Mizuki Shigeru Museum is a must-visit in Sakaiminato — even if you’ve never heard of “yokai” before. Yokai are Japan’s folklore creatures: sometimes spooky, sometimes cute, often hilarious 👻

The best part? Getting there is part of the experience. Walk from JR Sakaiminato Station along Mizuki Shigeru Road — an outdoor “yokai hunt” lined with bronze yokai statues, themed street details, and nonstop photo moments. It honestly feels like a mini theme park. 📸✨

Before it became a favorite spring spot for cherry blossom lovers, Daiba Park in Sakaiminato (境台場公園) had a very different role.

Back in 1863, the Tottori Clan built this coastal battery to help protect the entrance of the Sakaisuidō Strait from foreign ships. Later, after the Meiji Restoration, a lighthouse was added to watch over the busy ship traffic passing through the strait.

Today, the area has transformed into a scenic seaside park — and in spring, it’s especially beautiful with over 300 cherry trees in bloom 🌸

Daiba Park sits right next to the Sea and Life Museum (海とくらしの史料館) and is easy to reach from JR Sakaiminato Station by foot or local bus.
