Mizuki Shigeru Road

水木しげるロード

Tottori · Chugoku

An 800-meter shopping arcade running from Sakaiminato Station into town, lined with over 150 bronze statues of yokai (folklore spirits) created by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, a Sakaiminato native and creator of GeGeGe no Kitaro. Shops and cafes sell yokai-themed goods and snacks.

Why we picked it

This is a real, verifiable, highly walkable anchor stop for the Yonago/Sakaiminato leg of any Tottori itinerary.
