Tottori Sand Dunes: Japan's Most Beautiful Desert Scenery

The Tottori Sand Dunes 🗿, located on the Sea of ​​Japan coast in Tottori City, Japan 🇯🇵, are Japan's largest coastal sand dunes and a designated National Natural Monument. Formed over thousands of years by alluvial deposits from the Chiyo River and the winds of the Sea of ​​Japan, they showcase magnificent wind ripples and dune formations that change over time. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities such as camel riding, sandboarding, and hang gliding, admire the stunning sunrise and sunset views, and visit the Sand Museum, renowned for its sand sculptures.
