2025 Misasa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Tottori, easily accessible with direct flights from Incheon to Yonago! Misasa Onsen Village is located halfway between Yonago and Tottori City. The large building at the entrance of this village is Misasakan. This is a very clean hot spring resort with a 2-person kaiseki and breakfast included on weekdays for about 200,000 won. You can choose the color of your yukata when you check in. The large public bath that guests can use for free includes an open-air hot spring and is very spacious. There are hot spring baths with different concepts in the men's and women's baths, and you can switch between morning and night. The kaiseki cuisine that included Tottori's specialty wagyu and crab was also really delicious. By the way, you eat kaiseki at the restaurant. All the staff from the reception to the restaurant are friendly. There are two types of paid charter baths: one for 2 people and one for 15 people that can be used by the whole family. The 15-person bath was about 30,000 won. If you want to reserve only one group at a time, it is better to make a reservation at the reception when checking in. If you have the maximum number of people, it is the same price whether you have 2 or 10 people. You can use it for 50 minutes, but since the water is hot, it is difficult to stay longer anyway, so it was just the right amount of time. When you enter the outdoor private bath, there are shower facilities and lockers next to the open-air hot spring, so it is convenient. It is also a good way to liven up the atmosphere to buy a cup of sake at a convenience store in advance and drink it by soaking it in the hot spring water! 🍶 When you enter the wide open-air hot spring that looks like a pond and listen to the sound of the leaves and the wind, you will be so happy 🥹 And the hot spring is clean because the water keeps flowing The atmosphere of Misasa-cho where Misasa-kan is located is also good. There is a public foot bath facility on the bridge across from the ryokan, and the shopping street across the bridge is also pretty. Please note that stores tend to close at 8pm in March. 📍Misasakan, Tottori 📍174 Yamada, Misasa, Tōhaku District, Tottori 682-0122 Japan ✔️If you inquire by email after making a reservation, you can receive a free van pick-up/drop-off at the train station. #Misasa #Hot Spring Travel #Hot Spring Hotel #Tottori #Yonago #March Travel Support Fund Event

\\Tourist Spots// Located in the center of the Japanese Heritage town of Misasa Onsen, Kawara Onsen is a mixed-gender hot spring that is open 24 hours a day. It was a surprising hot spring with such a sense of openness that you could see almost everything. The bath is closed from 7 to 12 on odd-numbered days due to cleaning. It was just at that time that we went, so there was no hot water in the bath. About 20 minutes by car from JR Kurayoshi Station Information as of July 2022. #Breathtaking view #Photogenic spot #Tottori #Misasa Onsen #Western Japan #Hot spring

This was the worst experience of the one night, two meals package. Maybe the hotel was too old and the Japanese people had to be polite and friendly (whether real or not), but this was an unforgettable memory. The dinner was totally unsatisfactory, not to mention the good ingredients, it didn't even make you feel full. Usually, Kaiseki cuisine, when in season, will satisfy you to the extreme and be unforgettable. Breakfast was acceptable. ✨Hotel features are too old ♨️The supporting facilities are too old 🛁The room is too old 🍽️Breakfast 🛎️Hotel services 💗The stay experience will not stay again

I stayed at the Misasakan in Misasa-cho, Tottori Prefecture for two nights. I chose a room with an open-air bath. The room was clean and convenient. Amenities were plentiful. The lobby has a lovely retro atmosphere. Free shuttle service is available from the nearest JR Kurayoshi Station. For dinner, we had a semi-private room, and on the first day we had Wagyu beef shabu-shabu, and on the second day we had a luxurious hotpot of abalone and spiny lobster. Both days also came with fresh sashimi. Breakfast was buffet style. All the meals were delicious! The service was polite and great, with greetings and consideration wherever you were! Drinking hot springs are also available on site. A comfortable ryokan. I'd like to come again.

