Misasa travel guide and discussion

A National Treasure built on a sheer cliff Mt. Mitoku Sanbutsu-ji Temple Nageiredo · Check the official website for daily updates on whether climbing is permitted. It appears climbing is prohibited on rainy days. The big question is: "Just how dangerous is it?"👇 To give you the bottom line: 👉 It's not a light hike, but a "serious mountain climb" level ✔ Features chain sections (you'll need your hands to climb) ✔ Areas where you must grab rocks and tree roots to advance ✔ Slippery dirt slopes ✔ Difficulty increases the day after it rains "Balance" and "slip-resistant gear" are more important than pure physical stamina. However... It's not overly dangerous if you prepare properly, and many people actually make the climb. 👉 "Dangerous if you're careless," but 👉 "Totally doable with the right prep" level That's the realistic difficulty level. · Gear check is required at the reception · You will be denied entry if deemed unsafe ーーーーーーーーーー [Clothing & Gear Guide] You might get turned away without these⚠️ ✔ Hiking boots or slip-resistant shoes (practically mandatory) ✔ Gloves (essential for chains and rocky areas) ✔ Comfortable clothing for moving around (long pants recommended) ✔ Backpack (to keep both hands free) ✔ Drinks (cannot be purchased along the trail) What NOT to bring👇 ✖ Sandals ✖ Heels ✖ Handheld bags/luggage 👉 There are actual cases where entry is denied, so be sure to check the official website. Reception hours: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Must descend by 4:30 PM) ーーーーーーーーーー 💰Admission Fees · Mountain Entry Fee: 400 yen · Climbing/Worship Fee: 800 yen It costs 1,200 yen in total to see Nageiredo. You cannot enter Nageiredo itself. You can only view it up close. ーーーーーーーーーー ✔ Treat it as a "light mountain climb," not a casual sightseeing trip ✔ Your gear dictates your safety ✔ The view at the end is absolutely one-of-a-kind Nageiredo

Tottori, easily accessible with direct flights from Incheon to Yonago! Misasa Onsen Village is located halfway between Yonago and Tottori City. The large building at the entrance of this village is Misasakan. This is a very clean hot spring resort with a 2-person kaiseki and breakfast included on weekdays for about 200,000 won. You can choose the color of your yukata when you check in. The large public bath that guests can use for free includes an open-air hot spring and is very spacious. There are hot spring baths with different concepts in the men's and women's baths, and you can switch between morning and night. The kaiseki cuisine that included Tottori's specialty wagyu and crab was also really delicious. By the way, you eat kaiseki at the restaurant. All the staff from the reception to the restaurant are friendly. There are two types of paid charter baths: one for 2 people and one for 15 people that can be used by the whole family. The 15-person bath was about 30,000 won. If you want to reserve only one group at a time, it is better to make a reservation at the reception when checking in. If you have the maximum number of people, it is the same price whether you have 2 or 10 people. You can use it for 50 minutes, but since the water is hot, it is difficult to stay longer anyway, so it was just the right amount of time. When you enter the outdoor private bath, there are shower facilities and lockers next to the open-air hot spring, so it is convenient. It is also a good way to liven up the atmosphere to buy a cup of sake at a convenience store in advance and drink it by soaking it in the hot spring water! 🍶 When you enter the wide open-air hot spring that looks like a pond and listen to the sound of the leaves and the wind, you will be so happy 🥹 And the hot spring is clean because the water keeps flowing The atmosphere of Misasa-cho where Misasa-kan is located is also good. There is a public foot bath facility on the bridge across from the ryokan, and the shopping street across the bridge is also pretty. Please note that stores tend to close at 8pm in March. 📍Misasakan, Tottori 📍174 Yamada, Misasa, Tōhaku District, Tottori 682-0122 Japan ✔️If you inquire by email after making a reservation, you can receive a free van pick-up/drop-off at the train station. #Misasa #Hot Spring Travel #Hot Spring Hotel #Tottori #Yonago #March Travel Support Fund Event

