    Tottori Tottori-shi Karocho Nishi 3-13-7
    This crab cuisine restaurant is located close the Tottori Port. Here you can enjoy fresh seafood chosen by the discerning eye of an experienced fish monger at the Tottori Port. The Aranami Kaiseki course meal is particularly popular as it gives you the chance to enjoy a wide selection of the restaurant's delicious cuisine in one sitting, and comes with an appetizer, seafood savory egg custard, sashimi, fish simmered in soy sauce, and an deep-fried dish. The Tairiku Bento is a daily lunch special which comes with a grilled or simmered fish dish; as its content varies daily, many of the restaurant's regulars order it practically every day. Another well-reviewed choice, only available from November to March, is the Takumi champagne crab kaiseki full course meal, which allows diners to fully savor the champagne crab that is a wintertime tradition in Tottori.

    "This is the restaurant of Yamadaya, a longstanding Karo Port inn which has been in business for over 200 years. Here customers can enjoy fresh, seasonally-inspired seafood cuisine; along with a view of the port town of Karo and ships and seabirds coming and going. The restaurant's signature squid rice bowl is touted as being the original and is also featured on the restaurant's sign; the popular dish is topped with an abundance of the area's famous ""white squid,"" which has a highly sweet and rich flavor. The rice itself is mixed with teriyaki-broiled squid tentacles and organ meat; in turn, white squid sashimi is elegantly arranged on top. Add the accompanying squid pickles with koji malted rice, shiokara salted squid guts, and secret recipe sauce to enjoy an even more flavorful meal. Even meals for dinner are reservation-only, so prospective customers must contact the restaurant in advance."

    こちらの方が新しく色々工夫されています。最近ではWさんよりこちらを利用される方が多いようです。新鮮なカニがお腹いっぱい食べられ県外の人をもてなすには最高です。

    Tottori Tottori-shi Yoshikata Onsen 4-432
    This yakiniku grilled meat and offal restaurant is located an eight-minute drive from Tottori Station. The establishment exudes an old-timey atmosphere; inside, customers can enjoy horu soba, one of Tottori's favorite comfort foods. Horu soba has been a favorite in the eastern part of Tottori Prefecture for half a century and consists of fried noodles made with beef offal. The origins of the dish are said to date back to around 1960 when vegetables, miso sauce, and offal were fried together and added to Chinese noodles. In this restaurant, customers can add as much sauce as they like to the noodles cooking on the griddle in front of them, making it possible to make your noodles as strongly or lightly flavored as you like. Customers rave that once you experience the merger of plump offal with chewy noodles, you'll be hooked.

    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.

    "This small temple, made of tuff, stands on a hill on the southwest side of the Okamasu district. When it was made and by whom is unclear, and as such it is called the ""mystery stone temple."" The symmetrical temple consists of a one-meter-high base on which sits a central capstone surrounded by stone walls 40-centimeters-thick. One theory says it's a part of the facilities of the ruined Okamasu Temple, while according to another it is the grave of Emperor Antoku, and in 1896 it was designated the prospective tomb of the emperor and is managed by the Imperial Household Agency."

    Tottori Tottori-shi Kokufucho Matsuo 55
    "This temple was once part of the seven structure compound of the Kakeizan Koryoji, a temple built here during the Wado era (708-715). The temple enshrines a tripartite statue of Bhaisajyaguru and one of Kisshoten. The statue of Bhaisajyaguru, in particular, the temple's principal object of worship, is believed to have miraculous properties, and it is only revealed to the public once every 12 years. Together, the four statues are the only designated National Important Cultural Properties in Tottori City. According to legend, during a fire which destroyed the temple during the Warring States period, locals brought out the statue of Bhaisajyaguru and covered it with grass and soil to protect it, leading to it coming to be called the ""Bhaisajyaguru of the Dirt Temple."""

    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.

    "This Japanese washi paper studio is located in Saji-cho, a district rich in natural beauty and surrounded by mountain and river. The studio makes and sells Inshu washi, a traditional paper which is stated to have even been presented to the emperor in the ancient, Heian-period compilation of government regulations called the ""Engi-shiki."" Made using the bast fibers of paper mulberry, Oriental paper bush, and Diplomorpha sikokiana, washi leverages the innate qualities of natural fibers to produce a paper that is elegant, supple, and elastic to the touch. The techniques of making Inshu washu have only been passed down in Tototri City's Saji-cho and Aoya-cho; during the Edo period, the paper was widely used for official documents by the Tottori Domain government, and by the common people as well. The studio can be identified by its triangular roof. The studio offers a paper making activity as well."

    "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."
