Private Tottori Day Trip – Sand Dunes, Nature & Scenic Highlights

Experience the natural wonders and coastal beauty of Tottori on this private full-day tour from Osaka or Kyoto, designed for comfort, flexibility, and authentic discovery. Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide and explore Japan’s lesser-known treasures at your own pace.
Begin your adventure at the Tottori Sand Dunes, Japan’s largest and most unique desert-like landscape. Stroll across the golden sands, capture breathtaking sea views, or try exciting activities like camel riding and sandboarding. Just nearby, visit the Sand Museum, where world-renowned artists create magnificent, large-scale sand sculptures that change themes every year — a truly one-of-a-kind art experience.
Continue to the spectacular Uradome Coast, part of the San’in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark. Enjoy panoramic views of rugged cliffs and turquoise waters, and take an optional boat cruise to explore hidden sea caves and rock formations up close.
After a scenic morning, relax over a local lunch featuring Tottori’s famous specialties — such as wagyu beef, seafood donburi, or fresh crab (seasonal).
In the afternoon, visit Hakuto Shrine, a charming seaside shrine linked to the ancient legend of the White Rabbit of Inaba, or choose to stop at the Detective Conan Museum, dedicated to Tottori’s most famous manga artist, Gosho Aoyama.
End your journey with a comfortable drive back to Osaka or Kyoto, taking in views of Japan’s beautiful countryside.
This private Tottori day tour is a perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure, offering a peaceful escape from the city and a glimpse of Japan’s hidden coastal gems.