\\Tourist Spots// Located in the center of the Japanese Heritage town of Misasa Onsen, Kawara Onsen is a mixed-gender hot spring that is open 24 hours a day. It was a surprising hot spring with such a sense of openness that you could see almost everything. The bath is closed from 7 to 12 on odd-numbered days due to cleaning. It was just at that time that we went, so there was no hot water in the bath. About 20 minutes by car from JR Kurayoshi Station Information as of July 2022. #Breathtaking view #Photogenic spot #Tottori #Misasa Onsen #Western Japan #Hot spring

【Adachi Museum of Art】 The expansive gardens are definitely worth seeing at least once. I didn't realize the main garden could only be viewed through glass, which was a bit of a letdown. ⚫︎ Took the JR line to Kurayoshi via Yonago. Since I had some time before checking in, I decided to stop by the Shirakabe Storehouses, located about a 10-minute bus ride from Kurayoshi. 【Shirakabe Storehouses】 The historic townscape has been beautifully preserved, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. You can easily explore the whole area in about an hour. Since the 53rd Yokozuna, Kotozakura, was a Kurayoshi native, there's a memorial museum dedicated to him. Surprisingly, admission is free, and it was a great spot to take a quick rest. The atmosphere was so incredibly relaxing that I let my guard down, making the embarrassing mistake of leaving my bags behind and having to go back for them 💦 【Misasa Onsen】 I’ve been dying to try a mini hot spring retreat in a radon spring, so I finally booked a multi-night stay in Misasa! I stayed at a standard hotel on the first night, and opted for a traditional ryokan on the second. The water at Misasa Onsen runs hot, but surprisingly, as you get used to it, the heat becomes incredibly soothing. It’s nearly odorless with a slightly brownish tint. After getting out, the warmth lingers & you'll find yourself working up a gentle sweat. There are about three footbaths scattered around the hot spring town, allowing you to fully enjoy the onsen experience. A word of warning, though: I was there on a Wednesday, which happens to be the regular closing day for most local businesses, so be mindful of the day of the week you visit! There are also hardly any places to buy groceries in the town itself, so I highly recommend buying food in advance or booking a stay that includes meals!

🌿 A nature getaway to Misasa Onsen, Tottori ♨️ Just an hour from Tottori Station by car, this place has such a traditional and relaxing vibe.🇯🇵 It’s famous for its hot springs, and many hotels offer amazing onsen experiences along with yukata (traditional Japanese clothing).👘 In spring, the cherry blossoms are at their peak—absolutely stunning in the daytime and beautifully illuminated at night. 🌸 A perfect place to recharge your batteries 🪫✨ #japan #travel2026 #travel #onsen #hotsprings #nature #wellness

