Sekigane Onsen Yūmeikan
関金温泉 せきがね湯命館
A day bathing facility at Sekigane Onsen, a 1,300-year-old spa in the hills of Kurayoshi near the Tottori–Okayama border. Once known as the 'platinum bath', its clear radium (radioactive) spring is said to be among the richest in Japan and leaves skin soft. Men's and women's indoor and open-air areas offer eight kinds of tubs, and the outdoor bath looks across ridges running toward Mt. Daisen. Adults pay ¥820, elementary pupils ¥410 and small children enter free. Open 10:00–21:00 (last entry 20:30), closed Mondays (next day if a holiday). On site are the Shirogane dining room using local produce, a free tatami hall, paid private rooms (¥1,580 for two hours), massage and beauty treatments, and free parking for 100 cars. From JR Kurayoshi Station take the Sekigane-bound bus about 35 minutes to Sekigane Onsen and walk 5 minutes, or drive about 40 minutes from Yubara IC on the Yonago Expressway via Route 313. Pair it with the cliff temple Nageiredō on Mt. Mitoku, Kurayoshi's white-walled storehouses or the Hiruzen highlands.
