After Osaka we decided to go north and visit some of the smaller cities in Japan. We choose Tottori for our first destination and decided to take a chance and look for accommodation when we arrived. This turned out to be easier than we feared. Friendly people at the "tourist information" office helped us get a room in a local Ryokan. It turned out that this Ryokan was actually mentioned in the Lonely Planet. Hotel Matsuya-so had a big, nice and simple japanese style room for us when we arrived after being notified by the tourist office that guest where on their way.
Tottori is famous for their beautiful
sand dunes.
After strolling around the area of Tottori for a couple of days we thought it was time to move on again. This time we choose
Matsue to be our destination. We had very nice weather both in Tottori and Matsue. We enjoyed the sun although Japan is really hot these days. The news are full of stories about people having problems with the heat.
We have now arrived in
Hiroshima and plan to stay here for a couple of night to view the sights of the A-Bomb and the
Miyajima Island
