Hot Springs Hotels in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is very close to Tottori Station. From the North Exit, you just cross the underpass and pass the Maruyu Department Store. Perhaps because it's in Tottori, the single room isn't particularly small. The room facilities are typical of a Japanese business hotel. On the second floor, there's a large public bath and a relaxation area. Washing machines are free to use, and they even offer complimentary ramen at night. The breakfast is also quite substantial.

My two nights here were a perfect escape. The room felt like a retreat into calm. I especially loved the private baths, quiet, serene, and easy to access. What made the stay truly unforgettable was the kindness of the staff. From the afternoon tea with a Japanese sweet served in the room to their constant thoughtfulness and gentle smiles, every detail made me feel welcomed and cared for. My stay here will remain one of the most memorable parts of my time in Japan.

The hotel is conveniently located, about a 5-minute walk from Tottori Station and a 5-minute taxi ride to Hokkaido Kaiten Sushi. It boasts a nice onsen (hot spring) and was very clean. Complimentary disposable amenities were readily available for guests. On the downside, the breakfast was quite disappointing – very basic with limited variety, and many items weren't restocked, which certainly didn't justify its price. Also, be aware that if you're staying with a child in the same room, there's an additional charge of 3000 JPY per night, and breakfast for the child is extra.

It's about a 10-minute walk from Tottori Station and has a hot spring bath. The room has three beds, perfect for a family of three. The area isn't very busy, so we only visited Conan Town due to time constraints (from Tottori Station, you have to take the Shinkansen to Kurayoshi, and once there, you have to walk). I was a bit disappointed not to visit the sand dunes.

It's hard to review this hot spring inn. It's quite new, and the facilities are okay, but the wooden building creaks when the air conditioner is on on hot days. It creaked a few times in the middle of the night, preventing me from getting much sleep in the first half of the night, but that doesn't seem like a fixable problem. As for the price, it's quite high for Tottori, but the food was mediocre. It was fresh, but dinner was overloaded with fish, accompanied by cold pumpkin soup. The fishy flavor was enhanced by the pumpkin soup, and the overall combination wasn't well thought out. Breakfast was even more shocking: a pile of pickles... no matter how beautiful the dishes, they were still pickles... and finally a small grilled fish. This is below average for inn dining. The older waiters were generally quite helpful, but the younger ones weren't, and didn't greet each other very proactively. I won't be going back.

I was driving, so I'm not sure about other public transportation options. The buildings and rooms were rather old, and the hot spring wasn't very big. The view from the window was a sea view, which would have been nice, but unfortunately the weather was bad and it rained when I checked in. Overall, it wasn't great value for money. I'll try different accommodations next time.

During this 6-day trip to Tottori, the best hot spring hotel I stayed in was the Misasa Onsen in Kurayoshi ♨️~ Wancuilou. I booked a one-night-two-meals package. The hot spring is a special kind of hot spring that contains radium radioactive elements ♨️. It is said that it can cure various diseases, so it is very popular in Japan 👏! We booked a Takachiho Japanese-style room, which is very large and can accommodate more than 6 people! The hotel's dinner is very rich and looks like a work of art! It is a perfect combination of vision and taste buds! The hotel also provides free pick-up and drop-off service from Kurayoshi Station!

The hotel is less than a 10-minute walk from the JR station, but dining options and convenience stores are a bit of a distance away. The room was quite compact; our double room didn't have enough space for large luggage. Furthermore, the provided upper bunk appeared somewhat dirty and was unusable. However, the hotel offers complimentary breakfast and lobby drinks, along with a small indoor hot spring, making it quite convenient for solo travelers.

A great variety of adorable yukata were available for us to choose from. After a relaxing soak in the onsen, it was truly splendid to quietly admire the garden. The service was also top-notch. The only slight letdown was the food; while plentiful, the seasoning wasn't quite there.

The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Everything at the buffet was delicious, and I was especially impressed by the bamboo steamed squid served at dinner. The carbonated drinks and plum wine I enjoyed in the lounge on the first floor after meals and after a bath were also delicious. The room was clean, and the view of the snow and hot spring town from the window was amazing... The shuttle service to Kurayoshi Station on my way back was also very helpful (reservations required, 140 yen). Overall, it was a great hotel!
