Kurayoshi (倉吉市, Kurayoshi-shi) is a city located in the central part of Tottori Prefecture, Japan.
The plain supports the agriculture of the region, and is a major center of rice and pears, as well as grapes in the sandy areas near the Sea of Japan coast.
The Nanjo were disposed after the 1600 Battle of Sekigahara, and their territory used by Nakamura Kazutada of Yonago Domain until 1609.
From 1632, a senior retainer of the Tottori Domain, the Arao clan, built a jin'ya in Kurayoshi.
Following the Meiji restoration, the town of Kurayoshi was established on October 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system.
Kurayoshi has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral city council of 17 members.
In terms of national politics, the city is part of Tottori 2nd district of the lower house of the Diet of Japan.
