Utsubuki Koen Park, at the base of Mt. Utsubuki, is a beautiful forested area in the heart of Kurayoshi, Tottori prefecture. Famous for its vibrant cherry blossoms, there are a number of activities you can enjoy in the area. Inside the forrest, there are a number of deer, turtles, and guinea pigs. As with all wild animals, treat them with the proper caution and respect. If a walk along the park's beautiful paths makes you hungry, the Utsubuki Koen Dango is a short distance away, offering the area's local dango specialty. Utsubuki Koen Park is fun for the whole family and a great way to spend an afternoon.
