Excursão Guiada de Dia Inteiro pelas Dunas de Areia de Osaka Tottori

This is a local tour group from HIS Japan, and the tours are generally conducted in Japanese. If there are foreign travelers who don't speak Japanese, the tour leader will use simple English to explain important information. I observed that foreign travelers might be arranged in the front seats, possibly for the convenience of the tour leader in explaining things. If you book the tour directly with HIS, there's an additional charge to specify front-row seating. The price of this tour on KLOOK was originally more expensive than on the HIS official website, but there was a 30% off promotion, so KLOOK ended up being cheaper. The one-way bus journey is about 2.5 hours, and the bus has four-row seating, which is a bit cramped. The seating chart is posted at the bus entrance, so you can check your seat when boarding. Lunch is about 1 hour, where we enjoyed a full crab meal. The ingredients were of average quality, but the presentation looked impressive. After lunch, we took a cable car to the sand dunes and played for 1 hour. The Tottori Sand Dunes are truly magnificent, and climbing up the 'horse's back' was quite a workout. Fortunately, the weather that day (March 1st) was excellent and not very cold. On the way, we also saw a spot where you could take photos with camels, which really made it feel like we were in a desert. Finally, at the souvenir shop in the center of the sand dunes, we bought some local Tottori specialties (such as 20th Century Pear cakes). Next, we visited the Hakuto Shrine, where the guide told us the story of the White Rabbit of Inaba, and we also shopped at the roadside rest stop nearby. The last stop was a 160-year-old tofu chikuwa shop, where almost all products were available for tasting, and free soy milk and water were provided. On the way back, we also ate croquettes, which are said to be a local specialty, at the Akamatsu rest stop. Overall, it was a very good experience, and I hope to arrange a more in-depth trip to Tottori in the future.

This tour was a local group tour. On the day of departure, there were two large groups, all locals, and the guide only spoke Japanese. However, the guide was well-prepared, having printed out Chinese introductions for each attraction and clearly indicating the meeting times for each spot on slips of paper. The crab meal was incredibly generous, with a whole crab plus various dim sum, which was very satisfying. The sand dunes and the Sand Museum were also great experiences 😊 but I wish the visiting time could have been longer, as it felt a bit rushed. The transportation arrangements were also comfortable, with several short rest stops during the long journey. This itinerary was very satisfying 😌

A delightful trip! The crab lunch was incredibly rich and delicious, and the Tottori Sand Dunes were truly unique. Although the tour guide only spoke Japanese, communication was not an issue with a translation device. If you're looking for a comfortable day trip to the suburbs, I highly recommend it.

food was good. sand dunes ok, if only the museum was open, would be nice to see. tour bus was great!
