One of the coolest museums in I’ve seen in Japan. Had no idea sand sculpting was such an interesting art. Artists from around the world create the works displayed at the museum. And it changes each year. They have posters on display of previous themes based on regions in the world. I went during the South Asia theme, which ended in January 2020. You can get close enough to touch the works, which of course you can’t touch them because they are sand. Talk about impermanent art. After walking around among the sculptures, go up to the next floor to view it from above. The place is actually quite small, but so is the fee. It’s worth it. Take a walk outside, too, to check out a few more sand works protected only by tents. You can get a discounted Sand Museum ticket with the tourist Loop Kirinjishi Bus pass bought at Tottori Station.

I bought my ticket at the entrence, and there was a free parking lot (though a bit busy). I think this was a great stop on my trip, and I would love to go back when they do a new theme. This time it was France (probably because of the Olympics) and the sand art was simply mind blowing! The amount of detail in each piece is astounding! I also liked that on the second floor you can see images of old themes they did. they had a gift shop plus a sweets/omiyage shop right outside the building. I think this is a wheelchair accessible spot, it had wide flat paths and an elevator for each floor.
