The journey to fully enjoy the charm of Tottori begins at the station front square. The 'Station South Square' at the south exit of Tottori Station is a space filled with local charm. Inspired by the summer tradition of the Shan Shan dance, the arcade extends, allowing for movement without worrying about rain or snow. Along the sidewalk, camphor and zelkova trees elegantly spread their branches, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
In one corner of the square stands an endearing bronze statue. This is the statue of 'Daikoku-sama and the White Rabbit', with deep connections to composers from Tottori. Next to it is the 'Box of Japan's Hometown Famous Songs', where you can hear representative hometown songs. While gazing at the statue, humming along to these songs will bring a sense of peace, as if you've returned to your childhood.
The 'Station South Square' is not just a thoroughfare. It is a space to touch Tottori's nature and cultural arts, soothing the soul. In the morning, it bustles with people departing from the station, while in the evening, it is bustling with people returning home. In the same place, it shows different expressions when arriving and leaving. Why not take the unforgettable first step of memories from here?
