Even though Tottori Castle itself is long gone, you can still see some of the stone walls and foundations. It really helps you imagine how grand and impressive it must have been back in the day.

Michi-no-Eki Ukiha
Located along National Route 201, which runs along the border between Fukuoka and Oita Prefectures, this station sits atop a hill with sweeping views of the Chikugo Plain, making it a popular sightseeing spot. Its striking wooden building, inspired by a traditional kudo-zukuri farmhouse, an architectural style native to Saga and Fukuoka characterized by a roof shaped like a traditional Japanese cooking hearth (kudo) adds to its charm.
Even a random peach I bought here was incredibly fragrant—superior to anything from the supermarket. There are lots of dried fruits and jams too, perfect for souvenirs!

Katsuo-ji Temple
Surrounded by a national park in the surrounding area, Katsuo-ji Temple in Minoh is an ancient temple with a history of about 1,300 years, founded in the Nara period (710-794). Within the temple's vast grounds, which cover an area of about 80,000 square meters, are the main hall and temple gate, which were rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori, and Sanpoukoujin Shrine, which is believed to be the first Arakami shrine in Japan.
Inside the temple, you'll find lots of small Daruma dolls on display. These Daruma symbolize people's wishes and prayers.

TOKYO SKYTREE(R) TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN(R)
Boasting a height of 634 meters, TOKYO SKYTREE is the world’s tallest free-standing tower which stands in the center of TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN surrounded by tourist facilities. The tower has two observation decks, Tembo Deck at a height of 350 meters and Tembo Galleria at 450 meters.
The elevator goes up super fast and smoothly. Before you know it, after just a couple of swallows, you're already at the Tembo Deck on the 350th floor.
