From the top of the Tottori Sand Dunes, looking out over that endless golden sea of sand stretching straight to the deep blue Sea of Japan, the sense of vast open space is incredible. If you get the chance, you should definitely come here and try riding a camel for a totally different experience.

Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport

Located Approx. 7 km northwest of central Tottori City in a sand dune area facing the Sea of Japan, this airport serves as the northeastern Chugoku region’s gateway to the skies. ANA operates scheduled flights to and from Haneda Airport, providing convenient access to and from Tokyo. Since 2015, it has been affectionately known as Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport, inspired by the fact that Gosho Aoyama, creator of the popular manga Detective Conan, is from Tottori Prefecture.

Sugar Butter Sand Tree "Amaou Strawberry Butter"

A Hakata-exclusive flavor created by Sugar Butter Tree, a Tokyo-born confectionery brand popular across Japan. Made with a special strawberry butter using 100% juice from Fukuoka’s famed Amaou strawberries, the dough is baked to juicy perfection. It starts with a crisp, toasty bite, then gently unfolds with the elegant sweet-tart flavor of strawberry for a truly special treat.

Kotohiragu Shrine — I finally made it up all 785 steps! Halfway up, I really wanted to turn back, but I’m glad I kept going.
It was honestly a bit tiring the whole way up, but the moment I arrived, it felt so worth it.
I bought a golden omamori, and it felt full of blessings and strength.

*Naoshima New Museum of Art · Designed by Tadao Ando*
The lines of the exposed concrete and the natural lighting are absolutely breathtaking.
The works inside are diverse, and each one feels like stepping into a different story.
On top of that, you can grab a meal at the museum restaurant while visiting. As long as the museum is open, the restaurant is open too, which is super convenient. (It doesn’t close randomly.)

Ritsurin Garden

Used as a villa by the Matsudaira clan of Takamatsu, Ritsurin Garden was completed nearly 300 years ago by successive generations of feudal lords who renovated it. While the sprawling strolling garden covers 16 hectares, the total area of this park, including Mount Shiun in the background, extends to an impressive 75 hectares!

A wonderful garden. If you have time, you can book a kimono experience at the Kacho-tei inside the garden, with everything included from the outfit to hair and makeup. Walking through the Japanese garden in a kimono feels completely natural and full of Japanese charm.

This old castle, built by the sea, is one of Japan’s rare water castles. The moat is filled with seawater from the Seto Inland Sea, and the beautifully maintained garden inside makes you want to slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a stroll.