When many people think of Sanchao-cho in Tottori Prefecture, the first thing they think of is "Michao Onsen" - a town full of ancient rhyme! Every evening, the streets under the lights are quiet and neat, even the air is a little nostalgic, whether it is the snow scenery or the hazy rainy night strolling, the whole town has its own poetry. This trip was particularly happy because I discovered that there is a must-visit "Spring Entertainment" in the hot springs left three mornings. It is full of fun and will really make people regain the happiness of childhood! Must-see recommendation | Sanchao Hot Spring & Tongji Spring Entertainment Center If you drive from Akitori, you will pass a very high mountain. So right I went in winter, it was sunny below, no snow, but up the mountain will even be a snow mountain, see a lot of snow, so immediately stopped to take a picture. Michao Hot Spring The most famous thing in Misocho is, of course, Miso Onsen! As one of the three largest hot springs in Japan, it is not only known for its healing spring quality, but the entire town is developed around the hot springs, with the Chinese architecture under the neon lights on both sides of the street and the local human touch. Winter time, occasional snow, slow walk which is super healing. Whether you are soaking in the hot spring alone and enjoying the tranquility. Address: Misasa, Tōhaku District, Totori 682-0123 Japan Opening Hours: Open all day year-round Springs Entertainment If you thought that the hot spring town only had hot spring bathing, you are actually totally wrong! There is a very special "Spring Entertainment" in the hot spring street, which is full of retro flavor. There are classic toys such as shooting guns and nostalgic booth games. You will completely relive the fun of the old temple! The most hilarious thing is that the boss is almost free-spirited management, reading the newspaper ignores you, you independently explore and play non-stop - suitable for slowing down and regaining childlike innocence. The price is affordable, you won't feel stressed after playing for an hour Practical tips · Recommended at night time to the hot spring street to enjoy the street view under the street lights, absolutely romantic and quiet. · In case of snow, it is recommended to prepare an extra pair of non-slip shoes, the road is non-slip, walking comfortable and safe. · In winter, the temperature is low. After playing at the Spring Entertainment Center, you can immediately go back to the hotel to soak in the soup to warm up. · Just after booking the hot spring, you can reserve half an hour to "discover childishness" in the entertainment venue. Transportation guide Miso Onsen is from Tottori or Yonago Take the JR to Kurakichi Station, the station has a bus directly to Misato-cho. It takes about 25 minutes from Kurayoshi Station and the ticket costs about 400 yen, which is convenient and fast. Food recommendations There are many Japanese dim sum and snack bars on the hot spring street. It is recommended to try the hot spring eggs, authentic tofu hot pot, and the famous local black hair wagyu hot pot. Drinking a cup of hot matcha in the alley where cats and dogs hang out is also very romantic. #Michao Onsen #Japan Travel #Hot Spring Town #RetroChildhood #Tottori Prefecture Photography

Located in Misasa, Tottori Prefecture, Nageiredo Hall of Sanbutsuji Temple on Mt. Mitoku is a legendary temple known as the most dangerous national treasure in Japan. Built as if "thrown" into a cavern on a sheer cliff, the hall is said to have been thrown there by the Shugendo monk En no Ozunu using his spiritual powers during the Heian period, and mystical legend remains. The pilgrimage path is steep, so hiking equipment (hiking boots) is required. Also, due to reports of people slipping and falling, it is essential to enter in groups. Clambering up the rock face and holding onto chains is a true training experience! The Nageiredo Hall that you see at the end is breathtakingly impressive and divine. The sight of nature and faith uniting as one seems to sharpen the mind. Itinerary Day 1: Visit Sanbutsuji Temple → Climb Nageiredo Hall → Relax in Misasa Onsen ♨️ 🍴 Nearby Food Spots ・Sanbutsuji Temple Monzenchaya: Famous "Shojin Soba" ・Misasa Onsen Town Footbath Cafe: Relax with a post-bath treat 📌 Useful Information Address: 1010 Mitoku, Misasa-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture 682-0132 Access: Approximately 35 minutes by bus from JR Kurayoshi Station, get off at "Mitokusan Sanbutsuji" bus stop Visiting Hours: 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM (Climbing registration closes at 2:00 PM) Admission Fee: ¥1,200 for climbing and worship (includes mountain entry fee) Equipment: Non-slip shoes and gloves required; skirts prohibited Parking: Available (Free) Beyond the potentially life-threatening thrill, breathtaking silence and breathtaking views await.

Itinerary: Conan Village - Misasa Onsen Getting There: I recommend renting a car. It's about a 30-minute drive from Conan Village to Misasa. Attractions: Tottori has a Detective Conan Village. There's a museum there for 700 yen per person, a must-see for fans. Hotel: Seiryuso Hotel in Misasa Onsen Village. The kaiseki and breakfast are delicious. There are indoor and outdoor baths, separated by gender. Private rooms are 2,200 yen for 45 minutes. Special Features: Fireworks are held from 8:20 to 8:25 PM on summer nights. There are very few Koreans, and most are Japanese.

