Like North Dakota, eh? Is it one of those regions where they have the 'no gaijin' signs?

I am legit and submitting big Yonago swan for proof. (And I'm betting you were a JET, because god only knows how else somebody ends up out there.)

Not really. The prefecture actually does quite a bit of international exchange stuff, so there isn't much of a "no gaijin" sentiment. It's more like...there's a few medium sized towns with some big box stores, but other than that it's all stretches of farmland and forests.

Actually I was a high school student, and I stayed in Tottori-shi...only made it out to Yonago a couple times for our little conference things. That little town in Shimane across the stretch of water from Sakaiminato is fucking unreal though. I dunno if you went there. It feels like the end of the earth.

Nah, never went further north than the airport, although I know what you're talking about.

I was only there for two different times about three weeks per, so although the person I was visiting lived there about half the trip was going off to Hiroshima or Matsue or the Kansai area.

I still <3 Tottori though.

Ahh the dunes. I went back there last winter...I think it's one of those places that's easier to appreciate when you aren't a kid...

In Tottori, just outside Tottori City, there's expansive sand dunes. They were where uhhh "Woman in the Dunes" by Teshigahara was filmed. Anyway, they've got a few camels for tourists to ride around, cuz all deserts (even tiny ones) need camels.
