however this place has

everything

Since it's located along the coastline of the sea of Japan you can enjoy the best of both worlds

the Sea and the Mountains and

Also, not to mention Japan's most famous engine is here in Tottori as well

Apart from the wide range of Outdoor activities you can also experience a more common and traditional side to Tottori

learning history and culture

Meet the friendly locals

And try out the fresh and delicious local cuisine

And I have got to say out of the 32 or 47 prefectures

I have visited in Japan Tottori is now definitely one of my top three personal favourites

So every time to step off the beaten path and discover to Tottori

Access here is easy with direct flights from tokyo

Direct buses from most of the major cities will get you here and trains running from many areas such as Kyoto and Osaka

Now let's go to our first stop. Which is a restaurant surrounded by forest

Miteki-En servers organic Japanese cuisine and lets you enjoy your meal outside surrounded by a very peaceful atmosphere

First of all, yeah we review under your device and I need to take a look

okay

We're going to sit here and eat plants

next we're heading to the coast of Satori and the best way to travel around Tottori is actually by a rental car

However buses and trains can also get you to these locations

Uradome Coast is popular for clear waters, so I decided to try out the clear Kayaks

we're ready to go

Uradome Coast is designated as one of Japan natural treasures and is voted as one of Japan's best Coastlines

the coast has many sites to see like caves

cliffs and Lad rocks of unusual shapes there are also boat tours that go around the coast however

I wanted to see the site up close and personal so I decided to go on the clear kayaks

it's Also a very popular place for those who love snorkeling and diving

so today wasn't so clear but if it was on a clear day we could see all the way down to the-

the transparency is like 25 five meters

oh wow, that's a lot

not many foreigners come here so I want you to know this place and come and enjoy the beautiful ocean

Next it's my favorite time of the day, dinner time! and we're going to go to this restaurant where ShabuShabu was originated

day 2 we got up bright and early and headed to the famous Tottori Sand Dunes for some fun!

These Sand Dunes are the largest Sand Dunes in Japan and if you happen to visit here

Don't just see it but try out the many activities that can be done here like paragliding sand boarding

Sunrise Yoga and so much more

It's so heavy

This is a good morning, workout.

Super super fun experience

I mean the first time I

Landed and I landed right on my stomach and then I got all the said like in my pants now

But the second and third time I got my landing right so a big round of applause for me, the sun's coming out it's getting hot

let's go to our next location

Tottori is well known for their delicious pears, so we can't go home without trying out the pears

Okay, let's go pick some pears now

oh

It's so sweet and it's so juicy

And if you come to Tottori you should definitely check out the indoor sand museum

It's so big-it's bigger than I thought

Next we headed over to the fish market for some lunch

Being so close to the sea, Tottori has a lot of fresh seafood you can enjoy

The restaurant we went to lets you enjoy seafood at it's freshest as they catch the fish right out of the tank in front of you

This restaurant specialty is their raw squid and my local friends recommended me to try it so let's see how that goes

So if you squeeze lemon and put it here, the legs will apparently come alive

It's like it's dancing

Actually I don't really like

raw

Squid, but I'm gonna do it for you guys and since I'm in Tottori right now

oh

It's not as slimy as I thought it would be

Afterwards we got the squid legs deep-fried and there are also

many other fresh sea-food you can try out if you're not a fan of raw squid.but actually the squid was pretty good

It didn't have a slimy texture or strong taste, and it was a really fun experience overall

Next we have come to this place which specializes in making Japanese paper, and we're going to take a class to make a lampshade

This type of Japanese paper is tougher than ordinary paper because it's made from wood pulp

and this is what it should look like when you put it in your room

And lastly we will be spending the night in a hot springs town and staying in the traditional Japanese Inn

I Love to stay in a Japanese Inn

But I love the atmosphere more when it's in a hot spring town, and you can just go down for a nice peaceful stroll

So peaceful here listening to the sound of the water

This is such a beautiful onsen town really it is, and at nighttime

They've got a festival going on so I'm really looking forward to that

And there's nothing better than ending your day with a nice traditional Japanese meal

Staying in the Japanese Inn truly gives you the whole Japanese experience

So I recommend staying at Japanese Inn at least once in your life

Also check out the hot spring town at night because the shops open and the town comes more alive

I hope you guys enjoyed part one of my Tottori trip and part 2 will be coming out very soon

put your life on the edge
