions will form different sand patterns, so if you visit at different times of the day, you will see different landscapes, which is very interesting. #MarchGoodPlaces2025
