Chizu Moments: Through Travelers' Eyes
Post
I took a short trip to Tottori recently to get away from the usual crowded spots. Kyoto and Shirakawa-go are way too packed these days, so I decided to head into the mountains of Chizu to find Itaihara Village. It's a preserved mountain settlement about 400 meters up, and it was exactly what I wanted—quiet, authentic, and practically empty of tourists. The village has centuries-old thatched-roof houses and stone paths. It’s not some polished tourist attraction; it’s a real, quiet village where local elderly folks actually live. They’ll give you a polite nod and just go about their day. A few practical things if you plan to visit: 1. Food & Facilities: There are no shops, cafes, or restaurants here. Bring your own water and snacks. It’s a place to walk and clear your head, not to shop. 1 to 2 hours is more than enough time. 2. Ishitani Family Residence: Just a 10-minute drive away. It's a massive, historic estate. Usually, the interior is closed to the public (except sometimes in autumn), but seeing the architecture from the outside is still quite worth it. 3. Transport: Driving is best. If you don't drive, take the JR train to Chizu Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride (around 1,000 yen). Definitely arrange a return taxi with the driver beforehand, as you won't find any empty cabs waiting around the village. Overall, if you need a flashy itinerary, skip this. But if you appreciate slow, quiet places and want to see Japan's old countryside without the noise, Itaihara is highly recommended. Quite worth the detour.
