For me traveling isn't about visiting the major areas
-
taking a photo
-
and crossing it off the list
-
it's about understanding and
-
Immersing yourself in a different culture
-
seeing the different ways people live life and
-
Opening up your mind to new perspectives
-
but most importantly
-
Through traveling and the encounters I make it
-
It inspires me and it's the way I learn
-
So in part 2 of Tottori
-
let's go deeper
-
and learn more about this magical place together
-
We started day three by walking along an old train line that is now a beautiful hidden gem
-
The train line is 30 kilometers long however, you can decide where you want to start and stop
-
I only had time to walk along one station
-
But I did get to see some beautiful views of Tottori and really just enjoy being surrounded by nature
-
Wow, there's so much bamboo here
-
Who would have thought that you would have all this bamboo
-
along the train tracks
-
You know how so many people go to Kyoto and they go to see the bamboo in Kyoto you can come to Tottori
-
and see the Bamboo and have no tourists in your photo
-
next we headed over to a small suburban area in Tottori which had a lot of well-preserved traditional architecture
-
a historic atmosphere, and many unique local shops like this one here which sold handcrafted traditional Kites
-
I recommend staying two to three hours here and you can also rent a Yukata to explore the area
-
So I just got kakigoori shaved ice
-
In this area it's okay to walk around with food unlike most areas in Japan so let's go
-
I loved how this place had such a natural genuine atmosphere
-
and that the shops tried to preserve their original culture and history
-
unlike some of the other traditional streets I have been to in Japan
-
where I felt like a lot of it was made just for show and to market at tourists
-
In the afternoon we hit it into the mountains for some hiking
-
and this is now one of my top recommendations to visit in Tottori
-
We then changed into Waraji which were very commonly worn in the olden days
-
They are made from straw rope and have souls that have a good grip which makes it perfect for climbing
-
We are now at the half-way point, I'm like covered in sweat
-
It's a temple
-
In the evening, we checked into our hotel and since it was right next to the beach
-
I knew I couldn't end the day without doing one more thing
-
and that was
-
Suikawari, which is a very common Japanese game played in the summertime
-
On the last day, I decided to go on a cycling tour around Mount Daisen, a very famous mountain in and outside of Tottori
-
Mount Daisen was chosen as the third greatest summits in Japan
-
behind Mount Fuji and Mount Yarigatake in Gifu
-
so there are many neat places and things to do in and around Mount Daisen
-
from traditional temples to beautiful scenery and nature
-
Also, don't forget to try the delicious ice cream at the Daisen farm
-
After lunch have a stroll around the Daisen temple and learn about the culture and history behind this
-
Another relaxing place to go is to the Tottori flower park where you can see beautiful flowers all year-round
-
And lastly before I fly back to Tokyo
-
I had to try to Tottori's famous Kuroshi Wagyu beef
-
where all the cattles were raised in the natural environment of Mount Daisen
-
it was very soft and very delicious
-
So I definitely recommend you to try it if you're in Tottori
-
So I really really do encourage you guys to travel off the beaten path in Japan and you will find these amazing places
-
I will link my other
-
