Kaigara Bushi, also spelled Kaigarabushi or Kaigara-bushi, is a Japanese folk song that originated in Hamamura Onsen, Ketaka Town, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture. It is a work song of the fishermen who worked on the Japan Sea coast.
Insider tip — Hamamura Onsen on the Tottori coast lies near the Hawai Onsen district and Lake Tōgō, in the San'in region facing the Sea of Japan near the great Tottori sand dunes. The sodium-chloride coastal springs serve a quiet and traditional corner of western Honshu, where the dunes, the warm lakeside springs, and the rural coastal landscape define one of Japan's least-visited and most unspoiled prefectures, far from the crowds of the major tourist routes.
