    Tottori Tottori-shi Kawaharacho Tanihitotsugi 1011
    This tourist information center was opened in 1994 to serve as a local symbol as part of an area revitalization project. The reconstructed castle is built on the site where Toyotomi Hideyoshi placed his encampment during the subjugation of Inaba Province in 1580. Divided into three levels inside, the facility presents the history, culture, and plant and animal life of Tottori City's Kawahara-cho. From the terrace observatory on top of the castle, visitors can get a sweeping view of the area's seasonally changing scenery and, on clear days, see all the way to the Tottori Sand Dunes and the mountains of Chugoku. There are some 800 plum trees planted around the castle and in early spring many tourists come here to see their beautiful blossoms.

    鳥取市河原町の小高い丘の上に建つ模擬(再建)城郭で、正式名称は丸山城。 車で頂上まで登れますが現在道路工事中で迂回路が通ってます、頂上には駐車場があります。(我々は下から徒歩で登って行ったので、結構ハードでした) 入場料は300円ですが、65歳以上で無料でした。 平日の午前中で殆ど他にお客さんは居ませんでした。 お城自体は鉄筋コンクリートで、資料館+展望台となってます。

    Tottori Pref. Tottorishi Sajichoutakayama 1071-1
    This observatory has the leading 103 cm reflecting telescope in Japan and a planetarium. In the daytime, visitors can view planetarium projection and daytime stars, and sun observation society events are held. During the night visitors can enjoy observing the starry night sky from the telescope at the accommodation facility.

    星の観察会、月の観察会、学芸員さんの丁寧な説明もあり充実しています。設備もこんな田舎に凄い!と思うほどで入館料も300円位だったような。市内から40分ほどかかりますがお勧めです。

    This is a key hanging pass that overlooks the southern slope of Mt. Oyama, located at an altitude of 910 meters. The scenery of the exposed mountain surface contrasting with the beech and maple forest stained red and yellow, is magnificent. Many people visit during the autumn season.