#AustraliaFlightEvent Misasa Onsen Village Ryokan Recommendation ❤️Mansuirou (朝温泉旅館朝薬師の湯万発) 682-0122鳥取東伯郡三朝町山田5 5 Yamada, Misasa, TOhaku District, Tottori 📞+81858-43-0571 This is the ryokan that appeared in Detective Conan. I arrived a little early but Mr. Song Young also arrived early so I was able to move quickly. If you follow the guides(?) they will show you where to sit and provide you with a welcome drink in matcha Check-in is quick but the staff doesn't speak English well They communicate with rare words but they check in slowly in a mixture of English and Japanese so that you can understand as much as possible The key is a classic key but I don't really have anything to use It was the cheapest room among the double rooms but the room was quite big. It was daytime so the blankets weren't spread out and there was a large table and a tea room where you could drink tea. #HotelRecommendation

How can you come to Japan and not take a hot spring bath? This time I stayed in 3 hot spring hotels in the San'in area. All of them offer one night and two meals, and each has its own characteristics, especially the food! All the ingredients are fresh from the local area, and seafood such as fish, crabs, abalone, etc. are all caught that morning and directly supplied. I specially compiled it to share with you. They are: ♨️Shimane Prefecture Yunokawa Onsen: Yuya-an (Pictures 1-6) The hotel is located in an old house, and the Japanese-style room I stayed in has a garden view. There are 5 private baths to choose from, 3 of which are open-air baths where you can enjoy a bath while looking at the garden. 🍽Dinner was a Kaiseki banquet. Fresh black throat fish and Shimane wagyu beef were the specialties of Soan. I also recommend their award-winning wines. 🥣Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, which was also healthy and delicious. Soan has its own garden, which is quite picturesque. Unfortunately, it rained when I stayed there. The Sanin region is rainy, so the moss in the garden grew particularly well. Address: 1491 Gakuto, Hikawa-cho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture ♨️Misasa Onsen, Tottori Prefecture: Misasa-kan (Figure 7-11) Misasa Onsen has a long history of more than 850 years and is the world's leading radioactive hot spring with the highest radon content. I followed Conan to check in at Misasa Onsen Misasakan. The hotel is super big and there are several hot springs. Private hot springs require reservations, but public hot springs can be soaked at any time. I highly recommend the outdoor hot springs and the rose bath, which is like taking a bath in the garden, so beautiful. The room has Japanese tatami and you can enjoy the garden from the room. In addition, the Misasa Onsen Village itself is very beautiful, with cherry trees planted along the river. I can't imagine how beautiful the cherry blossom season is. 🍽The dinner banquet has crabs caught that day and beef sukiyaki, which is extremely rich. 🥣Breakfast is a buffet. Address: 174 Yamada, Misasa-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture. The nearest JR station to Misasa Onsen is Kurayoshi Station. There is a direct bus from Kurayoshi to Misasa. ♨️Tottori Prefecture Kaike Onsen: Kasuitei (Pictures 12-15) By the sea! A real sea view room. If you have time, you can go for a walk on the beach. I stayed in a Japanese-style room with a bed. The room was very spacious and very suitable for people who are not used to sleeping on tatami. When I opened the curtains, I could see the sea view. In the morning, there were seagulls flying by the window. The hot springs are divided into indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor open-air hot springs also offer a panoramic sea view. I took a bath once in the morning and once in the evening, enjoying the relaxing time while watching the seaside. Moreover, they have their own springs, all of which are running water. 🍽The dinner was quite luxurious, with fresh abalone cooked on site, special Yonago wagyu beef, and clam soup. I ate until I leaned against the wall. Address: Kaike Onsen 4-19-10, Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture

