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-to...
- 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!

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.

[@tekkenfan01]

Animepro100 not as perfect as you think, do research

[@itsthatbeeguy]

@@tekkenfan01 most people aren't very friendly I've found.

[@tekkenfan01]

vtra85 they are just scared of foreigners, approach them slowly and say hi in Japanese

[@MF-CLIMB]

Lockon Stratos totally untrue. Lived for years and this isn’t true at all.

[@MF-CLIMB]

vtra85 completely untrue as well.

[@TokiYuYu]

The most interesting parts to me are always the food parts!

[@tinaibrahim653]

I lived in Tottri 20 years ago but icant forget it ..it was a very unique experince i ever had ... i wish i can go back again one day before i die ...all my love to Japan &Japanese people they're so friendy &respectful people....🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@prof.m.ottozeeejcdecs9998]

Japan, a beautiful and CLEAN country, and well organized! I love the country, culture, and the people!

[@nico5179]

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

[@JG-td3qw]

That Spirited Away instrumental in the river scene is really cute !

[@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! :)

[@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 😂

[@clusterguard]

Lovely, beautiful, gentle people .... a dream.

[@icantthinkofagoodusername.9105]

What beautiful areas. It's seems so calm and peaceful and friendly there.

[@rrojasg68]

If you're a curiosity and adventurous type Japan is the perfect place to visit. So much diversity n the country of things to do, see, and eat!

[@kenllacer]

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

[@jackiezdanowicz3230]

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

[@Kunal-df9eu]

I swear.. your videos are just tooooo awesome.. like.. it makes life worth living. And keeps making my dream to go to japan stronger.. NEVER STOP MAKING THESE PLS 🙏❤

[@internationallyME]

So glad to hear that! Thank you Kunal! Don't give up and always work hard :)

[@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!

[@MartialBachoffner]

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

[@JavaDebo]

What a beautiful place, its like going back into the past seeing this place being preserved throughtout history like this.

[@hikkipedia]

That beach is another place that is now on my bucket list to visit!

[@masako2272]

Can't wait for part two. I like the spirited away music in the video. It really went well with the video. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@internationallyME]

Part 2 coming soon ;) thanks!

[@nembutsu1045]

my god you used a spirited away beat for the onsen town, that's so nice

[@meyase5804]

Watching videos of japan makes me emotional makes me wanna cry wish i was born there

[@CelticAeneis]

Mate, your videos are amazing..Please, continue....

[@themaxdg]

I must thank you for the suggestion. I went to Mitaki-en, it's an absolutely magical place. I loved Tottori also, I went to Yonago, and then Yushien Flower Garden on Diakonshima. It was my first trip to Japan, I was there for 3 weeks. I went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, plus other areas around those cities. But Tottori is probably the most memorable. Thanks again for the suggestion!

[@7sevendaysara]

Tottori is sooooo much fun!! Thanx for pointing it out for us!!!!

[@magusonline]

I went to Japan for a couple weeks, I had a blast! Went from Tokyo -> Osaka -> Kobe! Also it was too cute watching you just flop into the sand from not following the instructions.

[@OurGreenBranch]

That was so much fun!!! Japan really does have a little bit of everything. Yoga at the sand dunes has been added to my bucketlist!

[@van2koda]

Always love seeing you discover deep japan 🇯🇵

[@zacharymcdonough2864]

I enjoyed every feature of that video. The Sand Musuem was unexpected and I loved it.

[@ansong6271]

Thanks for your videos. I just got back from Japan, and I got a kick out of every time I visited one of the places you featured in your videos.

[@康裕中嶋]

Thank you very much internationally ME! I was born in Tottori, and now I am in Tottori!Really good, amazing video! I want many people come here!

[@enolri]

Out of all of the videos i've watched about Japan, this is my favorite!!! So peaceful!!! I cannot wait to explore

[@CrisCalderon]

Tottori is an amazing place to visit for sure. Another awesome video Angela! Love the background music in the later part at 10:40... One Summer's Day from Spirited Away. Thank you very much for sharing this.