The must-try food when you come to Tottori is Tottori Wagyu Yakiniku. Tottori can be said to be the birthplace of Wagyu. Friends who like Wagyu must try it! 👉This yakiniku restaurant is recommended by many Japanese people. The best thing is that you can eat Olein 55's 5 kinds of Wagyu (2 people) for only 2200 yen (about NT$435). Olein 55 refers to the Tottori Wagyu brand, which means that the oleic acid content in the beef reaches more than 55%. The melt-in-the-mouth and oily taste is really dreamy, and it is noble and not expensive. It is very cost-effective to eat. The total cost of the meal for the two of us that day was only more than 1,100 Taiwan dollars. It was full and worth it! Store name #焼肉まさしげ坎吉店 Region Tottori Business hours 11:30 - 21:30

Misasa Onsen really needs 1-2 nights to stay there, to experience the rain and sunshine here, which is absolutely beautiful. Getting up early in the morning to greet the morning light, walking towards the mountains and forests, watching the birds and the river, it is very touching. You can choose to stay in the hotel for a night and eat two meals, or you can eat and drink in the restaurants in the town, meet different people and things, and make you happy. Highly recommended to everyone.

Let's challenge a different Japanese temple today - Sanbutsuji Temple located in Mitokuyama, Tottori Prefecture! ⛩️ This temple is famous for its "Nuyudo" built on a steep cliff. The scenery is beautiful, but it's not so easy to witness its magnificence with your own eyes! 🙅♀️ 👟 Important reminder! Want to climb a mountain? Put on your hiking shoes first! The worship route of Sanbutsuji Temple is basically a mini hiking trail! Along the way are moss-covered rocks and steep mountain roads, and some places require hands and feet to climb! 🪨 If you don't wear hiking shoes with good grip, the temple will prohibit you from entering the mountain! 🚫 For safety reasons, and to be able to climb up to Nuyudo smoothly, please be sure to wear your professional hiking shoes! 🥾 🚶♀️ A worship route with challenges and beautiful scenery Although the climbing process is a bit hard, the natural scenery and ancient temple buildings along the way will definitely make you feel that the trip is worthwhile!

Then put on your hiking shoes and challenge Santokusan Sanbutsuji! It will definitely be an unforgettable memory for you! 💖 #新年好去处2025#foodphotography

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Misasa Onsen's specialty "Kawaraburo" is a free open-air bath on the banks of the Misasa River♨️ When I actually visited, the luxurious time of soaking in the hot water while listening to the sound of the river was soothing to both my mind and body. It's an extraordinary experience with a sense of openness, where you can bathe in natural light during the day and under the stars at night✨ You can also interact with local people, which will deepen your travel memories. It's about a 20-minute bus ride from JR Kurayoshi Station. It's in the center of Misasa Onsen town, so you can easily drop in on foot🚶♂️ The key to success is to "bring your own towel and swimsuit!" Since it's a mixed-bathing style, we recommend wearing a swimsuit if you're interested💡 There are fewer people in the morning and evening, so it's a hidden gem of a time when you can enjoy it quietly. A hot spring date in nature for couples, a time to quietly soak in the hot water alone, and the ultimate healing trip that can be enjoyed completely free of charge. Why not spend some time relaxing in the Kawaraburo at Misasa Onsen? 🌿 #Riverbed bath #Misasa Onsen #Overseas travel #Couple travel #Solo travel #Absolutely free travel #Open-air bath #Nature and hot springs

