Name of restaurant: Umi Address: 267-1 Bessho, Kotoura-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Budget per person: 980 yen and up Rating (out of 5): ★★★★★ Points: *This restaurant is located right next to Port Akasaki, a roadside station in Tottori Prefecture. *It's located right between Tottori City and Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture (both are about an hour by car), and it's a restaurant I love so much that I always stop by when I go on a road trip to Tottori or Shimane. *It's reasonably priced but serves high-quality seafood. It can get quite crowded depending on the time of day, so try to go at a different time or with plenty of time to spare! (The seafood bowl in the photo is a mosa shrimp bowl, 1750 yen) #Gourmet #Tottori Prefecture #Gourmet trip #Seafood bowl #Breathtaking view #Western Japan #Photogenic spot

If you're planning a culinary adventure in Japan, you absolutely must turn your attention to the glittering waters of the Seto Inland Sea. Often called the "Mediterranean of Japan" for its mild climate and stunning island-dotted scenery, this tranquil body of water is also a thriving hub for some of the freshest, most flavorful fish you can imagine! What makes the Seto Inland Sea's fish so special? The strong tidal currents here mean the fish are constantly swimming, resulting in incredibly firm and delicious flesh. You'll find a remarkable variety, from the prized 🐠 sea bream (tai), often enjoyed in "tai-meshi" (sea bream rice), to succulent 🐙 octopus from Mihara, and even seasonal delights like 🐠 Spanish mackerel (sawara). Whether you prefer your fish as delicate sashimi, grilled to perfection, or simmered in a local dish 🐠 , the Seto Inland Sea promises an unforgettable seafood experience. Get ready to savor the taste of the ocean! #tai #fish #sashimi #sashimilover #sawara

I went to a cafe right next to Nariishi Beach in Tottori Prefecture! ! I went there after 3pm, but the restaurant was almost full! At first, I sat in an empty seat✨ The seats here were also cute, but I wanted to sit at a seat with a view of the ocean, and when I asked the staff, I was told that I could move to a seat by the window if one became available, so I moved seats halfway through✨ The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and I could see the ocean, so I was able to relax! ! I also enjoyed the pudding🍮 and tiramisu✨ Nariishi Beach is right next to this cafe, so it's recommended to stop by while sightseeing✨ [Jifkel] 📍Address: 1053-11 Akasaki, Kotoura-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture 689-2501 🕰️Business hours: Check Instagram 🏖️Atmosphere: A calm space with a view of the ocean #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

#springwander It is a shrine dedicated to Heihachiro Togo, who was active as a commander of the Japanese Navy, and is located near Harajuku Station. Although it is located in the middle of the city, the precincts of about 8,600 tsubo are rich in nature and surrounded by tranquillity. It was founded in 1940, and after the death of Heihachiro Togo, it was created by requests and donations from all over the country.

#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day The sea caves on the Wushi Coast seem to be the work of nature, with natural caves of strange shapes carved out from the huge rock piles. 🏞️Walking into the cave, you can hear the echoing sound of waves crashing in, as if a natural symphony is being performed here. This coastline is dotted with a large stretch of golden fine sand, the sand is as smooth as silk, and leaves behind a series of footprints longing for the seaside. 🏖️Not far away there is a huge reef extending into the sea, shining brightly under the sunlight, so dreamy. The most amazing thing, of course, is the stunning sunset view of this coast every evening. 🌇When the sunset falls into the sea, the whole sky is dyed a brilliant orange-red with flaming clouds, and the sea is also reflected in it, as if it is inlaid with a whole piece of flowing fiery red gems! Under such a natural wonder, it is no wonder that everyone is fascinated by it, and they keep exclaiming in admiration! Trip.com Diamond members can use the Lounge for free when booking flights

The entire beach at Nariishi Beach in Kotoura-cho, Tottori Prefecture, is filled with large round stones! There is a parking lot along the road, so it is easy to stop by✨ The stones are piled up and standing with exquisite balance, and it was a mysterious sight😌 Please be careful not to fall if you do not watch your step! There are also photos on the beach of intermediate and advanced versions of how to set up stones, so if you have time, please try it☺️ The wind was quite strong and the waves were rough on this day, so I could not hear the sound of the stones very much, so I would like to visit on a calm day♪ 📍1929-11 Akasaki, Kotoura-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture #TottoriTrip #TottoriTourism #NariishiBeach

Kanzaki Shrine in Tottori Prefecture is a shrine with wonderful wooden dragon carvings. There is a parking lot within the shrine grounds, but the road on the way there is narrow and cars cannot pass each other, so please be careful. There is also a free parking lot on the coast, so if you don't like narrow spaces, I recommend using that. 2024 is the year of the dragon, so many people visited this shrine. The dragon's wooden carvings are on the ceiling, so please pay attention to the top. The area directly below the ball held by the dragon is a power spot, and there is a sign. Please stand there and take a look. Since it was New Year's, there was someone who explained the wood carvings to us. There were also various other wood carvings, such as Ryugu Castle and Urashima Taro. 📍210 Akasaki, Kotoura-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture #Tottori trip #Kanzaki Shrine #Shrine tour
