Hakuto Shrine, the setting for the myth of the White Rabbit of Inaba, enshrines Hakuto God. It's believed to offer blessings for skin diseases and matchmaking, as it brought together Okuninushi-no-Mikoto and Princess Yagami. Visit the Misogi Pond where the rabbit is said to have washed its body. The shrine grove is a natural monument. Adjacent to the Michi-no-Eki "Myth of Hakuto Village". Easily accessible by bus from Tottori Station, it's a must-see for those interested in mythology and scenic spots.
