In addition to playing on the

In addition to playing on the beach and seeing the Tottori sand dunes, the Sand Museum is a must-visit attraction when traveling to Tottori! This trip will take you around Tottori's most characteristic Sand Museum, and feel the atmosphere of Western art created with sand! This time I saw the scene is really likely to be a sand sculpture like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the interior is large, the design is also very exquisite, the picture is very international. The best part is that the exhibits are different every year, even if you have been there, you can be surprised again ~ (can't touch your hands, be careful to follow the rules!)

[Itinerary Highlights]
- Annual limited themed sand sculpture exhibition
- The design of the exhibition hall is extremely exotic, great for taking pictures
- The sand sculpture is so delicate that even the architectural details are restored, super silly!
