1. Tottori UD Map (Tottori Prefecture)
The Tottori UD Map is a site operated by Tottori Prefecture where you can find detailed barrier-free information.

Additionally, the Detailed Search lets you specify conditions such as facility installations and staff support.
Here are some examples, but you can search based on various other conditions as well.
- Roof for wheelchair-friendly parking
- Roof from parking to entrance
- Audio guidance
- Intercom installation
- Wheelchair-accessible tables in dining spaces

2. Travel Friends Tottori (Tottori Prefecture)
Travel Friends Tottori is a site operated by the non-profit organization Travel Friends Tottori, which works with the philosophy of "enabling everyone to travel freely."
Travel Friends Tottori is a group that supports travelers with disabilities in Tottori Prefecture. They help make dreams come true, such as "wanting to experience horseback riding" or "wanting to climb the sand dunes," which people with disabilities might have given up on. They also conduct surveys on the barrier-free status of tourist facilities and restrooms.
Therefore, the site focuses more on support services and recommended tourist spots rather than barrier-free information.
Supporters are stationed throughout the prefecture, including certified care workers and home helpers, ensuring you can receive support with peace of mind.
