    Tottori Tottori-shi Karocho Nishi 3-27-2
    "The aquarium is located next to ""Tottori Port Seafood Market Karoichi"" near Karo Port, west of Karo-machi, Tottori City, and offers ""see, touch, and experience"" exhibits and hands-on events with different themes each season. From May to October, many families enjoy playing barefoot in the outdoor wave pool."

    蟹の水揚げで有名な賀露港近くにあります。 魚市場が隣接していて駐車場も充実しているので、 県内外からお客さんが訪問しています。 こちらの施設は、こぢんまりしていますが、入場無料なので気軽に入れます。 様々な種類の蟹に展示をしていますが、 私が一番印象に残ったのは、遣唐使などで有名な吉備真備が賀露に訪れた伝説の 案内板。教科書には載っていないエピソードが、真偽はともかく非常に興味深い 内容でした。

    Tottori Pref. Tottorishi Fukubechouyuyama 2164-661
    At this facility standing on the Tottori Sand Dunes, you can have fun learning about nature and human activities in the area, including about the plants and animals which live on the dunes, and the history of the relationship between people and the dunes. In the Sunakura dome theater, you can watch a stunning movie about the dunes. You can also watch and listen to a detailed explanation about how the wave patterns are formed in the dunes as a guide uses a one-of-a-kind machine which recreates sand dune wave patterns.

    昼前に着いたのですが、前の駐車場は空き待ちの列ができていました。一応観光案内のようになっていて砂丘だけでなく鳥取県内の他の地域の案内パンフレットや地図が置かれてったのでいくつかいただいてきました。砂丘散策後の休憩場所のようになっていました。
