#152 [Tottori] The Wind of Scenery, The Wind Blowing Through Part 1

The theme is "The wind of scenery, the wind blowing through."

This Tottori trip takes its title from the words left behind by photographer Shoji Ueda. We dig deep into the unique characteristics of Tottori Prefecture, including the majestic Mt. Daisen, nostalgic townscapes, and the history that the San-in region prides itself on. This time, we specifically focus on the history of "Hoki no Kuni," and share fascinating stories unraveled from local place names.

I was surprised by the unexpected historical connections.

This episode is packed with historical knowledge that you can enjoy even before visiting, such as the fact that many well-known manga artists come from Tottori Prefecture, and the division between the former "Inaba no Kuni" and "Hoki no Kuni." Knowing these facts might just deepen your travel experience when you visit Tottori. In the middle of the show, when one of the personalities takes something out, the conversation heads toward the core of the episode. We continue with even deeper stories, so please be sure to listen to the full episode to hear the rest.
