Question 2

Is Sakaiminato walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for the main sights. From JR Sakaiminato Station you can walk the flat Mizuki Shigeru Road to see the yokai statues and the Mizuki Shigeru Museum, then continue to the waterfront and Fish Center.

For farther spots, take the JR Sakai Line to Yonago or Yonago Kitaro Airport, and the Oki Kisen ferry from Sakai Port to the Oki Islands. Buses from Yonago go to Kaike Onsen if you want a seaside soak.

If you prefer comfort or plan day trips, consider a private tour in Sakaiminato with private transportation.
