General presentation
Tottori and the Uradome coast
Coastal dunes, sand museum and rocky coast draw an unusual landscape on the Japanese Sea.
The discovery of Tottori and the Uradome coast is structured around Dunes de Tottori, Museum of Sand and Uradome Coast. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, natural areas and heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
