The view of the majestic cliffs
The rugged cliff eroded by rough waves stretches about 1 km. It has a tremendous scene of the cliff, making visitors feel week at the knees, with the cliff continually washed by aggressive waves of the Sea of Japan. The enormous rock pillar made of columnar jointing of pyroxene andesite is the only one of its kind in Japan, but there are only two others in the world. It is designated as a natural monument. The gigantic 25 m-high and 1 km-long precipitous cliff makes one of the best landscapes in the Kansai area.

Artistic beauty of nature created by the sand and wind
The Tottori Sand Dunes offer various sceneries, which are sometimes dynamic and other times tranquil. Visitors will find fumon, saren, and other picturesque patterns formed by the wind on the sand. These patterns change every time the wind blows, creating an artistic beauty of nature. Especially in the early morning, visitors may be overwhelmed by the scale and beauty of the dunes, whose entire surface is embellished with the wind-swept patterns newly created on the sand overnight and not yet walked upon. The dunes also offer a breathtaking view of the sunset over the Sea of Japan, enabling visitors to enjoy the subtle and constantly changing colors of the sea and sky.
