Unique sand museum in Japan

Tottori is a famous city with endless long sands and sand museums with no 1 in the world.

Tottori is the most populous city in Japan, and no super-fast train stops here and ranks 39/47 districts in attracting tourists. However, there is one thing this city does not lack: sand. The golden sand dunes stretch over 16km, so majestic that the city decided to build a national park.

For the past 10 years, sculptors have flocked here for two weeks at the only indoor sand museum in the world to create spectacular works from 3,000 tons of sand.

Artists work 9 hours a day to create masterpieces from sand.

This year, 19 artists from around the world like Canada, China, Italy, Holland and Russia gathered at Tottori for this event. They work 9 hours a day to build works with the theme "America".

This year, five artists from the United States attended the event.
