    On Saturday, we visited Tottori station, and got off at the Jin-kaku in front of 100 yen bus green. On the way to Jin-Kaku, I stopped by. Entrance fee: 180, only three rooms of the permanent exhibition, but it was a wonderful exhibition far exceeding expectations. It is abundant in a variety of fossils, specimens, depth peel, haniwa, folk art, Buddhist statues, and spent about one hour small. Because the weather was not good, there are few visitors, and it is possible to go around freely slowly, and it is the best spot for the favorite one.
