Tottori Sand Dunes, Chugoku, Japan

Amazing And Unseen Tottori Prefecture

We started our trip from Saicho Station, Higashi Hiroshima to Tottori Station and then continue to Tottori sand dunes. The first time I saw it was something amazing. The Sand dunes and ocean waves that match each other perfectly. From then, travel to the Uradome Coast. It is a very beautiful place, we can walk up the mountain to get a better view and enjoined the winter wind. After that, we traveled to Kurayoshi White Wall Street. It is a quiet village but there are interesting things. There is a museum about Sumo to learn. And there are shops that are unique to buy souvenirs. And the last place in Tottori is Bamboo Forests and Old Railway. We had fun walking through the snow on the old railway line that had bamboo trees all around. It is a remarkable place. This is amazing and unseen Tottori.

Tottori Sand Dune
The bus from Tottori Station Bus Terminal (boarding area 0) takes one to the Sand Dune. Be prepared to pay cash as the bus conductor did not (at that point in time) accept the use of the IC card. If you plan to climb to the peak of the dune, come prepared. Some of the visitors had a change of footwear while others wrapped their shoes with plastic bags. How long you want to spend your time here varies. The visit can be over in 15 minutes or last as long as 2 hours or more.

Something different ?
That's for sure a big change of scenery! Pristine sand dunes with white sand offering a view on the cost line. You can have it short by just climbing the dunes, or you can have it the long way going down the dunes and walking by the beach. One con though, the camel tour is a complete rip off ! You will end up paying 1600¥ for a 2 minutes tour ?. To get there, take the bus 39 from Tottori train station. It will cost you 380¥ per person per way.
