Tottori Sand Dunes (Tottori)
Tottori Prefecture
A beautiful natural landscape where sand and wind weave together
Located in the eastern part of Tottori Prefecture, the Tottori Sand Dunes stretch east to west for 16 km and north to south for 2.4 km. Visitors can enjoy a changing terrain peculiar to sand dunes, including the “wind ripples” and “sand screens” engraved into the surface of the sand by the blowing wind. Visitors will also be treated to a superb view from the top of the dunes overlooking the Sea of Japan. The Tottori Sand Dunes are awarded 2 stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan.
