    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 Wakasacho Yadora 37
    A workshop studio located a 15-minute walk from Wakasa Station on the Wakasa Railway. Visitors can join woodworking programs making use of the area's rich forest resources. The storehouse-style building is modeled after structures on Kura-dori and Kariya-dori streets typical of the Wakasa townscape. Through making kokeshi dolls or teacup saucers, you can get in touch with the wooden crafts that have long been a part of people's lives in the region. A small gallery and display room is used for art and craft exhibits.

    Tottori Yazu-gun Yazucho Tokumaru
    "An orchard catering to tourists near Roadside Station Hatto. Visitors can join in harvesting grapes, pears, apples, and chestnuts annually from late August to mid-November. Entry includes picking as much fresh and juicy seasonal fruit like pears and apples as you can eat with no time limit. The flavor of fruit raised on the clear waters of the Hatto River in the gorgeous mountains is outstanding. The whole Hatto area, which includes the orchard, is known as the ""Land of Fruit"" because it produces an abundance of Nijisseiki pears, Saijo persimmons, and more."
