#2月好地方2025 Onyado Nono is the top choice for accommodation in Sakaiminato City, Tottori. The natural hot spring of this hotel in Sakaiminato is named "Yuunagi no Yu". It is located next to Sakaiminato JR Station, very close to the Yokai Shrine and Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum. You can even have a chance to see the Gegege no Kitaro train just a few steps away. The characteristic of Onyado Nono is that the whole floor of the building is tatami, and there is a natural hot spring on the rooftop. It is very enjoyable to enjoy the sea view while soaking in the hot spring. There are quite a few facilities in the hotel, including karaoke and sauna, as well as bicycle rental and self-service laundry services. The double rooms at Onyado Nono are all pretty much the same, with Japanese-style beds. The rooms are not big, but they are comfortable to sleep in. On weekdays, the cost is around NT$3,000 excluding breakfast, which is pretty ok. #Tottori #Sakaiminato #Onyado Nono

As a fan of GeGeGe no Kitaro, a visit to the Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, is a must. The museum is dedicated to the life and works of Shigeru Mizuki, the creator of Kitaro. It showcases original drawings, collections of spirits and yokai from around the world, including masks, decorations, and large murals. However, the main attraction is Kitaro himself. From FRP decorations, manga manuscripts, to murals, familiar characters like Medama Oyaji, Nezumi Otoko, and Neko Musume bring back childhood memories, making it a delightful photo opportunity. Advance tickets are ¥900, and same-day tickets are ¥1000. Besides the exhibitions, there is also a shop where fans can buy a wide range of Kitaro merchandise. It's truly a worthwhile visit.

Gegegege Kitaro was very popular when we were young, but I guess young people today don’t have much impression of him. As soon as he heard that there was a hometown of Gegege no Kitaro, the uncle checked the train and rushed to Sakaiminato. When changing from Yonago to the Yokai Train, the characters in the comics transform into train paintings, setting the mood for entering the world of Gegege no Kitaro. The waiting seats at the station are also full of Gegege no Kitaro elements. Sakaiminato in Tottori was originally a port city connecting South Korea and Russia. Because the author of Gegege no Kitaro was born here, it has become a focus of local tourism promotion. There is also a Mizuki Shigeru Avenue in the area. If you stroll along it, you can see various ghost characters from comics transformed into sculptures decorating the streets. Even the street lights have become eyeballs. If you are lucky, you will encounter a Gegege no Kitaro doll appearing and taking photos with tourists. JR is also very localized. The Yokai Train route and signboards also use Gegege no Kitaro, giving San'in Tottori a more ghostly atmosphere. 📍Address: 〒684-0004 Taisho-cho, Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

I went to Mizuki Shigeru Road at Sakaiminato Station in Shimane Prefecture! The world of Gegege no Kitaro was spread out, and each monument was cute! The street lamp heads were also cute with Medama Oyaji! It was a great place to talk about souvenirs! If you go to Shimane Prefecture, please stop by♪ #Shimane #Mizuki Shigeru Road #Gegege no Kitaro #Souvenirs

I took the new Tigerair flight "Yonago Kitaro Airport" to Tottori Prefecture for 8 days and 7 nights. I am a Conan fan and went there once in April. This time I had to wait longer and had a more in-depth trip! Although it is in the countryside, the Tottori City Government offers many discounts for tourists, such as a 3-hour taxi tour for 4,000 yen, a one-day tour bus in the city, and a 100-yen bus for the city loop. Overall, it is quite convenient~ This time, the cost for two people is about 35,000, which is very cost-effective!

🌟Trips: 🌟 Watch the cartoon before you go!! It is a very vintage one (basically all mid aged Japanese would know) 🌟 Parking is available there, its just 10 minutes to fresh fish market in the town 🛣️ Mizuki Shigeru Road, affectionately known as Kitaro Street, in Sakaiminato, Tottori, is an absolute blast! Dedicated to the legendary manga artist Shigeru Mizuki and his beloved 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' series, this street is a whimsical wonderland for fans and curious travelers alike.🤫🤫 From the moment you step off the train🚊, you're immersed in a world of yokai (Japanese spirits and monsters). Over 150 bronze statues of Kitaro, Nezumi Otoko, Neko Musume, and countless other fascinating creatures line the street✨, each with its own unique charm. It's like a spooky scavenger hunt trying to spot them all! Beyond the statues, you'll find charming shops selling yokai-themed souvenirs, delicious local snacks, and even a post office🏣 where the mailboxes are shaped like the characters. There's also the Mizuki Shigeru Museum nearby for a deeper dive. It's a truly unique and playful experience that brings Japanese folklore to life in the most endearing way. Don't miss it! #kitaro #yonago #anime #vintage #spooky

I went to the newly renovated Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum! If you walk straight along Mizuki Shigeru Road from JR Sakaiminato Station, you will find the Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum at the end! You can learn about Shigeru Mizuki's upbringing and more! There are also monsters in the dimly lit space. There is a place nearby where you can buy eyeball manju, so I recommend stopping by there as well ✨ [Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum] 📍 Address: 5 Honmachi, Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture 684-0025 🕰️ Business hours: 9:30-17:00 💰 Price per person: Adults ¥1,000 #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

Sakaiminato Station is also known as Gegege no Kitaro Station. The whole street is full of surprises at night! Various Gegege no Kitaro characters are reflected on the road. I highly recommend everyone to visit here!

