11/12/2021 ( Saturday) (15:30) Beautiful and amazing place to go with family or friends. If you live in japan 🇯🇵 do visit Tottori for this beautiful human made Sand dunes 🏜. The evening is really very beautiful. Car 🚗 parking is free for whole day and this is the best thing I love . There is no entry fee it’s totally free . Toilets 🚽 are available and clean 🧼. Wheelchair ♿️ is not ok as wheelchair can not take it to desert . Their are stairs to go to desert area so be careful if you come with elder 🧓 people . Their are many souvenir shops near by the sand dunes that are in road . The Sand Museum is very near and 5 mins walk from sand dunes . The camel 🐪 ride is for 1-2 mins for ¥1500 I think it’s expensive though but for your first time experience it can be fun . Their is paragliding service also that starts from ¥20000 ~ and onwards . Their are sitting 🪑 rail kind of thing I don’t what to say but you can experience the view while sitting and can go up to Terrance and it costs ¥400 for round trip and ¥300 for one way and I took and it is really worth the price . Camel 🐫 ride last time is 15:30 so do come on time otherwise you cannot ride . If it is rainy 🌧 or windy 🌬 the camels 🐫 are not out and their will be no camel ride on that day so make sure to make your trip wisely . Other than that the sand dunes view is mesmerizing and beautiful 🤩. You will need to walk a lot if you want to see whole desert and climb 🧗‍♀️ till up and see the ocean 🌊 so better come in comfortable dress and shoes 👟. Better carry 💰 as japan 🇯🇵 is cash country 😅. I think is a bus 🚌 facility also from tottori station 🚉 to sand dunes . Must go and share your experience. Vending machine is available but...
