Tottori Hidden Gems

Las dunas de arena de Tottori son el único paisaje desértico de Japón, un espectáculo insólito junto al mar de Japón. En Sakaiminato, la calle de Mizuki Shigeru está poblada de esculturas de yokai del manga GeGeGe no Kitaro. El monte Daisen, «el Fuji de San'in», domina la costa.

8 spots
