More in this area
Kaike Onsen O-yu Land
A hotel-attached day bath at the entrance to Kaike Onsen on the Sea of Japan coast in Yonago. While ryokan in Kaike charge around ¥1,500 for day use, here ¥450 covers the indoor bath, rotating specialty bath, rotenburo and jacuzzi (¥580 with sauna). Open straight through 10:00–23:00 daily. Close to the beach, so busy with swimmers in summer. 20 minutes by bus from Yonago Station.
Iwai Yukamuri Onsen Public Bath
Twenty minutes by car from the Tottori Sand Dunes, the communal bath of Iwai Onsen, one of San'in's oldest springs at 1,300 years. It preserves 'yukamuri', a quirky custom of singing while ladling water over a towel on your head. The 47.6°C source in a corner of the car park flows in 100% untreated. ¥380, open 6:00–22:00. A humble soak to pair with the Uradome coast or the dunes.
Hawai Onsen Sennentei
A ryokan built out over Lake Tōgō, known as the 'inn on the lake': lobby and baths are surrounded by water on three sides, and the open-air Kōsuke-yu sits almost level with the surface. Free-flowing simple spring water. Day bathing runs on an irregular basis, roughly 11:00–14:00, ¥1,000 cash only — phone the same day to confirm. Private open-air baths are ¥1,650 per 45 minutes, booked by phone from 9:00 that morning. 18 minutes by bus from Kurayoshi Station to the Hawai Onsen stop. No restaurant inside, so eat in the onsen town or at the Enchōen roadside station.
