The Golden Desert
Spanning 16 kilometers along the coast, the Tottori Sand Dunes are a geological marvel. Formed over 100,000 years, these shifting sands create a landscape that feels more like the Sahara than the Japanese archipelago.
Experience camel trekking, sandboarding, or paragliding over the sparkling blue waters of the Sea of Japan.
