Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography

The Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography displays over 12,000 photographs and artworks within a modernist structure against the backdrop of Mount Daisen.

Founded in 1995, the museum preserves the legacy of Shoji Ueda, who gained international recognition for his surrealist photographic compositions in the San'in region.

The museum maintains a permanent collection of Ueda's signature works, including the renowned Sand Dunes series that captures the landscapes of Tottori Prefecture.

Located 25 minutes by taxi from Yonago Station, the museum opens from 10:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 1000 yen for adults and 300 yen for children.

The second floor features a camera obscura installation with a 625-kilogram lens, allowing visitors to experience the interior perspective of a giant camera.
