Sakaiminato, Port administrative division in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

Sakaiminato stretches across the northern end of Yumigahama Peninsula, bordered by Lake Nakaumi, the Sea of Japan, and the Sakai Channel.

The city emerged as a crucial trading port in 1896, establishing maritime connections with the Korean Peninsula during Japan's industrial growth period.

The municipal area contains numerous bronze statues along Kitaro Road, depicting characters from manga creator Shigeru Mizuki's storytelling legacy.

Residents and visitors access the city through Miho-Yonago Airport and the JR West Sakai Line railway, connecting to major transportation networks.

The Tottori Domain Battery Sites, recognized as a National Historic Site, preserve military structures from previous centuries within the city limits.
