    駱駝は乗りたかったのですが、時間的な都合などで止めましたが、梨のソフトというのが見えたのでそちらにしました。梨と言うので楽しみにしていましたが、梨の風味はあまり感じられずどちらかと言うとブドウに似た様な感じで一寸がっかりでした。しかし、砂丘が楽しめたので良かったです。

    鳥取砂丘に行った後に、梨狩りに寄ってみました。 11月頭ということもあり、シーズンが終わりかけているからなのか、周りの梨園は閉まっていて、こちらが開いていたので行ってみました。 大人1人1000円ということで受付でお金を払うときに、梨は食べ放題だが無しが残り少なくなっているので持ち帰りはできないとの説明がありました。 お土産用の梨が少しもらえるかと思ってたので残念でしたが、せっかく行ったので梨狩り...

  • Kaming Saji Paper Gallery
    Travel / Tourism
    Tottori Tottori-shi Sajicho Fukuzono 146-4
    "This Japanese washi paper studio is located in Saji-cho, a district rich in natural beauty and surrounded by mountain and river. The studio makes and sells Inshu washi, a traditional paper which is stated to have even been presented to the emperor in the ancient, Heian-period compilation of government regulations called the ""Engi-shiki."" Made using the bast fibers of paper mulberry, Oriental paper bush, and Diplomorpha sikokiana, washi leverages the innate qualities of natural fibers to produce a paper that is elegant, supple, and elastic to the touch. The techniques of making Inshu washu have only been passed down in Tototri City's Saji-cho and Aoya-cho; during the Edo period, the paper was widely used for official documents by the Tottori Domain government, and by the common people as well. The studio can be identified by its triangular roof. The studio offers a paper making activity as well."

    Tottori Tottori-shi Fukubecho Yuyama Hama Yuyama 1844

    観光旅行の一泊で利用しました。値段と場所で選びました。 鳥取砂丘の近所だからなのか建物に砂のダメージがあるようで、年季が入っているのと清潔感に欠けている感じがしました。 難点は、部屋の壁が薄く隣室の声が聞こえたのと、お風呂(うち風呂)がぬるかったことです。 熱めが好きな人は岩風呂はやめたほうがよいです。
