Monday, August 19, 2024 Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) is excited to unveil a new regular flight route to Yonago in Japan’s Tottori Prefecture, with services commencing on October 27, 2024. This introduction marks the airline’s third Japanese destination, following earlier launches to Tokyo and Osaka. The new flights, set to operate three times weekly between Hong Kong and Yonago (Yonago Kitaro Airport), are an extension of current charter flights established to cater to the summer travel demand.
Yonago, positioned in the western region of Tottori, is celebrated for its historical charm and breathtaking natural landscapes, including Mount Daisen and the Tottori Sand Dunes. Visitors often include a visit to Kaike Onsen in their travel plans, where they can enjoy a restorative hot spring bath complemented by a spectacular sunrise over the Sea of Japan. Another key attraction is Mizuki Shigeru Road, which delights both young and old with its 800-meter-long arcade adorned with 170 bronze statues of iconic manga characters by the famed artist Shigeru Mizuki, including the beloved one-eyed ghost boy, Kitaro.
