There are many ways to begin a journey to San’in.
Some arrive by overnight trains, waking up to a quiet morning in an unfamiliar place.
Others begin their journey from the sky, descending slowly into this land between mountains and sea.
Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport is one of those gateways.
This is the nickname of Tottori Airport, officially known as Tottori Airport.
The name reflects the region’s connection to Detective Conan, whose creator is from Tottori.
It is a place where you encounter the world of Detective Conan,
and at the same time, a starting point toward a region where mythology, folklore, and quiet towns still shape everyday life.
Flights operate from major cities such as Tokyo (Haneda) and Osaka (Itami),
making it one of the most accessible entry points to the San’in region.
From a story you already know,
to stories you have yet to discover—
this is where the journey begins.
① An airport where Conan lives
At Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport,
you will find characters, displays, and small details inspired by Detective Conan.
These elements gently welcome travelers,
turning the beginning of a journey into something a little more playful.
From the world of Conan,
you step into the deeper, quieter stories of the region beyond.
From the familiar world of Conan,
the journey gently opens into older, quieter stories—
stories shaped by wind, sea, and myth.

② Toward a land of mythology and folklore
From Tottori City, if you travel west,
the landscape begins to change.
In Izumo, there are ancient myths.
In Sakaiminato, traces of yokai folklore remain.
In Matsue, a quiet culture shaped by water and shadow continues to exist.
Travel here feels like stepping slowly into stories that have been told for centuries.
Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport is one of the first entrances into this layered world.
In spring, especially during the release of new Conan films,
related events are sometimes held in Tottori City.
In 2026, for example, the
“Detective Conan TV Anime 30th Anniversary Exhibition”
was held at the Tottori Prefectural Museum from April 4 to April 26,
with possible entry restrictions during busy periods.
From the airport, buses connect to Tottori Station,
as well as to Kurayoshi and the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory,
the museum dedicated to Conan’s creator.
There, you can explore not only the story of Conan,
but also the world of detective fiction that inspired it.
