Tottori

We wanted to catch the bus going to Tottori but unfortunately it was all full. The Japanese were surprisingly rebellious during Silver Week. We got on a train and got off the station and we missed another train which set us back another hour until we got on the express going to Tottori. The ride was very relaxing, taking us into the mountains and farmlands, surrounded by tall trees and rivers. All in all, a good way to rest and recuperate.

We got to Tottori and wanted to have a quick lunch but decided we didn't have the time so we just got on the bus going towards the sand dunes. The traffic was insane and it took almost an hour just for a supposed 15 minute ride, we decided to just get off and walk and got to a part of the sand dunes that didn't have a lot of people just because everyone went to the mainstream entrance. We were very lucky and capitalized the moment to have the sand dunes all for ourselves. The ocean was just right beyond the dune's horizon and oddly enough, there was a furry right in the middle of the desert. I took a photo with him of course. There were some flowers growing near the sand hills as well. We spent some time going around and decided to get a bus and start heading back. We got some food from the convenience store and were now on our way back to Osaka after a long day.Read more
