The Tottori Sand Dunes
🎌The Tottori Sand Dunes are sand dunes located near the city of Tottori in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. They form the only large dune system (over 30 km²) in Japan.
The dunes were created by sediment deposits carried from the Chugoku Mountains by the Sendai River into the Sea of Japan.
Sea currents and wind help bring the sand from the bottom up onto the shore, where the wind constantly rearranges their shape.