On the last day of the trip, it was not time to return the bus, so I had to search for attractions near the airport on Google Maps and found this Dream Harbor Tower. Feel worth going, a bit of a convention, although not so big, but the entrance fee is not expensive, only 300 yen, there are plenty of free parking, the exhibition hall put different exhibitions, and you can take the elevator to the top to see the whole city, this issue put the national costumes of different countries (I do not know if there is a regular change). There are also one-to-one size yurts, Russian dolls and the like.... All the decorations are meticulous. The piano keys in the aisle can be played casually, and there are two dressing rooms that allow visitors to dress in the national costumes of different countries, even headgear and clogs. You can take pictures on set boards in various places. There are also some exhibition halls next door, where many Japanese locals come in and out like a meeting, everyone wearing handsome suits. Less than 8 minutes drive from Yonago Airport, a must-have attraction for self-drive tours👍🏼 #Dreamport Tower

Every time I go to Tottori, I always choose Nono Hotel. The surrounding environment is quiet, the accommodation is comfortable, the food is first-class, and the location is close to Yonago Airport. I will always recommend it to my friends.

The first choice must be to choose #Tottori Miko! Beautiful scenery, seasonal food and products, in addition to rice, there are many hidden secrets 🌳 in the Sanyin area, there are so many fun places that you won't believe it! #TottoriDune #GetaroTrain #Jaisheng Onsen #Conan Town and other attractions Crazy photo 📸! The program is so rich, of course there is no shortage of food. Let's take a look at my own top 3 must-eat local recommendations: In addition to seeing the most beautiful scenery when traveling, seasonal food is also a must. Let's take a look at the editor's top 3 must-eat local dishes: ❤️A5 Wagyu "Tottori Beef" 🥩 What is so great about Tottori Ox? Tottori beef is the earliest cattle breed in Japan to carry out pedigree registration and breeding. It is also known as the ancestor of Wagyu beef along with "Tajima beef" in Hyogo Prefecture🤓! The meat is more tender than regular Wagyu beef and melts in your mouth better! The popular recommendation is charcoal grilled "FuHuku"🌟, as the first barbecue restaurant in Japan to eat Tottori Wanye beef, highly recommended! ❤️Beef bone ramen🍜 Specialty ramen popular in central Tottori, generally ramen mostly with pork bones, chicken bones or seafood as the soup, but beef bone ramen adopts boiling for 20 hours 😱 more than beef bone broth, the soup is clear, the taste is super fragrant and rich 👍🏻👍🏻! ❤️ Summer must-eat "Tottori Rock Oyster Summer Fai" 🦪 June to August is the season for rock oysters. Each oyster is as big as a palm, with plump and full meat. You must have enough money to play in summer😋!

It’s also the hometown of Shigeru Mizuki, creator of “GeGeGe no Kitaro,” and you’ll find playful touches of his work throughout the town. But beyond the manga, Sakaiminato is a peaceful place to enjoy ocean views and a good cup of coffee. 📍 Yumeminato Tower It may be Japan’s lowest tower, but don’t let that fool you—head to the top for an unexpectedly great panoramic view of the Sea of Japan and surrounding landscapes. 📍 Sunaba Coffee Sakaiminato Shop A local favorite from Tottori!

#May Travel Support Fund Yonago was a quiet city with hidden charms. The city of Yonago was a good mix of cute shops and local businesses, making it easy to take a leisurely stroll, and the city itself was not too big, making it easy to explore leisurely. The ruins of Yonago Castle were located high up, so the view was clear, allowing me to see Yonago City and the surrounding scenery at a glance. Although only traces of the castle itself remain, the stone steps and the old castle walls were enough to give me a sense of history. The Conan Museum in Hokuei-cho is a must-see for fans of Detective Conan. This is the hometown of author Gosho Aoyama, and the entire town is decorated with a Conan theme, so you can find traces of Conan everywhere you go, not just in the museum, but also in the station, streets, and sculptures. The museum is filled with manuscripts, setting drawings, and experiential exhibits, stimulating fans’ hearts. The Tottori Sand Dunes in Tottori City were definitely a unique sight, worthy of being the representative attraction of this region. The sand dunes that spread out like a desert are so exotic that it’s surprising that such a place exists in Japan, and the wide open view when you climb up and look out over the ocean is impressive. If you go when the weather is good, you can take good pictures, and you can also enjoy activities such as camel riding. Mizuki Shigeru Road in Sakaiminato City is a street where monsters and legends live and breathe. The monster characters of the author Mizuki Shigeru are installed as statues all over the street, so it feels like you’re playing a game of “monster hunting” while walking. There are many stores selling related goods on the street, and some stores even sell snacks shaped like monster characters, which was fun. There were many families visiting, and it’s a structure that you can enjoy even if you don’t know the characters.

Sakana Juku is a restaurant run by the fishery association located in the Sakaiminato Fisheries Direct Sales Center in Sakaiminato. There are a lot of crabs for sale at the direct sales center, and you can eat them on the spot, but I wanted to eat a seafood bowl, so I went to Sakana Juku. I arrived at the restaurant around 1pm on a weekday, and most of the seats were taken. It was a food court style restaurant, where you buy a ticket from the ticket machine and your number is called. There was a lot on the menu, so I had a hard time deciding what to get, but I went for the basic seafood bowl for 1200 yen. The portion was a little small, but I was very happy to be able to get it at this price. The fish used was caught that day, so it was extremely fresh. The miso soup was also very delicious. There are many other attractive seafood bowls, so please visit at least once. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Location: Sakaiminato Sakana Juku, operated directly by the Fisheries Cooperative Association, 9-5 Showa-cho, Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture, ☎️0859-30-3857 #seafood #seafoodbowl #lunch #tottori #sakaiminato
