What other travelers are saying about Tottori Sand Dunes
Having so much fun in this sand dune, it feels like a little adventure to walk through it under the snow and strong wind. This is definitely amazing to see the sand dune covered with snow and Japan sea all in one place. Suggest: wear enough layer in the winter, bring sunnies to protect eyes and maybe mask cause you may accidentally eat some sand 🤫
Beautiful landmark, visited on the end of Nov, the weather is cool and breezy. Lots of tourist but still enjoyable, especially if you go with family / children, would be nice to have a slide on the sand or camel riding.
Incredible place to visit on a not very hot day. Be sure to bring enough water and sunscreen. The walk from the street to the top of the dune takes about 10 minutes and is uphill. The view is rewarding though! You will get sand in your shoes.
Great view. Easy access. Bigger sandpit than I'd think.
When coming to Tottori Station, take the 300 yen shuttle bus, which circles the town. It takes about 30 minutes.
Majestic sand dunes that are the most popular sightseeing spot in Tottori Prefecture. Located a short distance from the center of Tottori City (about a twenty minute taxi ride from Tottori Station). Spring is the ideal time to visit this place. It’s better to plan dunes time for early morning or evening to avoid burned feet, heat exhaustion, or fatal lightning strikes.
