Discover two very different sides of Tottori on a private 10-hour day trip from Osaka, combining Detective Conan culture in Hokuei with the dramatic landscapes of the Tottori Sand Dunes and the artistic world of the Sand Museum. Travel comfortably by private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide and avoid the hassle of multiple train and bus transfers.

Begin with pickup from your hotel, accommodation, station, or another confirmed location within the selected Osaka service area. Travel through the countryside towards Hokuei, the hometown of Detective Conan creator Gosho Aoyama.

Explore the area around Conan Station and the Conan-themed streets of Hokuei. Discover character statues, themed monuments, bridges, shops, and photo spots inspired by Detective Conan.

Continue to the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory, also known as the Gosho Aoyama Hometown Museum. Explore exhibits introducing the creator’s career, artwork, manga production, and the world of Detective Conan. Admission is not included, and opening dates and final-entry times may vary.

Next, travel east to the Tottori Sand Dunes. Walk across the broad wind-shaped slopes, enjoy views towards the Sea of Japan, and photograph the changing ridges and sand patterns. Walking time may be adjusted according to weather, heat, wind, visibility, and the overall tour schedule.

If open and time allows, visit the nearby Sand Museum, where large-scale sand sculptures are created around changing international themes. The exhibition schedule changes periodically, and the museum may close between exhibition periods. Admission is paid separately.

The appeal of this journey lies in the contrast between manga culture, coastal nature, and sand art. In Hokuei, Detective Conan extends beyond the museum into an entire town; in Tottori, naturally formed dunes lead into an indoor exhibition where sand is transformed into monumental artworks.

Default route: Osaka pickup → Conan Station / Hokuei Conan-themed streets → Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory → Tottori Sand Dunes → Sand Museum → Osaka drop-off.

The total service duration is 10 hours from the confirmed pickup time to final drop-off, including driving, sightseeing, meal breaks, waiting, and return transport. This is a long-distance day trip, so stop durations and visit order may be adjusted due to traffic, parking, weather, attraction opening hours, or pickup location. Not all listed stops can always be completed in full; priority will be given to the main attractions if time is limited.
