    Tottori Yazu-gun Wakasacho Yadora 37
    A cultural facility located a 15-minute walk from Wakasa Station on the Wakasa Railway. Near the approach to Yadora village, it includes the Takumi-no-Yakata woodworking studio, the Sanbyakuda Family Residence (a prefectural designated Cultural Property), and the Wakasa Museum of History and Folklore. Most of the facilities are free to visit, making it an accessible way to experience the culture, tradition, and folk customs of Wakasa. The sight of the Wakasa townscape from the arbor at Wakasa Forest Park on the hill behind the facility is something special.

    若桜駅から少し距離がある山のふもとに、町内にかつて点在した建造物が移築されています。そのうちいくつかの建物の中には、歴史や民俗に関する資料が展示されていて、建物と合わせて、往時の若桜町を偲ぶことができます。駐車スペースもあり入場は無料なのがうれしいところです。

    Tottori Yazu-gun Chizucho Chizu 545
    A historic structure about a 10-minute walk from Chizu Station. It was built during the Meiji and Showa periods as a residence of the Ishitani branch family, which played a major role helping advance the local community through modern times. Originally a traditional merchant-style machiya structure, it was destroyed by fire in 1889 and later rebuilt around 1897. With a large alcove and long veranda facing the garden, its frontage is more extensive than other local merchant houses, telling of the family's former prosperity. It has been designated a National Tangible Cultural Property because, along with the attached Western-style house, it typifies the architectural processes of such residential structures.

    石谷家の大豪邸と街道を挟んで斜め向かいにある商家風町屋の伝統的建造物です。明治期に建てられたレトロな町家と見事な日本庭園を無料で見学できます。敷地内の洋館は西河克己映画記念館として公開されています。

    Tottori Pref. Yazugunwakasachou Iwayadou
    "Fudoin Iwayado Temple is located around 10 minutes' drive from Wakasa Station on the Wakasa Railway Line, or around one hour's drive from the Yamazaki Interchange of the Chugoku Expressway. Built in the Butai-zukuri style inside a natural cave, the temple ranks among the three largest Nageiredo hall in Japan. Hondo (Main Hall) was originally constructed in 806, and subsequently rebuilt during the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The larger temple of which it was part was burned down during an invasion of the region by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century, leaving only Fudoin Iwayado building, which has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property. The main object of veneration in the temple-a statue of Fudomyo (one of the Five Wisdom Kings)-was carved by Kobo Daishi at the age of 33, and is one of the ""Three Great Statues of Fudomyo"" in Japan; the general public are allowed to view the statue twice a year, during the Goma Hoyo ceremonies in March and July."

    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 Chizucho Chizu
    A post town on the old Chizu Orai highway, an important road connecting the Kinai and Inaba regions starting in the Nara period.

It had a tea shop, magistrate's office, and an official noticeboard. Machiya townhouses and signposts have been preserved that bring you back to another time. It's dotted with nationally designated Important Cultural Properties and Registered Tangible Cultural Properties, including the Ishitani Residence on a roughly 11,800-squre meter site with a Japanese garden, and the Shioyademise, a traditional merchant's townhouse with wonderful Japanese architecture.
