Japan's Crazy Desert Revealed: Tottori Sand Dune Adventure ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Yes, Japan has a desert compete with camels, sane dunes and ... a world class art museum with sand sculptures! This time, John heads to this barren wasteland devoid of vending machines for a taste of the Sahara – in Japan.
100,000 years ago, this area turned into a desert because sand flew in from the sea accumulating over many millennia. The result is a 16 km by 2 km wide desert that was growing until about 50 years ago when the city residents decided enough was enough.
MORE HISTORY:
After World War 2, a barricade was built to prevent tsunami and residents planted trees to stop the desertification. Now the desert area is shrinking and because of its uniqueness and lure for domestic and international tourism, the residents no longer want to stop it. In fact, 6000 volunteers in 2015 come out every few months to put pull out the vegetation all in the name of ecology!
History and problems aside, this place rocks!
50 meter high sand dunes overlook the beautiful Sea of Japan to the horizon.
THE SAND MUSEUM:
I didn't just come here for the sand dunes.
The SAND MUSEUM is a world class art museum produced by Chaen Katsuhiko who tells us his story and the reason why the Tottori Sand Dunes are so special in the world today.
Indeed, it's become a center of sand sculpting with a massive indoor enclosure housing dozens of sand sculpture displays created by guest artists from around the world and a place of pride for the city to Tottori.
Every year THE SAND MUSEUM has a major theme with new designs, reusing the sand to make a new world for visitors. This year's theme is South America and it's history with a special emphasis on Rio DeJanaro which hosted the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Japan's Most Terrifying Bridge: Eshima Ohashi ★ ONLY in JAPAN #33
It's been nicknamed the ROLLER COASTER BRIDGE because of it's super steep slope and appearance of being a bridge to the sky.
That's the Eshima Ohashi Bridge straddling Shimane and Tottori prefecture in Japan.
Facts about the Eshima Ohashi:
★ 1,446 meters long
★ 250 meters of continupus concrete in the center (the third longest Ramen bridge in the world!)
★ 6.1% grade slope on the Shimane Prefecture side
★ 5.1% grade on the Tottori side
★ The bridge needed to be high in the center to allow large shops to pass under.
☆ From the Shimane side, you can get the optical illusion view at the end of the street by the sea.
☆ If you have a good telephoto lens, go even further to the other side of the sea for a better shot. (Map below)
The bridge has a good pedestrian footpath on both sides of the road.
Bicycles are not allowed on the footpath so stay on the main road with the car, to the left side.
There is an observation point on the top that offers sweeping views all the way to Daisen (mountain).
The closest major access point is Yonago Station and airport on the Sea of Japan. From there, take a train to Sakaiminato and rent a bicycle or grab a taxi.
Sakaiminato is also famous for Japanese anime and the main street is like a museum of monsters!
The bridge is a 20 minute ride from Sakai Minato.
Take food with you from the station.