[@TheBravoblack]

Wow this place is absolutely my cup of tea!!!

[@animeandnightcorelovers7941]

The first youtuber who only makes good videos

[@internationallyME]

Makes me happy as a creator to hear that :)

[@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.

[@maymaycatsu]

Great video! I haven't heard of Tottori until this video. I love the shabushabu background you added here. Can't wait to see your Hokkaido discoveries

[@bcrispchannel]

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

[@mrogers4638]

OMG am I the only one that was mind blown that she went to the BIRTH PLACE OF SHABU SHABU? That's amazing.

[@kayzeaza]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture or video of Japan and haven’t said to myself: “wow beautiful, I must go!”

[@norquay626]

I just found your site. It's very fun to watch. I'm from Canada, in the mountains, so it's wonderful seeing Tottori and the differences to what we have here.

[@claudi.o]

How beautiful is Japan. Especially the coast of the Sea of Japan in Tottori.

[@ratsword200]

Spirited away theme when talking about the onsen town. I see what you did there. Relaxing awesome content!

[@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. ❤

[@willliu3025]

thank you.. enjoy watching with the family.. love the boat paddle

[@lifeintottori2790]

I was born and raised in Tottori also live in now. Thank you for coming and making amazing video! Here is a really hidden prefecture...I want a lot of people to come here:) I'm looking forward to seeing another video! Thank you.

[@Necato13]

Wow I am so glad I found your channel ! In the next months I will travel to Japan under the working holiday scheme and was looking for "hidden gems" like this. Thank you very much for your videos :)

[@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. Your channel has become my favorite "J-vlog" , but to be honest, you're on another level. Keep doing what inspires you and much loveとsupport!

[@sthradhervernon7654]

Once again you have incorporated your charm and humor into your video, thanks for bringing Tottori alive for us to see.The first Restaraunt you went to have lunch, a beautiful setting would be great for a wedding I think.Thanks again looking forward to part 2 stay safe.

[@23kancheong]

Awesome travel video! Beauty of Tottori, Japan.

[@ChefRafi]

[@futurepixels]

Not so hidden anymore now that you've told us haha! Another great video as usual! Can't wait for part 2!

[@internationallyME]

shhhhh :P great things need to be shared and it's not going to be swarming with tourists anytime soon anyway hehe.

[@Dolphinhi2]

I got all sorts of feelings once the Spirited Away music came on

[@eliezertyree3198]

Wow! I'm visiting Japan for a month and I was trying figure out where I would like to go for the last week of my trip. You just helped me decide:) amazing video thank you for sharing and thank you for your help :)

[@sunsetbeach2893]

Every video I watch of yours, I'm falling in love more and more with Japan and I haven't even been there yet. My very first trip is coming up in April 2019. This trip was something I never thought would happen and it's happening! I'm doing my research and thank you to your videos, I'm uncovering more and more things and places and food and sights I MUST do and see. And the ultimate dream would be to know where my family came from. Mahalo so much, again, for your videos that have inspired wonderment and makes me feel like a kid again with big dreamy eyes of going to my dreamland!!

[@ShiekahTribe]

It's been 5 years since I've come back from a year studying in Japan. Watching this video really made me miss it. Great content, looking forward to more. :)

[@bridgetteb4112]

Thank you for showing us these hidden places. Tottori prefecture is beautiful. I can't wait to see Part 2!

[@SatishKumar41]

Part 2 looks more exciting. Can't wait to see it :D

[@bitcoinski]

I can't believe that place is real! Awesome!

[@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!

[@xaviermiah5979]

Definitely a place I want to visit on my next trip to Japan! Love the video.

[@internationallyME]

Yes please do :) it's a personal favourite of mine!

[@KanaievenTokyo]

[@1310twilight]

My friends in Tottori always say" there is nothing here" and so did I. But I noticed there are many sites to visit although I'm from Tottori. Than you for your video!! I like the nature, too!!

[@nolsp7240]
