Tour the white classical Western-style building from the Meiji era and explore the history of the castle town of Tottori
About this spot
This white classical Western-style building, completed in Meiji 40 (1907), stands within Hisamatsu Park. It was built in a French architectural style to commemorate the visit of the Crown Prince (who later became the Taisho Emperor) and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Inside, furnishings and materials from that era are on display, conveying how Meiji-era Tottori spared no expense in its preparation. In sharp contrast to the grand natural landscape of the sand dunes, this offers a quiet moment to appreciate the history and architectural beauty of the castle town. Resting in the shade of the adjacent Hisamatsu Park is also recommended.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否は鳥取市または大会公式の発表で事前に確認を。終了後は鳥取駅方面への帰り道が一斉に混み合うため、フィナーレ後は河川敷で少し余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめ。足元が暗いエリアもあるため、スマホのライトや小型ライトがあると安心です。
