The Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography showcases the works of world-famous photographer Shoji Ueda, who was born in Tottori Prefecture. Ueda’s photographs of subjects set against the backdrop of the San’in region’s big skies and imposing sand-dunes won renown as the “Ueda-cho” (“Ueda style”). There is plenty to see at the Museum, including the pond, which reflects an inverted image of Mt. Daisen, and the Museum Cinema, which is decorated with the world’s largest camera lens. The Museum Shop sells an extensive range of souvenir gifts.

Reviewed:2017/12/17 Contemporary designed museum

The museum design attracts us to place a visit. We saw many beautiful photos taken by Mr. Shoji Ueda.

There is photo-shooting spots that attracts many visitors - the water reflection of Mt. Daisen.
