Literally a different side of Japan!

Visited early July and when my feet (my fault for wearing rubber sandals) touched the sand at 8.30AM, it was so hot. So I suggest you visit this area early morning or very late afternoon to avoid the heat and watch the sunrise/sunset from here. I regret not sliding down on the beach side due to time constraints but was able to check the oasis (I recall seeing this on books when I was child and videos as a grown up).

Rode the loop bus from Tottori bus station and use the 1 day pass (600 yen) that was bought from the tourist information center (also in Tottori station). The ride was less than 30 minutes and you'll pass by different tourist spots which you may consider to visit afterwards.

The area is about 5 minutes walk to the Sand Museum and a bus ride to Uradome Sea Coast.
