A place related to the white rabbit of Inaba

Hakuto Beach is a beautiful coast in Tottori Prefecture. It is the setting of the myth of Inaba no Shiro Usagi ("The white rabbit of Inaba") which has been recorded in Japan's oldest written record “Kojiki”. There is an island offshore from which the white rabbit returned. Hakuto Beach is famous for its sunsets and attracts many locals in summer. It takes 40 minutes by bus from Tottori Train Station.

I still clearly remember the day I first landed in Japan, and since then it has been my goal to set foot in all 47 prefectures. I try to look for less touristy areas, preferring the countryside to the city. I'm always amazed by the many Haagen Dazs and ice cream flavors available only in Japan.
