Info: Tottori Sand Dunes, located along the Sea of Japan in Tottori Prefecture, are Japan’s largest and most unique sandscape—spanning approximately 16 kilometers from east to west and up to 2.4 kilometers wide. Created over millennia by drifting sand deposits from the nearby Chugoku Mountains, the dunes offer sweeping coastal vistas and a desert-like feel in an unexpected locale. Visitors can experience camel and pony rides, sandboarding, and paragliding, or simply wander across the golden ridges. Nearby attractions include the Sand Museum, which features detailed seasonal sculptures carved from sand, and stunning sunset views over the sea.
