    Tottori Yazu-gun Chizucho Chizu 545
    A historic structure about a 10-minute walk from Chizu Station. It was built during the Meiji and Showa periods as a residence of the Ishitani branch family, which played a major role helping advance the local community through modern times. Originally a traditional merchant-style machiya structure, it was destroyed by fire in 1889 and later rebuilt around 1897. With a large alcove and long veranda facing the garden, its frontage is more extensive than other local merchant houses, telling of the family's former prosperity. It has been designated a National Tangible Cultural Property because, along with the attached Western-style house, it typifies the architectural processes of such residential structures.

    石谷家の大豪邸と街道を挟んで斜め向かいにある商家風町屋の伝統的建造物です。明治期に建てられたレトロな町家と見事な日本庭園を無料で見学できます。敷地内の洋館は西河克己映画記念館として公開されています。

    Tottori Saihaku-gun Daisencho Mikuriya
    "According to legend, what is now Mikuriya Port is where Emperor Go-Daigo arrived after risking his life the escape the Oki Islands after he had been exiled there by the shogunate army some 670 years ago. Having reached what is said to have then been called ""Nawa Harbor,"" the legend states that the tired emperor rested on a large boulder on the shore. Some 30 years ago, this area was underwater, but improvements to the surrounding fishing port resulted in the boulder rising approximately 1.4 meters above the ocean's surface, and today it is now once again situated on land. The boulder, along with a monument inscribed with a poem recorded to have been written by Emperor Go-Daigo, still looks out to sea today."

    Tottori Tottori-shi Kokufucho Okudani Miyashita
    This graveyard, located a 15-minute drive from Tottori Station, was for the Ikeda family, whose members served as lords of Tottori. Surrounded by a fence and situated amidst the abundant natural beauty of Inaba-Hoki, the graveyard encloses some 70 graves occupied by members of the Ikeda family, including 11 generations of lords, from Ikeda Mitsunami, the first lord of Tottori Domain, which was valued at 370 thousand square kilometers between Inaba and Hoki; to the 11th generation Ikeda Yoshitaka; as well as their wives. In the graveyard, there can be found the distinctive turtleback tombs of the lords, and, for other members of the family, two-tier grave markers, as well as stone markers which became standardized in the Edo period. Because the graveyard reveals the funeral customers of an Edo period samurai lord family and is of immense historical value, it has been designated a National Historic Site. Today, the graveyard is also a popular destination to view cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage in fall.

    Tottori Tottori-shi Kokufucho Chugo
    This Nara and Heian period site of a government office is located midway along the Fukuro River. In a 1977 architectural dig, the site of the main building, where government officials conducted government business, was discovered, as well as earthfast posts, earthenware, and porcelain. The site is around 150-meters-long east to west, and 200-meters-long north to south. It is believed that in each of the Nara, Heian, and Kamakura periods, the area flourished as a center of government and finance and that many buildings stood here. At the Inaba Manyo History Museum, a five-minute drive away, you can see a model of the facility reconstructed based on educated guesses, and examples of the kind of clothing people wore during the times the site was active.

    Tottori Tottori-shi Shikanocho Saiwai Sakari Terauchi
    "This is the tomb of Yamanaka (Yukimori) Shikanosuke, a military commander who devoted his life to the Amago clan in a world where it was common for inferiors to overthrow their superiors for personal gain. The tomb of the steadfast general is located on the grounds of the Koseiji Temple, whose name is derived from an alternate reading of ""Yukimori,"" Shikanosuke's other name. Shikanosuke fought numerous battles across the Chugoku region to restore the power of the Amago clan after they were defeated by the powerful Chugoku-based Mori clan; he was also the father-in-law of Kamei Korenori, lord of Shikano Castle. Korenori built the temple to comfort the soul of Shikanosuke. A 40-meter-tall ginkgo tree planted around the same time the tomb was built also stands on the grounds."
