Tottori

From Tottori, Kobe is 80 miles (129 kilometers) to the southeast, while Osaka is approximately 90 miles (145 kilometers) to the southeast.

It comes as no surprise that Tottori is so popular with travelers from all over the world; the region is an Aladdin's Cave of fascinating sights and attractions. Misasa, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the east, and Yabu, 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the west of Tottori are also worth visiting should you have the time.

Kyotango, is another good place to head to. It is approximately 45 miles (72 kilometers) from Tottori and offers a great selection of things to see, such as Goshiki Beach Park, Gosyo Inaba-honke and Kumihama C. C.. Shizuka Shrine and Yuhigaura are good places to visit.

Authentic traveling is so much more than just the scenery, it's also about the words, stories and ideas of a place. Your stay in Tottori will become infinitely richer if you take the time to try a few everyday phrases and sayings in Japanese. A great example of a handy Japanese phrase is "Isshoni odorimasenka?" (Would you like to dance with me?). "Benjo wa doko desu ka?" ("Where's the toilet?") is also good to know.

When it's time to leave this special part of the world, bid a fond Sayōnara (farewell) to the locals you've met and the spots you've been.
