Tottori is said to be the least populated city in Japan, yet it has the country’s largest sand dunes.
I visited in winter, and the icy winds from the Sea of Japan were hitting me head-on. It really gave me the thrilling vibe of the movie Sand Woman. I even wondered if a sandworm might suddenly pop out. 🤣
You can take the chairlift up to the observation deck, pay extra to ride a camel along the sand, and visit The Sand Museum too (though it closes when it rains).
A very unique attraction and definitely worth a visit.

For Cup Noodles fans, visiting the Nissin Cup Noodles Museum should be an experience that fully delights all five senses. From the building to the souvenirs, even the manhole covers feature the little yellow chick.
When you come to the Cup Noodles “kingdom,” you of course have to make your own cup noodles. Everything from decorating the cup to creating your own flavor really brings out your inner child.
I also learned that Momofuku Ando was actually from Chiayi, Taiwan. His inspiring life story made the visit even more uplifting. -

There’s an English-style Peter Rabbit garden on Mt. Rokko, and you can find little surprises in just about every corner.
From Rokko Garden Terrace, you can look out over Kobe, Wakayama, and other areas along Osaka Bay. The view is as colorful and dazzling as opening a jewelry box, and the night scenery sparkles like brilliant gems!
There’s also a ranch and a music box museum here, and you can even make your own music box as a souvenir. -
