Yonago
A commercial city on the western edge of Tottori Prefecture, Yonago sits between the Sea of Japan, the inland sea of Nakaumi, and the slopes of Mount Daisen — giving the city water on multiple sides and mountain views from the centre. Known historically as the "commercial capital of San'in," it serves as the main hub for the western part of the prefecture, with a walkable centre and a café and restaurant scene to match its regional-city status.
