Enjoy fresh seafood at "Ajiroya"

Ajiroya is a restaurant where you can enjoy fresh, locally caught seafood. The popular set menu, "Umi no Sachi Set," where you can enjoy a platter of sashimi, boiled fish, and fried food all at once, and the "Seafood Bowl," whose contents change with the seasons, are also popular. We also recommend the seasonal seafood menu and the original pitch-black squid ink curry.

Relax at Minato Cafe

Minato Cafe, which opened in 2022, is a cafe attached to the boat dock with a seaside town image. Popular menu items include bisque made from recycled shrimp shells as part of the SDGs initiative, and an original burger topped with Tottori Sand Dunes shallot tartar sauce and packed with seafood. You can also enjoy pear juice made with pears unique to Tottori, and drinks in collaboration with local coffee and matcha specialty shops. Be sure to stop by while you wait for the sightseeing boat!

Rakkyoya: Where you can buy Tottori Sand Dunes Rakkyo

Rakkyoya sells "Tottori Sand Dunes Rakkyo" grown in Fukube Town in the Tottori Sand Dunes. We also recommend the rakkyo, which are delivered directly from the farmers and have different flavors, as well as the shop's original rakkyo tartar sauce. They're perfect as souvenirs!
