Kurayoshi Shirakabe Dozo-gumi and Red Tiles: Retro Castle Town Walk

A full-day leisurely walking course through the town of Kurayoshi, which spreads at the base of Uchifu-ki Mountain in the heart of Tottori Prefecture. Stroll through the Shirakabe Dozo-gumi (white-walled warehouse district) in the morning light along the Tamagawa River, where white earthen storehouses and red-tiled roofs line the streets. Browse local crafts and goods at Akakawara Ichigo-kan, a converted warehouse. Savor the specialty mochi-shabu at Shimizu-an, a restored merchant townhouse, at lunch. In the afternoon, visit Kurayoshi Yodoya, the oldest townhouse architecture in the city, and experience the lives of merchant families. The course concludes with a leisurely forest walk through Uchifu-ki Park. With stone bridges, white walls reflected in the river, retro alleyways, famous local cuisine, and the complete appeal of a castle town presented in a classic, comprehensive way, this is the perfect one-day introduction to Kurayoshi for first-time visitors.
