For me traveling isn't about visiting the major areas

Immersing yourself in a different culture

seeing the different ways people live life and

Through traveling and the encounters I make it

and learn more about this magical place together

We started day three by walking along an old train line that is now a beautiful hidden gem

The train line is 30 kilometers long however, you can decide where you want to start and stop

I only had time to walk along one station

But I did get to see some beautiful views of Tottori and really just enjoy being surrounded by nature

Who would have thought that you would have all this bamboo

You know how so many people go to Kyoto and they go to see the bamboo in Kyoto you can come to Tottori

and see the Bamboo and have no tourists in your photo

next we headed over to a small suburban area in Tottori which had a lot of well-preserved traditional architecture

a historic atmosphere, and many unique local shops like this one here which sold handcrafted traditional Kites

I recommend staying two to three hours here and you can also rent a Yukata to explore the area

In this area it's okay to walk around with food unlike most areas in Japan so let's go

I loved how this place had such a natural genuine atmosphere

and that the shops tried to preserve their original culture and history

unlike some of the other traditional streets I have been to in Japan

where I felt like a lot of it was made just for show and to market at tourists

In the afternoon we hit it into the mountains for some hiking

and this is now one of my top recommendations to visit in Tottori

We then changed into Waraji which were very commonly worn in the olden days

They are made from straw rope and have souls that have a good grip which makes it perfect for climbing

We are now at the half-way point, I'm like covered in sweat

In the evening, we checked into our hotel and since it was right next to the beach

I knew I couldn't end the day without doing one more thing

Suikawari, which is a very common Japanese game played in the summertime

On the last day, I decided to go on a cycling tour around Mount Daisen, a very famous mountain in and outside of Tottori

Mount Daisen was chosen as the third greatest summits in Japan

behind Mount Fuji and Mount Yarigatake in Gifu

so there are many neat places and things to do in and around Mount Daisen

from traditional temples to beautiful scenery and nature

Also, don't forget to try the delicious ice cream at the Daisen farm

After lunch have a stroll around the Daisen temple and learn about the culture and history behind this

Another relaxing place to go is to the Tottori flower park where you can see beautiful flowers all year-round

I had to try to Tottori's famous Kuroshi Wagyu beef

where all the cattles were raised in the natural environment of Mount Daisen

So I definitely recommend you to try it if you're in Tottori

So I really really do encourage you guys to travel off the beaten path in Japan and you will find these amazing places
