The Tottori Sand Dunes, located in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, are the largest sand dunes in the country. Stretching along the coast of the Sea of Japan for approximately 16 kilometers, these dunes are up to 2 kilometers wide and can reach heights of up to 50 meters. Formed over thousands of years through the deposition of sand carried by the Sendai River, the dunes offer a unique landscape that contrasts starkly with Japan's typically lush and mountainous terrain. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, such as camel rides, sandboarding, and paragliding, while also exploring the nearby Sand Museum, which features intricate sand sculptures created by artists from around the world.
