2025 Hoki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#art gallery This art museum is located at the foot of the mountain The mountains are to Tottori what Shizuoka is to Mount Fuji. The glass in the museum is also affixed with the black hat that is the masterpiece of Masaharu Ueda. When the weather is nice, you can even take pictures of the mountains wearing black hats! Masaru Ueda is a well-known photographer in Japan and a native of Tottori. Therefore, many of the photos were taken with the Tottori Sand Dunes as the background and with family members as the main characters. This museum collects a large number of his works from early to late period Take a closer look at the exhibition room and you will feel like you have traveled to Tottori in a photo. What’s interesting is that there is also an exhibition room designed here that allows visitors to experience the feeling of being in the camera. You can see that the large lens in the exhibition room is aimed at the mountain and reflects it inside the exhibition room. You can imagine that we sitting in the exhibition room are the characters of the film, recording the mountain at the moment of the lens. There is also a hot dog cafe outside the museum. The signature is the 60CM super long hot dog burger! The buns on the hot dog burgers are crispy and chewy. There is green grass in front of the cafe, and the mountains are right in front of you. There are also picnic mats provided so you can sit directly on the grass to eat. It’s a good place to take a break after visiting the art museum. #dopamine travel #100 ways to travel #tottori #tottoriview #Uedamasaharu #日本 #大山

Mt. Daisen is the highest peak in the Chugoku region and one of the top three famous mountains in Japan. 🏔️ At the foot of the mountain, we visit the "Makiba Milk Village" ranch and leisure facility, which is surrounded by abundant nature. 🐄 This is a place where you can fully enjoy the natural beauty of Mt. Daisen. ✨ In the pasture area, many cows that have grown up in the great outdoors are grazing, and an open pasture landscape spreads out before your eyes! In the attached restaurant, you can enjoy farm gourmet food made with plenty of fresh milk and dairy products from the area! *I ordered a special steak bowl made with beef from Shimane Prefecture 🤤 It was thick and juicy, and I finished it in no time lol The Shirobara coffee and Shirobara milk on the drink menu were also rich and flavorful, and I ended up drinking more than three cups because I could have as many refills as I wanted 🥛 The shop next to the restaurant sells many products that are unique to this place, and it was a wonderful leisure facility where you can eat and buy in the middle of nature 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚗] About 2 hours by car from Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport [Business hours 🕰️] 10:00-17:00 *Closed on Tuesdays -————————————— #Domestic travel #Tottori Prefecture #Tottori trip #Tottori sightseeing #Tottori trip #Mt.

A must-see spot in Hoki Town: Daisen Ranch, the hometown of milk! Dashan Ranch Milk Hometown is a ranch that raises dairy cows, but because we visited in winter, we did not see any cows. Despite this, Dashan Ranch is still worth a visit! There is a huge grassland inside where children can run and jump freely. Of course, they must have a milk ice cream. The milk ice cream is made from ranch milk and has a rich milky aroma and a smooth taste. Don’t miss it when you come here! The restaurant and souvenir shop are all European-style wooden buildings, and it feels a bit like being in the European countryside! Daisen Ranch also has a geographical advantage. Here you can appreciate the "Daisen" also known as "Izumo Fuji" from a closer distance. The view is first-class! #AprilGoodDestinations2025

Dashan milk is famous throughout the country, so this time we specially arranged a trip to Dashan Ranch, the hometown of milk! The hometown of milk at Dashan Ranch is located right at the foot of the mountain. As the weather was still relatively cold in March, all the cows had to be relocated, which was a pity. I went to the only shop that was open for business that sold all kinds of Dashan milk products. 🙁 But when I came here, I definitely had to try Dashan milk ice cream. The ice cream had a smooth texture and rich milk flavor. No wonder it is a famous product. 🤭 There is a large grassland here. Standing on the grass, you can have a complete view of the entire mountain. The scenery is beautiful and there is still snow in March! #MarchGoodPlaces2025

From Osaka, you can reach Oyama Kawazu Sakura-no-Oka Park in just over two hours by express train😉 Kawazu cherry blossoms are relatively early blooming cherry blossoms. This park has two rows of densely packed cherry trees. Although it is not large in scale, it has the advantage of few people and no tourists. You can take a quiet walk under the cherry trees or sit under the cherry trees and chat. And the park is right at the foot of the mountain, so you can take pictures of the superb cherry blossoms under the mountain 😍😍😍 I recommend everyone to come and see! address: 1800 Maruyama, Hoki, Saihaku District, Tottori 689-4108 Japan #OsakaSakura

Mt. Daisen's [Milku no Sato] is famous for its soft serve ice cream. When the leaves turn red in autumn, the mountain road to Milku no Sato is beautifully colored. Milku no Sato has a large parking lot, but on weekends the nearby roads get congested with many cars. Look up and you'll see Mt. Daisen right in front of you! Look down and you can see the cityscape of Tottori. You can also play on the grass, so it's a popular spot for dogs and children.

Daisen Makiba Milk Village is famous for its Shirobara milk! I recommend it because you can relax on the grass while eating soft serve ice cream☺️ The parking lot is also free, so you can relax without worrying! I recommend buying sweets made with Shirobara milk and Shirobara coffee at the shop!!! Shirobara coffee and milk in slightly larger 900ml bottles are placed in cute styrofoam containers with ice packs, so even those who are traveling far away can take them home with them🤤 #DaisenMakibaMilkVillage #Tottori

Mt. Daisen is a place where you can enjoy the changing of the seasons. The weather changes in a short time, so there are limited opportunities to take pictures! A good place to take pictures is across from Miruku no Sato. The Western food menu at the restaurant is delicious, and the soft serve ice cream with a view of the farm is also very popular. If you go further towards the Oyamaguchi area, you will find cafes and shops selling Oyama Okowa. Down the windows and enjoy a green shower while driving♪ Address: Miruku no Sato, 2-11 Kobayashi, Hoki-cho, Saihaku-gun, Tottori Recommended point: It feels good to lie down on the grass!
