Tottori Kurayoshi-shi Nakanocho 2960

"This ancient Buddhist is situated halfway up Mt. Utsubuki, symbol of Kurayoshi. The temple stands 300 meters up a steep mountain road; records state it was founded in the Nara period. The zushi miniature shrine in the main temple is one of only a very few in the San'in region to have been made in the late Muromachi period. The shrine houses an eleven-faced statue of Kannon, the temple's principal object of worship. Because of its collection of some 50 variously sized ema (votive tablets) offered to the temple between the Muromachi and Edo periods, the temple is also famously known as the ""Ema Temple."" The tablets are decorated with images which depict customs and folk beliefs from the various time periods they were made in. One of the most celebrated tablets in the temple's collection depicts a white horse which, according to legend, once ran free."

This is a temple of the Tendai Buddhist sect, with grounds on the 900 meters Mt. Mitoku. It is said that Enno Oguno was opened as a gyoba (practice site) for Shugendo mountain asceticism in 706, though details are scarce. It is famous for the Nageiredo sub temple built into the crevice of a sheer cliff, and even today details of the building method are not fully revealed making it a national treasure. Aside from the main temple, the grounds are dotted with halls designated important cultural properties including those for Monjudo and Jizodo. In the Homotsuden (treasure house) is Nageiredo’s original object of worship, a wooden standing statue of Zao Gongen. *Climbing to Nageiredo is currently prohibited because of the Tottori Prefecture Chubu Earthquake.

Tottori Kurayoshi-shi Sekiganecho Sekiganeshuku 1218

"This Buddhist temple dedicated to Kshitigarbha is located in Sekigane Onsen, a hot spring district whose history stretches back 1,300 years. Encircled by greenery, the temple enshrines a wooden statue depicting Kshitigarbha in the half lotus position which is affectionately known to locals as the ""Seki no Jizo-san."" Founded in 756, the temple is the oldest in the area and, according to legend, the great monk Kobo Daishi used the power of Buddhism to cause a miraculous spring to well forth on its grounds. The temple's massive statue of Kshitigarbha is 358 centimeters tall and is an impressive sight. The statue's exquisite detailing, including the clothing, severe facial expression, and powerful body from chest to abdomen are all characteristic of the Kamakura period in which it was made."

Tottori Kurayoshi-shi Saiwaicho 459-1

This longstanding Japanese confectionary shop was established in 1880. Inside a clean-looking establishment, the shop makes and sells Utsubuki Koen Dango dumplings, one of Kurayoshi City's most well-known confections. The dumplings are made with local refined rice flour and come in three colors/flavors: white white otebo bean paste, red azuki bean paste, and matcha green tea paste. In spite of their plain and simple appearance, these traditional treats have a rich flavor and are also made without the use of any additives whatsoever. The dumplings only keep for three days; meanwhile the shop's Oshidori no Chigiri, a dried confection created out of a desire to add a longer-lasting dried confection to the shop's lineup, are also popular. Customers can enjoy the shop's confections along with a cup of tea in the in-shop cafe space.

"Lake Togo is a brackish lake with a circumference of around 10 kilometers, located in central Tottori Prefecture, around five minutes' walk from JR Matsuzaki Station. The lake is also known as ""Crane Lake,"" because when viewed from Mt. Hachibuse it is said to resemble a crane with its wings spread wide to take flight; Lake Togo is included as one of the ""Eight Beautiful Sights of the San'in Region."" Hot springs bubble up both from the banks of the lake and from the lake bottom, and there are two Onsen (hot springs) resorts adjacent to the lake: Togo Onsen resort and the Hawai Onsen resort. There are a number of other interesting sights in the vicinity of Lake Togo, including Hoki Ichinomiya Shrine, Kofun burial mounds, orchards growing the delicious ""20th Century Pear"" variety of pears, etc. Renting a bicycle is a good way of getting around the area.

Sabo Kigi is a cafe located in the Misasa Onsen resort in Misasa Town, Tohaku County, Tottori Prefecture, and run by the Kiya Ryokan over the road.

In the corner of the shop is a gallery called ‘The Campanella Room’ which has materials on the author of children’s literature, Kenji Miyazawa and the poet, Rokuseki Kawamoto.
