Kotoura combines a working Sea of Japan coast with the quiet farmland of Tottori Prefecture in a way that reflects its position between the shoreline and Mount Daisen. The town faces the northern waters of western Honshu, while its inland districts lead towards the volcanic mountain massif that shapes this part of the San’in region. Kotoura was established in 2004 through the merger of the former towns of Akasaki and Tōhaku, bringing coastal and inland communities into one municipality. Fishing harbours, cultivated fields and small settlements set a notably local rhythm away from Japan’s major cities. Browse additional webcams from the Sea of Japan coast and the Mount Daisen area to extend your view of western Tottori.
