-TOTTORI - Desert × Cafe
My first time in Tottori. It was a trip that was fun enough even for a day trip. There were a lot of seafood dishes I wanted to try, so I stopped by a stylish cafe that stood out in the desert🐪💕
I was also overwhelmed by the works at the Sand Museum, which were made with only sand and water and precision down to the last detail✨
The exhibition changes the theme every year, so I'd like to go again next year🤭
📅End of September 2023
