Yonago, Administrative city in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The city extends across the Yonago Plain at the delta of the Hino River, facing the Sea of Japan and Lake Nakaumi to the north.

Yonago transformed from a fishing village into a regional center after the construction of Yonago Castle in 1601, establishing its role in transportation.

The name Yonago combines two kanji characters, with 米 representing rice and 子 representing child, reflecting the agricultural foundation of the region.

Miho-Yonago Airport connects the city to major destinations while the JR West railway system provides access through the San'in and Hakubi lines.

The city marks the location where the tomb of Izanami, a creation deity in Japanese mythology, stands at the border with Izumo Province.
