Kaei Onsen ♨️There are many different types of hot spring hotels. I went to Kaei Onsen before the epidemic and saw a hotel with a very good environment and appearance. I decided to try it again~ The hotel is located very close to the beach and facing the sea. The overall environment is quiet and comfortable. Before entering the hotel, the staff came to greet the guests. They were very polite and attentive to checking in and explaining the different facilities. Feeling good about my stay👍🏻 After checking in, the staff took me to the lobby and told me that I could pick up my yukata and that there were small baskets available. On the other side, there were drinks and their fruits available for tasting, which was very considerate. The room is very large, the bed is very comfortable, the lobby is very spacious, and the bathroom is also very large. It is directly connected to the terrace. There is an open-air bath on the terrace♨️. It is very comfortable to bathe while looking at the sea. In addition, there is also a hot spring on the top floor of the hotel, which is indoor And open-air, it’s also very nice👍🏻 There is a dedicated person observing the evening meal from a distance, and the dishes are served at a fast pace, one after another. The food is exquisite, the seasonal ingredients are fresh, and it is very delicious😋 The morning meal was served in buffet style, looking at the sea, it was very relaxing ~ This hotel is really worth coming back to stay for two or three days to rest and relax👍🏻 #日本hotel #hot spring hotel

Taking advantage of Hong Kong Airlines' winter seasonal route Hong Kong-Yonago, I took a solo trip to Yonago Yonago City, a hot spring town that is considered a niche among Japanese people, for two days and three nights. If you book an outdoor hot spring room with a white fan, you can see the Daisen Mountain directly from the balcony. The room decoration is traditional and has a sense of age, but the hygiene standards are very high, and the overall experience is very comfortable. Yonago City is not very playable except for the surrounding Daisen. There is Conan Town nearby and you can go back and forth on the same day. The hotel is a very traditional Japanese style hotel where you stay and eat for two, and the food is very authentic. In addition to the private baths in the rooms, the hotel also has two public baths. Basically all the guests are Japanese, and only Cantonese and Taiwanese Mandarin can be heard in Yonago City. Overall, it is a hotel and travel destination worth experiencing. I hope that Hong Kong Airlines or Hong Kong Express can open similar niche direct flights again this year, so that we can have more interesting travel plans before and after the Christmas holidays.

How to get there: 18-ticket ticket Food & Restaurants: The crab was amazing. You can eat cheaply at seafood bowls and conveyor belt sushi. The beef bone ramen is also delicious with its unique flavor! I recommend Goku, located in front of the station, which is cheap. They sell various varieties of pears even in winter. The dairy products from Shirobara Dairy, which has a factory at the foot of Mt. Daisen, were also delicious. There are lots of things to see, such as Kitaro Road, Conan, and the Tottori Sand Dunes. Be careful, as there are not many trains! #crab #Yonago #Kaike Onsen #GeGeGe no Kitaro #Pear

K.GARAGE in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture The interior of the cafe is very colorful and American-style. There are also many American goods next to the cafe!

We were greeted at Yonago Station by yokai such as Gegege no Kitaro, Medama no Oyaji, and Nezumi-Otoko! There was even a Nezumi-Otoko painted on the stairs at Yonago Station, and a map of Japanese yokai. You can take the Kitaro train on the JR Sakai Line, which connects Yonago Station to Sakae-ko Station, and you can see Gegege no Kitaro characters all over the train. Yonago Station is "Nezumi-Otoko Station" and Sakaiminato Station is "Kitaro Station". All 16 stations, including those in between, are named after yokai, so you can enjoy the world of Gegege no Kitaro from Yonago Station 🤭 When you leave the station, the train object that gradually rises into the sky in the square was very impressive. Please go to Yonago to meet Gegege no Kitaro and the yokai! #Tottori Prefecture #Yonago Station #GeGeGe no Kitaro #Nezumio Station

I stayed at Hotel Sanada in Yonago city, Tottori prefecture. The rooms were beyond what you would expect from the exterior and price! I was especially impressed by how big the TV was.

If you visit Yonago, please try staying here! #Best value for money hotel #National travel support #Yonago

During my trip to remote islands, I went to eat at California Kitchen in Yonago! Everything was delicious, but I would definitely recommend the California Roll! The cheese and salmon created an exquisite harmony! They also had fish and chips, which reminded me of my trip to America. Be sure to stop by before heading to Shichirui Port, which you will use for your trip to the remote islands of the Oki Islands!! #RemoteIslandTrip #CaliforniaKitchen #CaliforniaRoll

Access: About 20 minutes on foot from Yonago Station Tourist attractions: Yonago Castle is a castle ruin at the top of a small mountain. It is only 90m high, so you can climb to the top with a little effort. It doesn't require much physical strength, it's quite nice. You can see Yonago city from the top. If you slowly walk down the mountain, you will find a park near Lake Nakaumi. There are dozens of monkeys there. A walk in the park might make you feel good. #Breathtaking view

The airport located in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, why does the airport name add Kitaro? Because Kitaro author Shigeru Mizuki was born in Tottori Prefecture. The airport has many Gee Taro decorations and many photo spots. Fans must not miss it~ #OverseasTravel

