The Birthplace of the San'in Railway is marked by a monument in front of JR Yonago Station. It commemorates the first railway in the San'in region, which ran between Sakai, Yonago, and Mikuriya. The monument features a dynamic sculpture of a train ascending towards the sky, reminiscent of Galaxy Express 999. Visitors can also see a display of steam locomotive axles and wheels. It's a quick and interesting stop for railway enthusiasts and those looking for a unique photo opportunity while passing through Yonago.
