鳥取砂丘 砂の美術館

Tottori Sand Dunes Conan

The "Sand Museum" at Tottori Sand Dunes is the world's first museum dedicated to sand sculptures. With the concept of "World Travel Through Sand," sand sculptures are displayed each year based on a different theme, created by top-class sculptors from both Japan and abroad. These sculptures are made from only sand and water, and after the exhibition period ends, they are returned to their original sandy form, making their transience a part of their beauty and charm. This museum, where you can enjoy the ephemeral art of sand alongside Tottori Sand Dunes, is certainly worth a visit.
