Tottori Sand Dunes
Located on the Sea of Japan side of Tottori City in Tottori Prefecture, the Tottori Sand Dunes stretch 16 km from east to west and 2.4 km from north to south, making them one of the largest dune systems in Japan. These dunes, designated as a special protected area and a Natural Monument of Japan, are a major tourist attraction representing Tottori Prefecture.
Absolutely gorgeous. Taking off one star because it was so exhausting and insanely hot. Climbing up got to the point where I was seriously over it.
But the view was so beautiful. I hope I’ll get the chance to see the white sand dunes someday. I’d also love to see it snow there and find out just how cold it gets!
Making it to the top was totally worth it!
Haha, a fun little story:
That day I was heading back to the hotel, and when I saw the bus was coming in five minutes, I took off running. Luckily the light was red, and the driver was really nice. They drove slowly along that stretch of road, probably to see if anyone else needed to get on! (Just my guess though.)
Oh, and I actually went twice.
The first day, I could still sit and rest.
The weather was just perfect! The second day was so hot I felt like I was going to melt, but I loved the place so much that I went two days in a row.
