Hawai Museum of Topography
The Hawai Museum of Topography is situated at the summit of Mt. Umano. This 107-meter-high mountain is home to one of the oldest and largest burial mounds in the San'in region, the Umanoyama No. 4 Burial Mound. It is also known as the site where Hideyoshi Hashiba, during his attack on Tottori Castle, set up camp on Mt. Gokan and faced off against Motoharu Kikkawa’s army. The museum is a five-story building designed to resemble haniwa (clay figurines) and castles. Inside, guests will find a variety of exhibits, from ancient history to astronomy. The top floor features a 360° panoramic view of the surrounding natural beauty, including the Sea of Japan, Lake Togo, and Mt. Daisen.

The Hawai Topographical Museum was built in April, 1992 to highlight the beautiful nature of Mt. Umano and highlight local cultural assets such as the burial mounds, and the castle. Located between Lake Togo and the Sea of Japan, our observation point provides a mesmerizing view of the lake, sea, and even Mt. Daisen!
