Tottori Prefecture's Tottori Sand Dunes (鳥取砂丘⭐⭐), stretching 16 kilometers along the Sea of Japan, are Japan's largest. Formed over 100,000 years by river sediment and ocean winds, these 30-square-kilometer "sculpture gardens" attract 1.2 to 2 million visitors annually. Easily accessible by bus (20-25 mins, ~380 yen) or taxi (~3,000 yen) from Tottori Station, they offer an otherworldly natural experience.

In December 2024, we embarked on a short but unforgettable journey to the Tottori Sand Dunes. Over the course of two days, the skies remained cloaked in clouds, with light rain falling steadily—nature’s quiet reminder that beauty isn’t always served under sunshine. But on the second day, just as the sun began to dip below the horizon, the rain lifted. In that fleeting moment between drizzle and dusk, the dunes revealed their magic.