Our journey in Tottori isn't over yet. After visiting Yonago and Tottori, we headed to Kurayoshi. Upon arriving at Kurayoshi Station, we initially planned to take a bus to the hotel. However, we accidentally met the hotel driver and learned through a translation device that guests could use the shuttle bus. Luckily, there were seats available. We chose Misasa Royal Hotel for its reasonable price. There is a convenience store nearby and a bus stop, making it easy for us to visit the shopping street in Misasa Onsen. The hotel is very convenient. The hotel environment is spacious. There is a microwave in the lobby, and you can also rent yukata. The rooms are a mix of Japanese and Western styles, with tatami mats and Western-style beds. The mattresses are very comfortable, and we had a nice view of the scenery and flowing water from our room. Regarding the bath facilities, there is a private bath available for ¥3300. You need to contact the front desk, and the staff will personally take you there and remind you to lock the door. The private bath is a traditional wooden tub with a comfortable water temperature. The large public bath has a steam room and an open-air bath. The spring water is quite hot, but I was able to adapt. After soaking, you can enjoy a sauna. In the changing room, there are various skincare and hair care products. I couldn't resist buying some skincare products from the hotel shop because they contain Misasa Onsen spring water. For dining, both dinner and breakfast are buffet-style. The dinner theme is a crab feast, which I absolutely love. You can enjoy crab in various ways, such as grilled or in a hot pot.

Misasa Onsen specialty: a mixed-gender riverside open-air bath that can be seen from the outside ♨️ Originally, swimsuits and towels are prohibited, but I heard that it is now practically acceptable, so I tried it in a swimsuit 👙 To be honest, I didn't mind being naked at night, but I wanted to take a photo 🥺← The local men took turns going in naked, so I think 90% of the girls wouldn't like being naked 😂 It's a fun spot to talk about, so I recommend it if you want to chat with locals! The local men we met didn't seem unpleasant at all ☺️ The busiest shopping district in Misasa Onsen is directly above, so I recommend going there together 🙆🏻♀️ . . . 📍Misasa Onsen riverside bath 🗺Tottori, Japan 🕑 - 💤Morning on odd-numbered days 💰 - #tripdomestictravel #wintertrip #onsen

There is nothing around, but I was fascinated by the orange lights and the beautiful river and bridge. It is a nice place with a nice atmosphere.

🗓️Itinerary: Kurayoshi Misasa Hot Spring Healing Tour 💞Recommendation reason: Misasa Onsen is a hot spring area located in Misasa-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture, Japan; because the local hot spring contains radon produced by the natural decay of radium, it is a rare radioactive spring. In the past, Japan's Okayama University Hospital had the Misasa Medical Center here for hot spring therapy. Currently, the Misasa Onsen Hospital is still in operation, so Misasa Onsen has become a hot spring area with both tourist and recuperation functions.

Hi everyone-! This is travel creator Chomad :) Are you planning a lot of trips to Japan these days? I visited the somewhat unfamiliar Kansai 'San'in region', not the Osaka/Tokyo/Fukuoka/Sapporo that are commonly known in Korea! I visited three small cities in Mie Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture, and Tottori Prefecture, and there were so many inland tourists that I didn't see a single Korean group during my trip. The San'in region is a place where you can really feel the unique Japanese sensibility! I recommend it to those who have been to many big cities in Japan and want to go somewhere different from the places that everyone else goes!! And right now, Trip.com is holding an event where you can make a reservation with a discount of 18,600 won if you enter the coupon code below. [~Thu, Feb 29] ※First-come-first-served basis ends!

I stayed in a special room on October 29-30. The room had no view because of construction, but it was spacious and I was able to relax. The room did not include meals, so I ate around Kurayoshi Station before heading out. The bath was spacious and very nice, and the baths change every day for men and women, so I could take a bath both in the evening and in the morning, which was great! Check-out was at 11am, so I didn't have to rush for a morning bath. I would recommend this to anyone traveling nearby! #HotSpring #TottoriSandDunes #Tottori #MisasaOnsen Atmosphere/Facilities: Free parking Average price: 6,500-18,000 yen Address: 365-1 Misasa, Misasa-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori 682-0123

