Introducing Tottori
Tottori is a large, busy city a few kilometres inland but it’s a good jumping-off point to explore the area’s seaside wonders like Tottori’s sand dunes, the main draw here. The principal coast road passes through the city’s northern fringe in a blizzard of car dealers, pachinko parlours and fast-food outlets. There is a helpful tourist information booth (22-3318; 117 Higashi Honji-chō; 9.30am-6.30pm) inside the station, with English-language pamphlets and maps. For internet access, try Comic Buster Dorothy (27-7775; 2-27 Tomiyasu; per 30min/3hr ¥280/980; 24hr) southeast of the station.
