Town centre and sights
Recommended sights
The White-Walled Storehouses and Utsubuki Park are easy to combine in the old town, with the prefectural art museum another possible stop. Sekigane Onsen is farther south, so arrange return transport before adding a hot spring visit.
2Utsubuki Park
A park at the foot of Mount Utsubuki that adds greenery to a town walk. Enjoy seasonal scenery such as spring cherry blossoms. Plan your route from the old town; climbing the mountain needs extra time beyond a stroll in the park.
3Tottori Prefectural Museum of Art
Enjoy exhibitions and architecture at this prefectural art museum in Kurayoshi. Exhibition periods and admission conditions vary. If combining it with the old town, choose your exhibition in advance to keep the day manageable.
4Sekigane Onsen
A hot spring area in southern Kurayoshi. Choose a day-use bath or accommodation for a slower pace than a town walk. Hours and closure days vary by facility, so select your bath before setting off.
