On foot
The city center, between the train station and Mt. Kyusho, is easily navigable on foot. From downtown, a wide and pleasant greenbelt leads to the beach. Starting from JR Tottori Station, walk west about 5 blocks to find the river, Sendai-gawa. Head right when you find the path. The walk takes about 45 minutes. To get to the sand dunes, it is best to take the bus. Walking is possible, but it will take a few hours to get there.
By bus
There are two buses in Tottori: the Loop Kirinjishi and the Â¥100 Bus Kururi. For the sand dunes and port, take the Loop Kirinjishi bus. A special sakyÅ« bus runs from the train and central bus station — it plays the sand dunes' theme song as it goes by.
The Â¥100 Bus has two routes, Red and Blue. The buses depart every 20 minutes from JR Tottori Station. As the name suggests, trips of any distance are ¥100. The red bus starts running 8:05AM 9AM on weekends and holidays and makes its last departure at 6PM. The blue bus starts at 8:05AM 9:10AM on weekends and holidays with a last departure at 6:10PM.
