[2025 Kurayoshi Attraction] Travel Guide for Kurayoshi White Wall Warehouses (Updated Jul)

#Spring0yenTrip First, in Kurayoshi, we walked around the white-walled storehouses. The beautiful streets are lined with red tiles and white walls, and the murmuring of the irrigation channels and the swaying willows create a comfortable tranquility. There are many shops that make use of old storehouses, so we were able to enjoy the local atmosphere while strolling. After that, we visited the abandoned track of the former JNR Kurayoshi Line. The tracks and platforms remaining in the bamboo forest and the tunnels quietly standing in the quiet mountains are impressive, and it's no wonder they are called "Japan's most beautiful abandoned track." The sight of the bamboo growing out of the gaps in the tracks made us feel the natural flow of time.

#Domestic Travel Tips

Located in the townscape of white-walled storehouses in Tottori Prefecture, [Akagawara Gogokan Kyuraku] is a cafe where you can drink stone-milled coffee and stylish drinks. The first floor of the store is covered with stones, and there are stone mills available! ! It seems that there are seats on the second floor, and there are toilets, so you can rest assured! ! They also have cute dumplings, so please try them when you eat in♩ The take-out bottles for drinks are cute✨ The colorful jelly drinks are recommended! #TottoriTrip #KurayoshiCafe The jelly doesn't absorb well, so please mix it well before drinking Business hours 9:30-16:30 📍2424-2 Shinmachi 1-chome, Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture #TravelwithMe

#thingstodo We did a one hour tour at Kurayoshi "Shirakabe" White Warehouses in Tottori on our 30th anniversary trip, and it was fascinating! The warehouses were from various eras from Edo to Meiji, with glass that was warped due to the manufacturing methods of the day. The guide showed us all the various differences from era to era, which was really cool. The red "Sesshu" tiles looked lovely against the white walls, and black burnt cedar wood skirtings, and it was great to learn about the architectural style of these protected buildings. One oddity was that several shops had life sized "sexy anime mascot girl" cutouts in their store fronts. Maybe "otaku" types would like it, but, these were jarring and added nothing to the history or attraction of the place. Our regret here was that we wished the tour let us have time to browse a bit as there was a craft beer brewery shop, a cool looking café, gallery, local goods, and others which were beckoning. Also it was raining. They say “in Tottori, even if you forget your bento, don’t forget an umbrella” because the wet is so unpredictable.
