We booked an overnight stay in Tottori just to check out Conan Town and this museum. We knew the commute would be long but if you plan to come here, be sure to plan accordingly. The train times from Tottori to Yura Station are pretty far apart. Try to catch the Super Hakuto because it is the most direct ride. Otherwise, you will have transfers and waits between transfers, and the stations in between are small with no food options. From Yura back to Tottori, you have to buy the tickets with cash.

While I didn’t enjoy the Tottori Station area as much because of the limited English on the bus stops, many closed shops on the weekdays, I really liked the area where this museum is. It has a very different / rural feel compared to other areas. You can rent a bike and enjoy the views. Of course, it makes more sense when you’re a Conan fan.

We walked through the museum quickly as we had a train to catch but we enjoyed the interactive exhibits. You can take Conan themed sticker pictures in the gift shop next door, which was our favorite souvenir.

On the way back, we stopped by the Conan House shopping center for a Conan burger lunch, which was pretty good. If you plan it right, Conan town can be a nice stop while in Japan.
