With some big and small strange stones on its slope, Mt.Ojigadate is a scenic spot in Okayama. It's very thrilling to stand on the stone and overlook the panoramic view of Seto Inland Sea, but so beautiful that I can't describe. Of course, you can see also from safer places.◎Coming from Kurashiki, you can climb up by car just before you arrive Shibukawa Beach. Parking lot is available. Please enjoy the scenery from safe place such as an observatory.

Tottori Sand Dunes in Tottori Prefecture. It is a tourist attraction that represents Tottori! It's like entering a different world with a sandy landscape all around. The highlight is the "Horse back" shaved like a wall. You can see the Sea of Japan from the top! And the huge puddle under the back of the horse is an "oasis"! It is rare for an oasis to appear in dunes that do not easily absorb water.

A dome house built using the earthback construction method using sandbags. It's like a movie set. The cafe is also open several days a month. It's a place you'll want to go to over and over again, with a variety of events and buildings included. It is safe to climb or sit on what looks like an outside staircase. Seeing the surrounding mountains from a different perspective will make you want to take a deep breath. It's a perfect place for a drive.
