2025 Yazu District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

#AugustGoodSpots2025 Hachiman Hiroba, located in Wakasa Town, Tottori Prefecture, serves as one of the trailheads leading to the ruins of Wakasa Oniga Castle. The plaza boasts beautiful surroundings, with well-groomed lawns and the air filled with the fragrance of the forest, allowing you to experience the natural beauty before even entering the mountains. Free parking is available, and the trails are gentle and easy, perfect for strolling, jogging, or simply relaxing with the family. Hachiman Hiroba, itself a community park, formerly the site of Wakasa Elementary School and a nursery school, was renovated and reopened in 2017. It is now a certified Grauman Dogolf course and is a popular spot for locals. Many people come here to play ball, stroll, and socialize, allowing travelers to experience the relaxed atmosphere of small-town life. For me, this is both the starting point for hiking and the perfect place to experience the everyday scenery of Wakasa. 🌟 Address: 999-1 Wakasaki, Wakasaki-cho, Hatou-gun, Tottori Prefecture Transportation: About 10 minutes’ walk from JR Wakakakura Station. Free parking is available. #tottori #桜桜町 #八妡広场 # 若桜鬼ヶ城 #山口 # LocalTravel #CommunityPark

#AugustGoodPlaces2025 Entering Wakazakura Shrine, crossing the Shinto Bridge and ascending the approximately 200 stone steps, the first thing that catches your eye is Zuishinmon Gate. Atop this majestic gate tower hangs a plaque inscribed with "Wakazakura Shrine" and a bell, symbolizing both exorcism and blessings. Zuishinmon Gate serves as both a physical boundary and a spiritual threshold, reminding those entering to focus their minds and approach the pilgrimage with respect. Flanking the stone steps are cedar, cypress, and fir trees, forming a tranquil, shaded path that further enhances the gate's solemnity. This spot is not only a necessary entrance to the main hall but also a favorite photo spot for photography enthusiasts. Looking up, the rustic wooden structure intertwined with the lush trees creates a painting, showcasing the uniquely tranquil beauty of a local shrine. For me, Zuishinmon Gate is more than just an entrance; it serves as a symbol, signifying the guardianship of Wakazakura Shrine throughout history. ✨ Address: Wakasa 634, Wakasa-cho, Yazu-gun, Tottori Prefecture (within the grounds of Wakasa Shrine) Feature: A majestic gatehouse at the top of the stone steps, with a plaque and bells reading "Wakasa Shrine" hanging on it. #Tottori #Wakasa-jinja Shrine #Zuishinmon #ShrinePilgrimage #San'in Travel #Religious Culture #Historic Architecture

#AugustDestinations2025 Tokumaru Station, located in Yazu-cho, Tottori Prefecture, is a relatively young station on the Wakasa Line of the Wakasa Railway, having only opened in 2002. The station has no station building, only a single platform and simple facilities, making it an unmanned station. In 2020, under the supervision of designer Takashi Mitakeka, the platform roof was renovated in a wooden style, giving the station a warm and inviting atmosphere. Clean, simple yet functional toilets are also available in front of the station. The surrounding area is primarily farmland, offering a tranquil environment. The line extends straight towards Danbi, creating a refreshing scenery. The nearby "Hatto Fruits Tourist Park" is also very popular. In summer and autumn, you can pick pears, apples, grapes, and even experience chestnut harvesting, making it a great place to take a train for a rural orchard tour. Tokumaru Station may not be a flashy tourist destination, but precisely because of this, you can experience the simple charm of local railways, closely integrated with rural life. 🌿 Address: Tokumaru, Yazu-cho, Yazu-gun, Tottori Prefecture Access: Directly accessible from Tokumaru Station on the Wakasa Railway. The surrounding orchards are within walking distance. #Tottori #TokumaruStation #WakasaTetsudo #RuralScenery #LocalSmallStation

Mitakien is a restaurant located on the border between Tottori and Okayama prefectures, surrounded by nature. You can dine in a relaxed indoor setting or on the riverside terrace while enjoying the views and sounds of nature. Although the restaurant focuses on wild mountain vegetable dishes, it also offers a course where you can eat mountain stream fish, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavors of nature. As you walk along the walking path, you'll see a waterfall, and further in, there's also a stylish cafe. It's a hidden gem that's irresistible.
