Japan's Least Populated Prefecture | Tottori Prefecture Travel Guide

Tottori Prefecture is a hidden gem of Japan and an off the beaten path place to visit but it's definitely one of my top 3 favourite prefectures in Japan!!! I can't wait to share with you what I did in Tottori Prefecture in 4 days and just how underrated this place is.... :(
You can get to Tottori easily via direct flights from Tokyo(Haneda or Narita Airport), direct buses depart from all over Japan's major cities and of course you can take the limited express train (Super Hakuta) from many areas such as Kyoto and Osaka.
Here are the places I visited in the video:
More detailed info here: www.tottori-tour.jp/en/
- Mitaki-en Restaurant (Japanese seasonal Sansai cuisine)
- Clear Kayaking at Uradome Coast
- Takumi Shabu Shabu Restaurant
- Totori Sand Dunes
- Sankouen Pear Orchard
- Tottori Sand Museum
- Karoichi Fish Market
- Misasa Onsen Hot Spring Town
Thank you to Tottori Prefecture for inviting me to come and experience your beautiful prefecture!

When the spirited away music started playing I was like ㅠㅠ

[@internationallyME]

Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2S5f5aVpc-NeM0 Here is another episode to add to my "Japan Off The Beaten Path" series!!! Seriously I really want to encourage you all to explore off the typical travel routes because that is when you discover the true beauty of Japan and encounter unexpected adventures. And don't let the language barrier be an excuse to stop you from exploring the local areas!!!! I think not knowing the language would be just as fun if not more :)

[@thatgurl1723]

I love your videos. Please do more. And hopefully one day you can cover all the prefectures in Japan!

[@MrToon-pk4yl]

the beach part was my favorite I love to see nature and animals

[@javonanderson3958]

internationally ME There goes that theme from spirited away again.....what version of the song is this? It's faster paced than the original....I like it

[@amit-sr8ik]

Nihon ga daisukidesu

[@briyawnuh]

internationally ME this is my favorite series on KZbin. So much research must go into these episodes, and it makes me so eager to get back to Japan, seeing you do all these fun things! I've done a few of the things you recommend on this channel and they've always been fun or memorable 😄

[@tythescreamofan1]

Man I swear that when I visit Japan I'm staying for a month at least just to travel around and experience as much as I can. Including the tourist spots to random rural town. I don't know why but there is something so entrancing to Japan's natural beauty and culture. I really enjoyed this video due to Japan and your likeable personality. Subscribed for sure.

[@srvdisciple3033]

Nice ! That's exactly what I did when I went to Japan two weeks this summer with my school . Seriously spend as much time as you can just exploring this country, there is so many things to see :)

[@carmcam1]

a month isn't enough, i've been there 6 times and still keep coming back.

[@mmt1575]

Japan really is incredible

[@ruggsparch2787]

@@carmcam1 how much Japanese do you need to be able to talk of you wanna go on the off beaten path?

[@LifeWhereImFrom]

Well, now I have to add Tottori to the list of places that I want to visit in Japan. The kayaking through those rock caves seems pretty amazing. I also really want to try that sand dune paragliding and surfing! Looking forward to part 2!

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I thought you said "least popular" and I was like "Totorri is pretty popular" then I read the title again and like "Oh" lol

[@tee1694]

Tottoriken is a big place I hope she gets to Daisen which is a big mountain in that prefecture.and sort of looks like Mnt. Fuji in Cased Closed anime movie. There's a lot in Tottoriken to see and try.

[@farahfitriani]

T Kin fun fact: the Case Closed anime or Detective Conan (in Japanese Meitantei Conan) actually has a museum dedicated for the manga turned anime in Yura city, Tottori! Been to Tottori to visit the museum and it was the best. Tottori is also popular for the Ge ge Kitaro Museum, other Manga

[@tee1694]

I know...the Ge ge Kitaro is pretty old they have the anime of it on DVD in Japan. The creator died almost 2 years ago. He lost his right hand during World War 2 and had to learn to do it with his left hand.

[@yuuyundayo]

Thanks for letting us know. I'm a huge fan of Detective Conan

[@olivernanetti1984]

thank you for Japanese lessons!

[@A-Pro100]

I swear I just want to spend 10 years in Japan, no work no school. just traveling, talking to locals and living with them, taking in the culture etc. I believe Japan is literally the most BEAUTIFUL place on planet Earth. Gosh, Angela, this video was eye-candy. :) great job btw.

That spirited away music 😭😭 such a good video!! 💓

[@bangyanjin5454]

So excited for part 2! The end reminded me of Spirited Away. And it was not just the music but also the architecture.

[@ajlee613]

my friend, it was due to the song in the background. sneaky sneaky subliminal msging tapping into your nostalgia center of brain. a skillful editing choice

[@janilovesbatman]

I love your videos so much! They always bring a huge smile to my face and makes me feel like I'm right there experiencing Japan's great treasures. ❤

[@raymondching3828]

Wow, Tottori Prefecture looks so beautiful, I'm definitely adding this to my itinerary next time I go to Japan! Thanks for another great vid Angela! :)

[@bangyanjin5454]

Angela, I love your "Japan Off The Beaten Path" series. It showcases the true beauty of Japan, not just the big cities. Keep up the terrific work Angela. We will always support you!

[@Gotfish]

This is definitely by far the best video I love from your channel. Great insight and inspiration in traveling to Japan. I was able to visit lots of major tourist spots in Japan such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and I loved it. But I was always curious about visiting the rest of Japan in the lesser known areas. Thank you for this video and I am really looking forward to the second part of your Tottori series.

[@DivergentObserver]

That was a really good video, 12 minutes hits the spot for me :) Also hilarious first landing!! Sorry :D

[@internationallyME]

Hahaha should have listened to the instructor more 😂

[@nico5179]

Japan is such an amazing place, I so want to live there one day and go to all these places.

[@nathanyagi-stanton5893]

Your videos just get better and better. I found myself smiling throughout your video. What a joy to watch.

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks for the video ! It looks like so much fun there, can't wait for Part 2 !!

[@MartialBachoffner]

From all the video I saw from your channel, this one is the most appealing to me.

[@jonathancafarelli9204]

Another greatly produced video! You deserve your own tv show!

[@bcrispchannel]

Excellent video. This episode one makes me rethink my first trip to Japan to include Tottori!

[@etheredge]

This is such a good video. Wow. I love the editing. For some reason, the zoom-in you did with Google maps that transitioned to your video shot of the restaurant in the forest in Tottori made me tear up for a second in awe. Please don't stop visiting all the prefectures, I love seeing all of these beautiful places and people off the beaten path!

[@DasRetroKid]

I really love your videos that show us the lesser known parts of Japan. Keep up the great work Angela!

If I ever live in Japan, this place would be my top pick. I don't even care about city life.

[@kage108]

Angela! I've definitely been really in tune with your videos lately! The vibe of these "Off the Beaten Path" videos are exactly what I was looking for the next time I visit.
