Hakuto Beach

Hakuto Beach in Tottori City is tied to one of Japan's most beloved folk tales from the Kojiki chronicles. The White Rabbit of Inaba is said to have used the small offshore islets visible from the beach as stepping stones to cross the sea. A coastal path leads past a shrine and rabbit statues commemorating the story. Beyond its mythological associations, the beach has soft sand and clean Sea of Japan views, with calm water suitable for swimming in summer. The nearby Hakuto Shrine, dedicated to the rabbit deity, draws couples seeking blessings in romance, as the legend involves the rabbit's role in matchmaking between two deities.
