Daisen, which is known for its magnificent natural beauty, and the Sakaiminato area, where you can meet Gegege no Kitaro. There are also many famous onsen springs, and the area is recommended for any style of trip, whether it's for couples, girls' trips, solo trips, or family trips.
Tottori has no shortage of fun to eat, such as seafood from the Sea of Japan, local cuisine, and dairy products familiar to the locals. That's why we've picked up hotels and/or ryokan hotels with a delicious breakfast within Tottori. In addition to fresh seafood, local menus such as "Tofuchikuwa" and "Chinchikuwa" are also available.

The hotel is proud of its freshly baked croissants, made with wheat from France and carefully selected butter. Another attraction is the hotel's commitment to providing freshly made dishes, such as "freshly knotted rice balls," rolled omelets in dashi broth, and grilled fish made in the live kitchen.
A menu that ladies will love is the chef's special smoothie. It is an original blend, handmade smoothie, made with a generous amount of seasonal vegetables. We also recommend the extremely fresh "Daisen White Rose Milk," which is milked and made in Tottori. Also noteworthy are desserts such as "Bell Rose Lover," a rose jelly containing edible petals!
Misasakan has three hot springs on its premises and boasts the largest amount of hot water in Misasa. It is said that "three mornings will give you energy," so you can enjoy the hot springs to your heart's content. Of the 12 baths, including indoor and outdoor baths, we recommend Barahinoyu. This is a service exclusively for women, where about 200 roses are floated every day between 3pm and 10pm. Feel elegant as you are enveloped in the scent of roses.
