The Shoji Ueda Photography Museum is a museum that specializes in exhibiting the works of Shoji Ueda (1913-2000), a world-renowned photographer who represents Tottori Prefecture. His work is known for its unique staged photography, known as the "Ueda style," and is particularly famous for his photographs set in the Tottori Sand Dunes and portraits of families wearing hats. The museum itself was designed by architect Shin Takamatsu, and the exposed concrete building blends beautifully with Mt. Daisen in the background.

The museum has a permanent exhibition of Ueda Shoji's masterpieces from his early years to his later years, and special exhibitions are held from time to time. In particular, if the weather is good, you can see the majestic Mt. Daisen from the large picture frame-like windows that borrow Mt. Daisen as a backdrop, and the view itself is like a work of art. In addition, since many of the works on the theme of sand dunes are on display, you will be able to understand the worldview of the works more deeply if you view them after actually visiting the Tottori Sand Dunes.

The appeal of the museum is not limited to viewing the works. Inside the museum, cameras and materials used by Shoji Ueda are on display, giving visitors a glimpse into his life as a photographer. In addition, the museum shop sells photo books and original goods, making them ideal souvenirs.

The contrast between the museum's exterior and Mt. Oyama is also beautiful.
