    常設展示では鳥取の歴史がよくわかり、カフェもついていてよい感じです。鳥取城と仁風閣のすぐ近くなので一緒にまわるのがおすすめ。とてもリフレッシュできました。車は県庁北側に無料駐車場があって便利です。

    Tottori Pref. Tottorishi Uemachi 88
    The Ochidani district of Tottori City has several temples that were associated with the lords that ruled the Tottori domain in times gone by. The Tottori City History Museum (Yamabikokan), which is located in a corner of the Ouchidani District, provides an introduction to the history and culture of the Tottori region. Besides the permanent exhibitions, the Museum also holds thematic exhibitions and special exhibitions relating to Tottori. In early summer, the Museum is open in the evenings on certain days so that visitors can view fireflies in the Museum grounds.

    公営の博物館なので入館料も安いです。高校生以下や70歳以上などは無料なので子供と一緒だとちょっとお得です。また企画展示も行われていることがあり、その際もセット（企画展と常設展示）でも料金は安いです。興味のある企画展示の時を狙っていくのもいいです。

They also hold workshops in making the paper dolls, and you can bring them home with you when you finish. You can write a wish on special charms and save them for the next ceremony too.

    まず、重厚な木造建築の建物があまりにも立派なことに驚かされました。館内には江戸時代からのお雛様が展示されていて、それぞれが形や表情に違いがあり、見ごたえたっぷりでした。館内にある庭園を眺めながら食事ができる喫茶もおすすめです。

    Tottori Yazu-gun Yazucho Nishidani Funaoka Takebayashi Park
    The first mini steam locomotive museum in Japan, where 18 steam locomotives (SL) are on display at Funaoka Chikurin Park (which has one of the country's leading bamboo groves). Actually powered by burning coal, all of the mini SLs are handmade. The trains change every weekend and run through the seasonal garden in the park. The various models will excite train enthusiasts, including a D51 type steam locomotive (a leading model of the former Japanese National Railways), a superheated steam tank locomotive C21, and a classic British steam train called Royal Scot Class by the former London, Midland and Scottish Railway .

    展示は、一部屋だけで、小さい子が乗れる列車が、あるだけです。 京都鉄道博物館を見てるだけに、いまいちでした。ミニのSLの模型だけでなく、買えるSLもたくさん置いて欲しいです。紙のSLが500円でした。

    Tottori Yazu-gun Wakasacho Wakasa 430

    カリヤ通りを散策していた際に見掛けて立寄ってみました。「若桜宿」統一表記がありレトロ建築保存を兼ねて町並みに溶け込んでいるようでした。但し、時節柄訪問客は僅かのようで、特段おもちゃに興味があったわけではないので建物外観見学だけと相成りました。
