Yonago

Among the cities of Tottori Prefecture, Yonago stands out for its position between the Sea of Japan’s Miho Bay and the brackish waters of Nakaumi. This western Tottori city looks toward Mount Daisen, the region’s highest peak and a defining presence above the coastal plain. Yonago grew as a castle town, and the stone walls and hilltop ruins of Yonago Castle remain a clear link to that past. The castle site in Minatoyama Park also reflects the importance of waterways and port trade in the town’s development. Today, Yonago is an urban centre for western Tottori while remaining closely connected to fishing, farming country and the broad waters around it.