Yado Shion-tei is a luxury inn that only accepts 10 groups per day and opened in Kaike Onsen, Tottori Prefecture, in March 2021. The luxurious interior is carefully designed down to the smallest detail, allowing you to spend a quiet time with your loved ones in a calm, private space. All 10 rooms can be rented out for events, small weddings and memorial services, brand product exhibitions and sales, and more, and can be used for other purposes besides accommodation. We value our guests' privacy, so we have deliberately not installed a large public bath, but instead have set up a private spa lounge where you can enjoy champagne and other drinks and sweets. Two of the guest rooms are equipped with a device that raises and lowers the bathtub floor, allowing bathers in special wheelchairs to bathe. Even those who use wheelchairs all the time and have given up on hot springs can enjoy the experience. In the tea room installed within the building, Urasenke Tankokai tea ceremonies and lessons are held, and guests can join in on the spot. We are extremely particular about our ingredients, and we deal with contracted farmers in Mt. Daisen, long-established wholesalers in Sakaiminato, and crab fishing boats. We use "Tottori Wagyu Olein 55", which has been awarded the highest quality in Japan, and "Ikiboshi", a brand of Matsuba crab from Tottori Prefecture. In this special space that pursues beauty without any compromise, please create the best memories that will free your mind. #Yado Shion-tei #Ryokan #Kaike Onsen #Tottori #Hotel

Oyu Land is located in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture. It also has a super public bath and a hotel. We selected it as a place to stay for summer sauna trips! You can enjoy set meals and beer at the bathhouse. After the sauna, we toasted with a fried horse mackerel set meal and beer! It was great. We were also able to use the family bath (private) in the morning, which is only available to guests. From the room we stayed in, we could see Mt. Daisen. At that time, we were able to see a rainbow after the rain! You can also see the Sea of ​​Japan from some rooms! If you have a car or motorcycle, you can go to Sakaiminato and Ejima Ohashi Bridge, famous for its Betafumizaka slope, from there ☺️ #sauna trip #domestic travel

The tranquil environment here is especially suitable for family gatherings or chatting with friends. In spring, the cherry blossoms in the park bloom beautifully, making it a great spot for flower viewing. There are also facilities for children to play, ensuring a pleasant experience for family visitors.

Cherry blossoms in full bloom at Yoshinoyama 📍Itinerary Introduction 🚩Travel route 🏖️Check-in attractions 🚇Transportation Take the Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi (starting) to Yoshino (Nara) (final stop) in Tennoji area. After exiting the station, you will see two lines. The one on the right with fewer people is for the cable car up the mountain (down the mountain), and the one on the left with more people is for the bus to Nakasenbon (mid-mountain) (recommended). At Nakasenbon, you can transfer to another bus to Kamisenbon (top of the mountain). On the way back, you can consider taking the hiking trail (not the road) down the mountain to Kintetsu Yoshino Station and enjoy the sea of ​​flowers along the way. My friend chose to take the bus, but there was a traffic jam (too many tourists drove themselves), so it took him even longer than it did for me. Arrive at the train station and queue up at the platform as soon as possible. My friend couldn't get on the train because there were too many passengers and had to wait for the next train for 30 minutes. 📷Shadow Phase 🍜Special Food 🏠Accommodation recommendations 💡Note: Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi to Yoshino (Nara) ¥1,170 Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi to Yoshino (Nara) ¥1,170

Kaike Onsen Beach faces the Sea of ​​Japan, with clear water, fine and clean sand, and the sea surface is often as smooth as a mirror. The beach is open every summer. When the weather is good, it is very lively here. Many people like to enjoy sea bathing here, or listen to the sound of waves beating at sunset to heal their body and mind. Kaike Onsen Beach is also separated from the hot spring town. It is very rare in Japan to be able to go to the beach and soak in hot springs at the same time. No wonder it was selected as one of the "88 Best Bathing Beaches in Japan" 🙂↕️ #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Yuzuki Onsen Hotel in Kaike Onsen area is definitely worthy of praise and highly recommended. I will definitely stay there again next time I go to Yonago. We booked a superior sea view room. The room has a very good sense of space, full of colorful light, and makes people feel very relaxed. One night and two meals, dinner is kaiseki cuisine, the style and taste are very good, and breakfast is a buffet. The ingredients are authentic and of very high quality.

📍Itinerary Overview 🚩Travel Routes 🏖️Must-Visit Attractions 🚇Transportation: Self-drive 📷Photo Spots: Kaike Onsen Beach Park 🍜Local Delicacies: Hand-rolled sushi, authentic BBQ restaurants 🏠Accommodation Recommendations: 1. ANA Crowne Plaza Yonago 2. Yugetsu Onsen Hotel 💡Tips:

I chose the Tottori Prefecture area because I heard there was a desert, and I think it was a choice I have no regrets about. It was wonderful and beautiful.

Yokohama Plaza Kaike Hotel is located near the Kaike Coast, with a superior location. All hotel rooms have full sea views, so as soon as you enter the room, you can see the sea view where the water and sky merge into one, which is refreshing! The room is relatively small compared to other Kaike Onsen hotels. It only has a large bed and a coffee table. Even the wardrobe has to be stored in the corridor. However, compared to many hotels in Japan, the room is already quite large. It is definitely not a problem to open two large luggages. All guests can go to the hotel's large bath to soak in the hot springs, and breakfast is included, which is very rich! 😇😇 #MarchGoodPlaces2025