📌 Tottori Prefecture Mitokusan Sanbutsuji Temple Ninjudo Hall 📅 2023.04.19 Ninjudo Hall is known as Japan's most dangerous national treasure. To see Ninjudo Hall, you have to walk through a steep mountain path. How the Ruotou Hall was built on the cliff so many years ago is still a mystery. There is only legend that the founder of Taoism used his magical powers to throw it up after the temple was built. If you start from Misasa Onsen to reach Mitokuyama, it takes about 15-20 minutes by bus. If you want to climb Mt. Mitoku to see this national treasure of Japan, you must go from around April to November. The mountain will be closed at other times due to snow. Climbers are not allowed to climb alone. Before climbing, they need to pay the shrine fee and the climbing fee, which is a total of JPY1200. The staff will first check the climbers' clothing. They are not allowed to wear shorts or other non-standard clothing. The shoes must have enough grooves. If the shoes do not meet the standards, you will be asked to buy a pair of straw sandals before you can enter. Mountaineering requires the use of both hands and feet, so it is best to prepare a pair of work gloves, which can also be purchased in temples. After checking and registering for the climb, you can set off by putting on the "Six Roots of Purity" shoulder strap provided by the staff. After crossing the small bridge, the first stop is a ladder formed by the exposed roots of a large tree, which should be the easiest place to walk in all the "levels". To climb further up, you need to hold the iron chain to climb the cliff. There is one before reaching the "Manjusri Hall" and "Jizo Hall". One of them is higher and steeper, and you need to hold the iron chain to climb up. It's okay to climb up, but it takes a bit of courage to climb down the mountain, and it is indeed quite dangerous. After climbing these two halls, you need to have a bit of balance on horseback. Soon after you pass them, you can see the Fuxing Hall. The Ruofu Hall is on a cliff. There seems to be a speaker playing Buddhist music nearby. I have always been curious about where the speaker is. It seems to be coming from the Ruofu Hall but it seems not to be. I feel a little bit like I can climb up from there😆 At my speed, it takes about three hours to go back and forth. It is recommended to leave earlier so that you can have more time to take pictures along the way. The registration time for entering the mountain is from 8 am to 3 pm, and climbers must return to the registration office at 4:30 pm. There is a place at the trailhead where climbers can wash off the dirt before leaving. Although the place is remote and it takes some time to get here, it is a very unforgettable experience. Recommended for friends who like adventure to climb 😆 IG: sumi_gotravel #日本旅游 #日本旅行 #Japan #日本 #JapanTravel #Travelholic #Tottori #日本景点 #日本景点推荐 #旅行 #旅游 #旅游 #旅游 #旅游景点 #VisitJapan #托取 #托取県観光 #Tottoriprefecture #島取旅行 #VisitJapanHKnow #投入堂 #三德山 #nageiridou #mitokusann #托取 #注册酒店试睡人 #注册轮线试坐人

Sande Mountain has been hailed as the most dangerous national treasure in Japan. The entire temple is located in a cliff of 520 meters above sea level. The construction method is still a mystery. Who built this 1300-year-old temple and how it was built is still unknown. Legend has it that in the ancient times, a practitioner practiced three pieces of lotus petals, hoping to fall to the place where they had a relationship with the Buddha. As a result, one of them fell on the Sande Mountain. A mana with a strong manpower exerts the temple between the cliffs, so it is called the input hall. If you want to go to the mountain where the church is located, you must register, because the next journey is not sightseeing but cultivation. It is only possible to go up the mountain at a specified time, and for the sake of safety, it is forbidden to go up the mountain alone. In the registration office, in addition to providing a variety of climbing equipment, reminding the practitioners to pay attention to safety, but also has a "six clean" sign. When the mountain enters the mountain, it is clean and the six are clean. We, did not really climb the mountain, but fortunately met the abbot of the Three Buddha Temple. In front of the temple, turn 108 beads, the beads fall and sound, I hope the troubles of the three lives faded.
