OVERVIEW

Tottori is a small city in western Japan, with residential districts, regional services and a broad dune system beside the coast. Agriculture and fishing remain important beyond the urban centre. The relationship between coastal dunes, quiet streets and regional food in a small city opening towards mountains and the sea of japan and city gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Walking on the dunes, local food and nearby temples provide varied experiences. The city feels calm and practical, with coastal and mountain landscapes close at hand. Spending time with both coastal dunes and quiet streets and regional food in a small city opening towards mountains and the sea of japan reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
