Had some lectures down in south western Japan in a city called Yonago. It's in the Tottori prefecture and is known for it's many hot springs. Was amazing to crawl up form the tatami in my room to a 45 degree hot bath early in the morning before suiting up. Love the Onsens (hot spring in Japanese).
The beaches in Yonago are kilometer long and totally empty. It's rainy season now so the weather wasn't really at it's best but at least it didn't pour down. This place would be amazing to come in when it's winter to sit in the hot bath while it's snowing outside.
The Izumo shrine is about 1 hour drive away from Yonago. It's the only (as far as I was told) shrine where you clap your hands 4 times instead of 2. The hand clapping is suppose to wake up the gods so they can listen to your prayers. Beautiful place!

Saw my own flat from the air when flying out of Haneda. It's the skyscraper that has a lot of green around it.
Herro! Nice city mascot you have Yonago.
Sea god?
If the board can't fit your prayer, use the tree...
Gorgeous in the middle of the forest
