Even if you don't do that, you'll find yourself lazily watching videos or reading comics, and before you know it, it's evening and you'll feel guilty. If you want to feel fulfilled and still have a good rest both physically and mentally, how about leaving home and going on a trip to onsen? If you have 2 days and 1 night, you can refresh firmly ♩
If you're going on a 1-night, 2-day onsen trip from around Osaka, Tottori is recommended. It may seem a little far away, but if you take the limited express train, it's about 2 and a half hours from Osaka, which is surprisingly close. Tottori is rich in onsen springs, including Misasa onsen, which is rich in medicinal properties, and onsen, which offers a spectacular view. There aren't many people, so you don't have to worry about crowds, and you can relax to your heart's content in the rich natural surroundings.

The building is a three-story wooden building with tatami mat flooring throughout. You can feel the atmosphere unique to Tottori, where the Mingei Movement was flourishing.
