The Tottori Sand Museum has a range of detailed sand sculptures, made to coincide with an annual theme. The venue is located in close proximity to the Tottori Sand Dunes.
The Tottori Sand Dunes are the largest sand dunes in Japan and the most famous attraction in Tottori Prefecture. They extend for about 16 kilometers along the coast of the Sea of Japan and are up to two kilometers wide and 50 meters high. The view over the dunes can be from the The Sakyu Center observation deck can be enjoyed via a chair lift. The dunes were formed when sand from the nearby Sendaigawa River washed into the sea and was eventually re-deposited by the ocean currents along the coast. Today, the constant movement of the tides and the coastal winds continuously shape the sand dunes, creating an ever-changing landscape. You can explore the dunes on camels as well as on horse-drawn carriages. Those who prefer something more adventurous can try paragliding or sandboarding, a variant of snowboarding. Not far away is the Sand Museum, which shows large sand sculptures by artists from all over the world. The exhibitions change annually and have various themes, typically a country or a region.
Founded in 1949 by Tottori physician Dr. Shoya Yoshida (1898–1972), the Tottori Folk Crafts Museum was established to promote the mingei philosophy developed by Soetsu Yanagi (1889–1961) and to serve as a base for the Tottori Mingei Movement. Its collection comprises more than 5,000 works, including Joseon dynasty ceramics, traditional folk crafts from Japan, China, Western countries, and Tottori, as well as New Creations Mingei produced by Dr. Yoshida. The museum’s current building, completed in 1957, is designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property (Structure) of Japan.
