Kanemochi Shrine in Tottori Prefecture. As the name suggests, people who want to become rich come from all over the country to pray for wealth. In particular, many people pray to win the lottery, and there are many votive plaques that say, "Thanks to you, I won a big prize! Thank you very much!" There are so many items for increasing your luck with money that it may be hard to choose... Address: 1490 Kanemochi, Hino-cho, Hino-gun, Tottori Prefecture

I was moved to see the art created by the best sand sculpture artists from all over the world! Chaen Katsuhiko, who leads the global team, is amazing and cool! The skills of the artists who pay attention to every corner and detail of the sand sculptures are amazing! It's great that they set a different theme every year and change the exhibits. It makes both locals and tourists want to come back! Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sand dunes because of the heavy snowfall, but it was good because we could see the beautiful art! #outfitoftheday #instalike #interiordesign #pictuyreoftheday #likesforlike #memesdaily #quotestoloiveb#likesforlike #memesdaily #quotestoloiveby #sea #overseas trip #Tottori Prefecture #tottori #tottoritrip #totorialmakeup #sea

Address: 1490 Kanemochi, Hino-cho, Hino-gun, Tottori 689-4512 Opening hours: 10:00-16:00 I was passing through Tottori on a weekend trip, so I stopped by Kanemochi Shrine. It is a shrine with a self-proclaimed name that is the most auspicious in Japan. I made a wish on a votive tablet to become rich, and bought a charm. After that, I went to a nearby lottery booth and bought a Halloween Jumbo. Surely this will make me rich too⁉︎ #Prayer #Tottori #KanemochiShrine #CoupleTrip

[Japan, Tottori] ❄️ This fragrant crab bowl is definitely one of the reasons I would visit Tottori again! 😍 Tottori boasts the highest crab catch volume in Japan, earning it the nickname "Crab Heaven" 🦀. Eating crab in Tottori is not only affordable but also incredibly fresh and delicious 🫶🏻. I highly recommend the seasonal crab bowl (12,000 yen) at "Ajigoyomi Anbe" (Anbe). Each bowl is made with 8-10 crabs 🤩. It features shredded crab meat, crab roe, miso-marinated crab innards, crab ovaries, mature crab roe, and more, offering a rich texture and intense freshness. Every bite is bursting with flavor! The ingredients outweigh the rice, and you won’t feel like you’re missing out even after finishing the bowl 😇. Plus, you can enjoy unlimited free refills of crab soup, which is packed with crab meat and has a strong crab flavor 🥹. Just thinking about it makes me miss the taste so much! 😍 I also tried the Matsuba crab sashimi and grilled crab legs, which were decent but not as surprising 😄. Restaurant Name: Ajigoyomi Anbe Opening Hours: 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Tottori Sand Dune Day Time to check out Japan’s very own sand dune! Since Tottori is right next to Okayama, I thought the trip would be a breeze… but nope — nearly 3 hours by train! Still, the ride was scenic and worth it. Tottori Station was decked out with cute Pokémon-themed decorations, especially Sandshrew — totally in theme with the desert vibes. From the station, I had to take a bus to reach the sand dunes. Surprise: IC cards weren’t accepted — cash only! I totally panicked because I always rely on my IC card. The bus driver had to help count the coins in my hand and drop them in for me — so sweet, but also a bit chaotic. On the way back, I was literally waiting for the bus outside some random house, wondering if I’d ever make it back! The sand dune itself was stunning, but that sun was no joke. Even with the chilly wind, the sun was blazing. I only climbed up a bit — just enough to get the vibe. Highlight of the day? The actual pear ice cream. Insanely good. I wanted, like, three more. Oh, and the seafood at the food court? Super fresh — no surprise, since we’re right by the coast. Overall: A little adventure, a little chaos, and a lot of fun. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytours

Overlooking Miho Bay and Shimane Peninsula from the Daisen triangulation point in Tottori, Japan! Then, look back from the Miho-Seki Lighthouse, the easternmost point of the Shimane Peninsula, and admire Mt. Tottori from the perspective of the sea! It’s really beautiful! The day before, I watched the sea on the mountain, and the next day, I watched the mountains and the sea on the opposite Shimane Peninsula. When climbing Mt. Tottori, I also recommend visiting the Shimane Peninsula, Miho Shrine, Aoishi-do Street, and Mihonoseki Lighthouse. The Fukuura area along the way is very similar to Ine Funaya!

