Tourists walk on Tottori Prefecture's famous sand dunes which stretch for 16 kilometers along the Sea of Japan coast. Camel rides are also a popular way to experience the 2-km-wide dunes.

It's amazing that on this small stretch of land that is Japan, it literally has EVERYTHING. From snowy mountains up north to the beautiful beaches in the south and even a small desert in the middle.

As well as the beautiful blue sea and white sands I forgot to mention the "desert" ! It's spectacular ! As well as camels, they also have horses to ride and I was allowed to ride one "alone" with my small son. The horse knows his "route" and refused to gallop on the way over but after stopping at a "view spot" he obligingly galloped back to the starting point ! Tottori "20 seki" pears as well as crab-meat are delicious !

Watch 'The Woman in the Dunes', or Suna no Onna to see these dunes used to great effect in cinema.
