FAQ
We recommend comfortable and easy-to-walk shoes such as sneakers or hiking boots to prevent sand from getting in. In summer, please bring sun protection items (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen) and wear breathable clothing. In winter, you'll need to stay warm with a windproof jacket and waterproof shoes, as the dunes can accumulate snow and be slippery, with a lower perceived temperature.
Yes, you can experience camel riding at Tottori Sand Dunes. Services for camel rides and photo opportunities are available near the dunes, allowing you to create unique memories amidst the vast sandy landscape. This is one of the local area's popular activities, offering visitors a chance to interact closely with these gentle animals.
Tottori Sand Dunes are charming in all four seasons. Spring and autumn (around April-May and October-November) offer pleasant weather, ideal for extended exploration. While summer (July-August) can be hot, it boasts spectacular sunset views. In winter (December-February), you might witness unique snow-covered dunes, presenting a distinct silvery-white world.
Yes, Tottori Sand Dunes do experience snowfall in winter. When snowflakes cover the sand, they form unique 'snow-covered dunes,' creating a dreamlike, silvery-white landscape that differs from the usual impression and is well worth seeing. However, temperatures drop significantly during this time, so be sure to dress warmly.
When visiting Tottori Sand Dunes in winter, it is essential to dress warmly. In addition to layering clothing and wearing a windproof jacket, we recommend waterproof and non-slip shoes to cope with potentially snow-covered and slippery surfaces. Furthermore, daylight hours are shorter in winter, and the sea breeze can be strong, making the perceived temperature even lower, so special attention to staying warm is necessary.
To fully appreciate the grandeur and unique features of Tottori Sand Dunes, we recommend allocating approximately 2 to 2.5 hours for your visit. This duration is sufficient for climbing the dunes, enjoying the Sea of Japan views, experiencing a camel ride, and capturing beautiful scenery from the dune crests. You can also visit the Sand Museum nearby.
The most common way to travel from Osaka to Tottori Sand Dunes is by taking a JR Limited Express train to Tottori Station, then transferring to a local bus or taxi. If you wish to avoid the hassle of transfer planning, joining a bus day tour from Osaka is a more convenient option, as these tours typically include direct transportation, allowing you to reach your destination with ease.
In addition to camel riding, you can also try sandboarding (requires reservation) or paragliding during specific seasons at Tottori Sand Dunes. Most visitors choose to climb to the 'Horse's Back' (Uma no Se) for a panoramic view of the magnificent Sea of Japan and to take plenty of photos. The world-class Sand Museum is also worth visiting next to the dunes.
