Whispers of Sakura: A Slow Journey Through Tottori’s Hidden Trails

While many chase the cherry blossoms in Tokyo or Kyoto, we wandered into the quiet beauty of Tottori Prefecture. Along the Shikano Castle Ruins, pale pink petals floated gently down as if time slowed. Locals welcomed us with warm smiles and matcha in small teahouses, away from tourist crowds. At Utsubuki Park in Kurayoshi, the cherry blossoms framed a peaceful pond, and lanterns lit up the trees at night in soft golden hues. Tottori’s sakura season is calm, uncrowded, and full of raw charm that lingers in your memory. #summervacay
