Tottori travel guide
The Tottori guide here is about the Tottori Sand Dunes (鳥取砂丘): whether they justify a detour and how long to give them. That also decides whether you come for the day from Osaka or Matsue or build in a night.
If you are still weighing it against other stops in Chugoku, start here. The Tottori Sand Dunes guide answers those points. It covers the entry rules and the bus from Tottori Station, how much time to allow on the sand, the dates of the Sand Museum, and day-trip plans from Osaka or Matsue, so you can judge whether the dunes earn a place on your route.
