Visiting tips
Last admission before closing
Last admission is 16:30, 30 minutes before closing. Busy periods can require an entry wait. For a late-afternoon arrival, see the exhibition first and the street afterwards.
A day in Sakaiminato
Stay in Yonago for the museum and yokai street. Travel from the Tottori dunes is long, so give Sakaiminato a separate day instead of adding a quick visit after the dunes. Choose your return train to Yonago.
