We begin with the iconic Tottori Sand Dunes, one of Japan’s most dramatic natural wonders.

Walk among the sand, enjoy panoramic views, and take plenty of photos this is one of Tottori’s signature experiences and a must for travellers who want something unique and cinematic. Because the dunes are exposed, conditions may be windy at times, but your guide will choose the safest and most enjoyable routes and viewpoints so you can enjoy the landscape with confidence. After exploring the dunes, we head to the Tottori Sand Museum, where admission is included. Inside, you’ll discover sand art, exhibits, and creative creations that showcase what makes Tottori’s sand special—turning an outdoor landscape into an indoor experience filled with detail and imagination. This stop is perfect for both first-time visitors and those who want a deeper look at local culture and artistry related to the dunes. Next, we travel to Sakaiminato, a charming coastal town famous for its connection to manga creator Shigeru Mizuki. Here, you’ll explore Mizuki Shigeru Road, a lively walkway lined with more than 150 bronze statues that bring beloved characters and stories to life in an eye-catching, photo-friendly way. As you stroll, you’ll feel the unique manga atmosphere that has helped Tottori earn its reputation as a place where characters, community, and sightseeing blend naturally. Your guide will share background stories and point out the most interesting photo spots, while also tailoring the pace to your preferences whether you want a relaxed walk, more time for pictures, or extra explanations about the places you visit. This tour does not include lunch, so you can enjoy the freedom to choose your own meal style during the day. Overall, this private itinerary is carefully designed to highlight Tottori’s top attractions (Sand Dunes + Sand Museum + Mizuki-themed Sakaiminato) while keeping the experience smooth, comfortable, and personal.
