Shirakabe Dozogun・Akagawara
2012-05-17 15:51:22
Many of the buildings in the Shirakabe Dozogun area, which sits along the Tamagawa River, were built in the Meiji period. Even now, as you walk along this historic, quiet part of town, you can feel the ambiance of those bygone days. Walking along the stone bridges and red roofed-tiles of the white-plastered old buildings, one can certainly slip back in time!

Geographically located as the doorway to the Central Tottori area, Kurayoshi is the main city of the region. During the Muromachi era the construction of Utsubuki castle started the development of the area. Surviving that time, located in the heart of the old district of Kurayoshi, is the Shirakabe Dozogun area, which lies along the Tamagawa River. Now situated mainly in the Akagawara area are many folk crafts, retro themed sites, and various other popular tourist attractions. Also, during the cherry blossom season, Utsubuki Park comes alive. For a treasure trove of traditional Japanese beauty, look no further than Kurayoshi.
