The Tottori Sand Museum has a range of detailed sand sculptures, made to coincide with an annual theme. The venue is located in close proximity to the Tottori Sand Dunes.
Las dunas de arena de Tottori son las dunas de arena más grandes de Japón y la atracción más famosa de la prefectura de Tottori. Se extienden por unos 16 kilómetros a lo largo de la costa del mar de Japón y tienen hasta dos kilómetros de ancho y 50 metros de altura. La vista de las dunas se pueden hacer desde la plataforma de observación del Centro Sakyu y se puede llegar a la plataforma a través de un telesilla. Las dunas se formaron cuando la arena del cercano río Sendaigawa se lavó en el mar y finalmente fue depositada nuevamente por las corrientes oceánicas a lo largo de la costa. Hoy en día, el movimiento constante de las mareas y los vientos costeros moldean continuamente las dunas de arena, creando un paisaje en constante cambio. Puede explorar las dunas en camellos o en carruajes tirados por caballos. Aquellos que prefieran algo más aventurero pueden probar el parapente o el sandboard, una variante del snowboard. No muy lejos se encuentra el Museo de Arena, que muestra grandes esculturas de arena de artistas de todo el mundo. Las exposiciones cambian anualmente y tienen varios temas, generalmente sobre un país o una región.
Founded in 1949 by Tottori physician Dr. Shoya Yoshida (1898–1972), the Tottori Folk Crafts Museum was established to promote the mingei philosophy developed by Soetsu Yanagi (1889–1961) and to serve as a base for the Tottori Mingei Movement. Its collection comprises more than 5,000 works, including Joseon dynasty ceramics, traditional folk crafts from Japan, China, Western countries, and Tottori, as well as New Creations Mingei produced by Dr. Yoshida. The museum’s current building, completed in 1957, is designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property (Structure) of Japan.
