Kamaya Ryokan

I booked this hotel to facilitate the free men's swimming team's pilgrimage. The check-in experience far exceeded my expectations. It is very convenient that the hotel is opposite the Gu store. The hotel is managed by a grandmother who is very enthusiastic and makes me feel at home! I will consider staying here next time I go to Iwami Town!

As a long-time "free" fan, Tottori Iwami Town is a must-visit. I chose this "Kamaya Kamen" from the Iwami Town Tourism Agency website. It is near Uradomi Coast, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to Uradomi Coast. Take bus No. 33 in front of Tottori Station and get off at "Uradome Kaiganguchi", which is opposite. The whole journey takes about an hour. The hotel is a typical old Japanese building; it has a sense of age, and all hotels have free Wi-Fi; the washbasin and toilet are outside the room; the bathroom is on the first floor and is public (but only used by one person at a time). I booked a hotel room and two meals, and Uradome's seafood will be served for dinner according to the season. The hotel is mainly managed by two grandmothers who are nearly 80 years old. The day of check-in coincided with Japan's third consecutive holiday, so most of the guests were Japanese. The hotel website states that it only accepts foreign tourists who can speak Japanese and English. The old lady will try her best to introduce the room facilities, meal times, etc. in unskilled English. On the day I checked out, the old lady asked me if I was a "free" fan? I said yes, and she also gave me two free postcards. There is also a millet shop next to the station opposite the hotel. I was a little nervous about choosing this hotel at first, as there were no reviews on Ctrip. Because I would arrive early, I specifically asked Ctrip if I could help contact the hotel, and Ctrip was very responsible in contacting me. When we finally arrived at the hotel, the old lady helped arrange our luggage. I went to take the Uradome Cruise, and when I came back, my luggage was already in the room. The hotel facilities are not too high-end, but it feels like staying at home. If you want to experience this feeling, just choose "Kamaya".