I visited a shop called 'nee-mart' located in Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture. 📍 409 Kawaramachi, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture, Fureai Yokocho This store offers takeout options for deli items, bento boxes, and baked goods. The interior has a stylish atmosphere, and they sell a variety of items such as scones, cookies, bread, and various deli dishes. During their time sale, bento boxes and deli items were 50% off! There's also a café called 'cafe-nee' at the same location, where you can enjoy desserts and lunch!

#cherryblossom25 Tottori’s Wakarai Railway offers a rare and enchanting experience, where cherry blossoms, railroads, and trains come together in perfect harmony. Mid-April is the prime time to visit, when the sakura are in full bloom. The gentle spring breeze brings a beautiful sakura petal shower, creating a stunning scene of nature's beauty. It’s a perfect spot for anyone looking to capture the magic of spring! 🌸🍃 #travel

A flower-themed park located at the foot of Mount Daisen. The meticulously maintained flowers are breathtakingly beautiful. Walking along the elevated wooden deck-style corridor that circles the park offers stunning views. The highlight is the flower field with Mount Daisen as its backdrop. You can enjoy seasonal flowers to the fullest, making you want to visit during different times of the year. There is also a sightseeing train that goes around the park for just 400 yen, allowing even those with mobility issues to enjoy the flowers. The park features dome-shaped greenhouses in all directions, including an orchid dome showcasing numerous Phalaenopsis orchids, giving you a sense of elegance. Since Tottori is famous for its 20th-century pears, the pear-flavored soft serve ice cream was delicious. There are also shops selling flower seedlings and various types of flowers.

A happy trip. The journey to the accommodation is convenient. I will come back to use the service again.

This high-altitude cafe located next to the Tottori Sand Dunes was designed by the famous architect Kengo Kuma! Built with the concept of "stairs to the sky", the entire building itself is a work of art🎨✨ 🪜 The exterior design is like a huge staircase extending to the sky, it is extremely spectacular! The top floor is an open-air observation deck, where you can overlook the entire Tottori Sand Dunes and the glittering Sea of ​​Japan🌊 Drinking coffee while enjoying the sea breeze☕, can life be so comfortable? ? ? 📸 No matter how you take pictures here, it’s beyond the movie! ✅ Pure white building x endless sand dunes x vast sea view ✅ IG/FB popular check-in spot💯 ✅ A must-visit destination for architecture fans, coffee lovers, and literary youths 🗺️ Location: Yuyama 2164-657, Fukube-cho, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture (next to the Tottori Sand Dunes) 🕒 Business hours: 10:00-17:00 (may vary slightly depending on the season) This place is so beautiful that it seems like an illusion. It is worth going there even if you make a special trip! If you go to Tottori, don't miss this cafe on the sky stairs💖 📌Tips: It is recommended to depart from Osaka in the morning. It is just right to spend a day in Tottori. After taking photos, have a cup of coffee and look at the sand dunes. It’s no problem to go back to Osaka at night~ It only takes half a day from our B&B to escape from the city and enter the dreamy dune world🌾 Have a cup of sea breeze coffee at Kengo Kuma Café☕ and take a Japanese-style relaxing trip~ 🚆 Recommended transportation method: Take the limited express train "スーパーはくと" 👉 Departure station: Osaka Station or Shin-Osaka Station 👉 Travel time: about 2 hours and 30 minutes 👉 Final stop: Tottori Station 🚌 After arriving at Tottori Station, you can take a bus or taxi to Tottori Sand Dunes for about 20 minutes 📍 The cafe is located next to the sand dunes, very easy to find! 🛻 Chartering a car is more convenient and suitable for taking photos📸 👉 The journey takes about 3 hours, and the scenery along the way is super healing, so it can be arranged as a one-day trip! 👉 You can visit popular attractions in Tottori such as "Hakuto Shrine" or "Uradome Coast"～