Views of Central Yonago 米子 米子市街地の風景（皆生→米子城址）(Re-encoded)
8/13/2010米子市街地を皆生から米子城跡まで歩きました。
Yonago (米子市, Yonago-shi?) is a city located in the northwest of Tottori, Japan, facing the Sea of Japan, and adjacent to Shimane. It is the prefecture's second largest city after Tottori and therefore a commercial center of the western part of this prefecture.
Yonago has always been an important crossing point of several routes in the area. Currently, it is the crosspoint of three railway lines and has a seaport to the Oki Islands. Miho-Yonago Airport, located in a neighboring city of Sakaiminato, serves the area.
米子市（よなごし）は、鳥取県の西部の市で島根県と接する。山陰地方の中央部に位置する都市。
古くから商業都市として発展し、『山陰の大阪』とも呼ばれる。
JR境線･伯備線の分岐点として、国鉄時代には米子鉄道管理局が置かれ、国道9･180･181号が通り、米子空港をもつ山陰の交通の要地となっている。
鳥取大学医学部や山陰放送（テレビ・ラジオ併設局）などがあり、山陰の拠点都市の1つとなっている。なお、山陰両県を統括する機関は米子市か松江市に置くケースが多い。
本市を中心に山陰最大の人口を擁する米子都市圏が形成されている。また、隣接する松江都市圏・出雲都市圏とともに、雲伯地方に中海・宍道湖経済圏が形成されていると見なされる。
Йонаго (яп. 米子市 Ёнаго-си?) — город в Японии, находящийся в префектуре Тоттори. Площадь города составляет 132,21 км²,[1] население — 148 014 человек (1 июня 2010)[2], плотность населения — 1119,54 чел./км².
요나고 시(일본어: 米子市 (よなごし))는 돗토리 현 서부의 시이다. 시마네 현에 접하고 산인 지방의 중앙부에 위치한다.
옛부터 상업 도시로서 발전해 산인의 오사카로도 불리고 있으며 철도 3선, 요나고 자동차도, 산인 자동차도, 요나고 공항 등을 포함하는 산인의 교통의 요충지이기도 하다. 또 돗토리 대학 의학부와 산인 방송(텔레비전·라디오 병설국)을 포함해 지식과 정보가 집약하는 산인의 거점 도시의 하나이다. 덧붙여 산인 양현을 총괄하는 기관은 요나고 시나 마쓰에 시에 두는 경우가 많다.
본시를 중심으로 산인 최대의 인구를 가지는 요나고 도시권이 형성되어 있다. 또 인접하는 마쓰에 도시권·이즈모 도시권과 함께 운파쿠 지방에 나카우미 호·신지 호 경제권이 형성되어 있다고 여겨지고 있다. 덧붙여 산인 최대의 온천지인 가이케 온천은 일본의 철인 3종 경기 발상지로도 유명하다.
Yonago (米子市 Yonago-shi ? ) es una ciudad que se encuentra al oeste de la Prefectura de Tottori en Japón. Según datos del 2010, la ciudad tiene una población estimada de 147.972 habitantes y una densidad de 1.120 personas por km². El área total es de 132,21 km².
La ciudad fue fundada el 1 de abril de 1927, y creció su territorio al absorber diversos pueblos y villas (uno en 1935, uno en 1936, tres en 1938, dos en 1953, ocho en 1954, uno en 1956, uno en 1968 y en 2005 con la absorción del pueblo de Yodoe).
Al oeste se ubica la península de Yumigahama (que comparte con la ciudad de Sakaiminato al oeste) que divide la bahía de Miho, en las costas del Mar de Japón, con el Nakaumi. Al sur se ubican las principales elevaciones de la ciudad. La villa de Hiezu se encuentra rodeada por la ciudad de Yonago y en el límite de ambas se ubica la desembocadura del río Hino.

Kumamoto City, situated roughly in the center of Kumamoto Prefecture, is the government and economic center of the prefecture. It has a population of over 730,000 and holds the largest-scale shopping arcade in western Japan. With a length of over 1 kilometer, the arcade is located at the foot of Kumamoto Castle in the city center. In the shopping arcade, there is a wide variety of shops, such as department stores, electronic shops, drugstores, and boutiques. There are also a variety of restaurants and bars where tourists can enjoy local delicacies.
The area is also rich in history, with sites such as Kumamoto Castle, built over 400 years ago and considered one of the three most magnificent castles in Japan. On top of everything else, Kumamoto is blessed with abundant hot springs.
As you can see, Kumamoto is filled with invaluable historical heritage, unique culture, magnificent nature, and refreshing hot springs, as well as outstanding food.

Riding a CAMEL in JAPAN｜Day 69 - Tottori
The Tottori Sand Dunes (鳥取砂丘, Tottori Sakyu) are the largest sand dunes in Japan and Tottori's most famous tourist attraction. Located just outside the city center, they span roughly 16 kilometers of coast along of the Sea of Japan and are up to two kilometers wide and 50 meters high. They are part of the Sanin Kaigan National Park.
The sand dunes were created over thousands of years, as sand from the nearby Sendaigawa River was washed out to sea and eventually redeposited along the coast by the ocean's currents. Today, the constant movement of the tides and the coastal winds continuously shape the sand dunes and provide an ever changing landscape.
