Tottori Sand Dunes
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Tottori Sand Dunes

鳥取砂丘

These expansive sand dunes served as inspiration for the post-apocalyptic desert landscapes in Nausicaä. The windswept terrain and shifting sands mirror the desolate world where toxic spores have transformed the earth into a wasteland.