Cycling from Fukuoka to Osaka along the northern coast of the Chūgoku region is an unforgettable adventure that blends the beauty of Japan’s seaside with the thrill of the open road. This roughly 700-kilometer journey winds through quiet fishing villages, scenic cliffs, and historic towns, offering a uniquely immersive experience far from the typical tourist trail. Starting in Fukuoka, you’re met with vibrant city energy and great local eats — a perfect send-off. As you head east, the coastal breeze accompanies you along the Sea of Japan, with routes often flanked by pine forests, rice paddies, and dramatic ocean views. The ride is peaceful, with long stretches of road where it's just you, your bike, and the sound of waves. One of the best parts of this ride is the changing scenery. You pass through small towns like Hagi, with its preserved samurai district, and Matsue, a charming castle town by a lake. In between, you’ll find cozy ryokan, hot springs tucked into hillsides, and quiet beaches perfect for a midday break. The slower pace lets you soak in local culture — from chatting with shopkeepers to catching a small festival or market along the way. While there are many climbs, especially through Shimane and Tottori’s more rugged areas, the effort is rewarded with thrilling descents and sweeping views. You’ll share roads with minimal traffic for most of the ride, and there’s a sense of freedom that comes from being so connected to the land. As you roll into the Osaka area, the contrast hits — from rural solitude to buzzing urban life. It’s a satisfying, almost surreal shift that caps the journey perfectly. For any cyclist who loves a good mix of nature, culture, and a bit of challenge, this route is pure joy — a coastal odyssey across Japan's lesser-seen heart.

Near Tottori Station, there are many great places to eat. One evening, we visited this izakaya called 'San'in Seafood Robata Kaba.' Despite it being a weekday, the place was packed, which shows how popular it is. Luckily, we had made a reservation in advance 😎 The izakaya mainly offers private rooms, and it's non-smoking, so people under 20 can enter. The high level of privacy makes it perfect for gatherings and conversations 💬 The food quality at this izakaya is excellent. You can enjoy various seafood from the San'in region, such as fish, shrimp, oysters, and crabs from Sakaiminato. Highly recommended is their signature dish—charcoal-grilled chicken, which is full of charcoal aroma and tastes amazing 😛😋😋 Tottori Prefecture is also famous for its sake, and you can try various kinds of sake from the San'in region here. Don't miss out 😌😌 Affordable Seafood Robata Kaba 📍Address: 608 Sakaemachi, Tottori, 680-0831 Japan

It takes 1.5 hours by direct flight from Seoul to Yonago, and if you go there, you can travel to Tottori City next door. I will introduce the places I visited for 2 nights and 3 days! 1️⃣Conan Village (Yura Station) This is Conan Village, created in Tottori, the hometown of Detective Conan's original author, Gosho Aoyama! Conan-related statues, manholes, memorial halls, shops, etc. are endlessly spread throughout the village where people actually live. A world of childlike innocence recommended to everyone who grew up with Conan since childhood! 2️⃣Misasa Onsen Misasa Onsen Village is located near Kurayoshi Station, a little further from Yura Station. There are old, cozy ryokans and shopping streets along the river. The prices of the ryokans are good, and most of them serve local crab cuisine as kaiseki. 🦀 + Shirakabe Dojo: I didn't have time to go, but the Shirakabe Dojo group, which is 20 minutes away, is a popular tourist attraction where old sake breweries are gathered! 3️⃣Tottori Sand Dunes The high, wide desert that you would only see if you went to Morocco is spread out on the coast. They're called sand dunes! It's even prettier if you go around 5 o'clock when the sun sets. You can also ride the cable car, but the operating hours are short, so you have to check carefully. There's also a sand museum, but the theme changes every year, and it's closed from January to March to prepare for the next theme. 4️⃣Mizuki Shigeru Road (Sakaiminato Station) This is a road commemorating the original creator of GeGeGe no Kitaro, Mizuki Shigeru. It's a Japanese national yokai manga that has been serialized and animated since the 1960s, and its influence is said to be enormous. Even people who don't know can enjoy the bizarrely decorated town streets. There's also a nice hot spring hotel in front of the station. 5️⃣Chiyomusubi (Sakaiminato Station) This is a sake brewery with 150 years of history located at the beginning of Mizuki Shigeru Road. You can tour it, and they sell delicious sake that's good for beginners, and they also run a sake bar. If you go, try "Sorah" that I enjoyed so much! 6️⃣If you go on a walking trip to Yonago & Tottori, you'll often take the train. Buy an ekiben at the station and eat it while sitting in the front seat of the train. The shimesaba bento, one of the local foods, was pretty good. #Yonago #Tottori #JapanTravel #AustraliaFlightEvent
