ゴールデンウィークバーベキューにいきました。バーベキュー会場は屋根があって、広々としていいです。予約して、お肉を頼んでおくと、炭をいれてくれ、皿も紙皿でなく、お冷もあり、タレもおいしかったです。コロナ制限解除後で、小さい子供連れが沢山おり、賑わっていました。バーベキュー場所近くで、コイン式の子供遊具があり、音が耳障りで、やはり子供が乗りたがるのが星ー1です。

A history museum in a red brick building that you can spot from far away. The Western-style building with a tiled exterior was built in 1930 and used to be Yonago City Hall.

A footbath in front of the Yonago City Tourism Center. It was expanded in 2017, with additions of a wooden deck area and benches.

The tourist center has a limited number of free towels available for use, but it's recommended that you bring your own.

Tottori Yonago-shi Kuzumo 5-6-22

"Legend says San'in's oldest garden was visited by Emperor Go-Daigo when he was exiled to the Oki Islands at the fall of the Kamakura shogunate. It's one of only two early Edo period ""crane and tortoise"" gardens left in the country, the other being at Kyoto's Saihojji Temple, also known as the moss temple. The small ornamental pond style garden has a bit of a Horai Garden feel. Designed after natural scenery, the pond has an island representing ""Shinsen Island"" as a prayer for prosperity. Designs that became formalized in the Edo period can be seen throughout the garden; it has been registered as a National Site of Scenic Beauty. Be sure to call in advance before visiting."

人が住んでいるようにも思いますが、庭の方には自由に入れる仕組みです。ここは、後醍醐天皇が隠岐の島に配流の際に立ち寄ったという言い伝えも持つ庭。池を中心に松の枝ぶりも独特の趣きだし、とっても風情がありますねえ。一見の価値ありです。
