An Abandoned Village with Only 3 People! | Hidden Forest Lunch | Traditional Residence | Tottori
It’s day-trip time again, and we’re escaping the crowds of the tourist hot spots and cities!
We explore one of Japan’s most fascinating hidden gems: a nearly abandoned village in Tottori with only 3 residents left. Along the way, we visit the beautifully preserved Ishitani Residence in Chizu and have a traditional forest lunch at the magical Mitaki-en.
This Tottori day trip was full of peaceful beauty, quiet places, and local culture most tourists never see.

This was such a peaceful day, visiting a samurai-era home, dining in a forest hut, and walking through a village with only 3 people still living there!
