(1) Twentieth-Century Pear Soft Serve | Roadside Station Hojo Park

This refreshing green soft serve made with Tottori's signature fruit, the "Twentieth-Century Pear," has tremendous visual impact! The pale lime-green color stands out beautifully in the sunlight for a shot brimming with a cool, refreshing feel.

  • Best shooting time: from 10 a.m. to noon, when the natural light is soft
  • Shooting angle: hold the soft serve in your hand and shoot from a slightly upward angle with the blue sky as the background
  • Access: about a 5-minute drive from JR Yura Station

(2) Sand Dune Warabimochi | Shops Around the Tottori Sand Dunes

The "sand dune warabimochi," designed to evoke the sand of the Tottori Sand Dunes, is a Japanese sweet generously dusted with soybean flour. Shoot the whole tray against the backdrop of the dunes' spectacular scenery to complete a photogenic photo full of travel atmosphere!

  • Best shooting time: from 2 to 4 p.m., when the slanting light dyes the dunes golden
  • Shooting angle: shooting horizontally together with the ridgeline of the dunes adds depth
  • Access: about a 20-minute bus ride from Tottori Station, get off at "Tottori Sakyu (Sand Dunes)," right there

(3) Pear-Blossom Temari Sushi | A Local Cuisine Restaurant in Kurayoshi

White, perfectly round temari sushi arranged in a wooden box looks just like a jewelry box. The colorful visual, making lavish use of local ingredients, is no exaggeration to call a textbook example of table photography!

  • Best shooting time: lunchtime, under the soft natural light by a window
  • Shooting angle: a perfectly overhead shot (flat lay) capturing the entire wooden box
  • Access: about a 15-minute bus ride from JR Kurayoshi Station

---

(4) Kitaro Manju | Sakaiminato, Mizuki Shigeru Road

The "Kitaro manju" you want to find on Sakaiminato's Mizuki Shigeru Road is memorable for the cute face of Medama-oyaji (Eyeball Father)! With its soft, cute visual, collaboration photos taken together with the characters are also very popular.

  • Best shooting time: weekday mornings, when there are fewer crowds
  • Shooting angle: shoot the manju up close with a bronze statue in the background to bring out a storybook feel
  • Access: right outside JR Sakaiminato Station

---

(5) Sand Dune Rakkyo Sweets | A Cafe in Tottori City

A distinctive menu item that arranges Tottori's specialty, sand dune rakkyo (shallots), into a dessert is a hot topic! A parfait topped with a faintly sweet-and-sour purplish jam is a guaranteed photogenic sweet where novelty and beauty coexist.

  • Best shooting time: afternoon cafe time, when the indoor accent lighting looks its best
  • Shooting angle: tilt the parfait slightly toward you and shoot at a 45-degree diagonal angle with the background blurred
  • Access: served at various cafes within a 15-minute walk of JR Tottori Station
