Short answer
The official Tottori Sand Museum FAQ separates items lost inside the museum or its parking area from items lost around the wider Tottori Sand Dunes. Museum and museum-parking items go to the museum office at 0857-20-2231. An item in the wider dune area may involve the local police box or the Natural Park Foundation Tottori branch, while older or unclear-location items may be handled by Tottori Prefectural Police. Record the exact landscape or facility before contacting a desk.