Mitokusan Sanbutsuji Nageiredo in Tottori Prefecture is a temple built on a steep cliff, designated as a National Treasure, and often referred to as "Japan's most dangerous National Treasure."✨ When you visit, the sight of Nageiredo emerging after climbing the rugged mountain path is truly breathtaking! This miraculous architectural fusion of nature and human craftsmanship is awe-inspiring. The hiking trail is quite challenging, offering an experience akin to spiritual training. The sense of accomplishment and the feeling of purification are truly rewarding.🙏 Access is about 40 minutes by bus from JR Kurayoshi Station, followed by a walk. If driving, it takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the Mitokusan parking lot.🚗 Key tips for conquering this adventure: "Prepare proper hiking gear!" Sneakers are not allowed; hiking boots are mandatory, and there’s even a shoe check at the reception.💡 For those concerned about physical stamina, you can still enjoy the temple grounds at the base of the mountain. Don’t forget to make reservations and check the weather in advance! Whether it’s an adventurous trip for couples, a solo spiritual journey, or an experience worth every penny despite not being free, this is a trip that will leave a lasting impression. Embark on a journey to Mitokusan, where mystique and stunning views await, and create memories that will stay with you for a lifetime!🌄

This was the worst experience of the one night, two meals package. Maybe the hotel was too old and the Japanese people had to be polite and friendly (whether real or not), but this was an unforgettable memory. The dinner was totally unsatisfactory, not to mention the good ingredients, it didn't even make you feel full. Usually, Kaiseki cuisine, when in season, will satisfy you to the extreme and be unforgettable. Breakfast was acceptable. ✨Hotel features are too old ♨️The supporting facilities are too old 🛁The room is too old 🍽️Breakfast 🛎️Hotel services 💗The stay experience will not stay again

I stayed at the Misasakan in Misasa-cho, Tottori Prefecture for two nights. I chose a room with an open-air bath. The room was clean and convenient. Amenities were plentiful. The lobby has a lovely retro atmosphere. Free shuttle service is available from the nearest JR Kurayoshi Station. For dinner, we had a semi-private room, and on the first day we had Wagyu beef shabu-shabu, and on the second day we had a luxurious hotpot of abalone and spiny lobster. Both days also came with fresh sashimi. Breakfast was buffet style. All the meals were delicious! The service was polite and great, with greetings and consideration wherever you were! Drinking hot springs are also available on site. A comfortable ryokan. I'd like to come again.

#AustraliaFlightEvent Misasa Onsen Village Ryokan Recommendation ❤️Mansuirou (朝温泉旅館朝薬師の湯万発) 682-0122鳥取東伯郡三朝町山田5 5 Yamada, Misasa, TOhaku District, Tottori 📞+81858-43-0571 This is the ryokan that appeared in Detective Conan. I arrived a little early but Mr. Song Young also arrived early so I was able to move quickly. If you follow the guides(?) they will show you where to sit and provide you with a welcome drink in matcha Check-in is quick but the staff doesn't speak English well They communicate with rare words but they check in slowly in a mixture of English and Japanese so that you can understand as much as possible The key is a classic key but I don't really have anything to use It was the cheapest room among the double rooms but the room was quite big. It was daytime so the blankets weren't spread out and there was a large table and a tea room where you could drink tea. #HotelRecommendation

Breakfast is a traditional Japanese meal with tofu and fish. It's served in a set menu, and the neat presentation makes it feel like a special meal while traveling. The tofu was delicious, and the side dishes were generally good. Personally, I was more satisfied with breakfast than dinner. Dinner includes sushi with seafood, cooked fish, and local beef. The courses are served in a way that allows you to enjoy them leisurely. I also tried the local whiskey here, which was good enough that I bought a bottle before leaving. Overall, the quality of the meals is high. This is a recommended accommodation in Misasa Onsen Village.

It was a little hard to find the way to the hot spring, so please find it well. There weren't many people when I went, but I didn't take any pictures because it was a bathhouse. For reference, the public bathhouse changes men/women once a day, so please check before going!! #OverseasTravel

Breakfast is served in a private dining room, so you can enjoy it at your leisure without worrying about being seen by others, so it is also recommended for those with children 🪽 When I was walking outside, I found a mixed-gender bath on the riverbank ♨️ I wondered if anyone would go in because it was completely visible, but it seems to be very popular with locals!

How can you come to Japan and not take a hot spring bath? This time I stayed in 3 hot spring hotels in the San'in area. All of them offer one night and two meals, and each has its own characteristics, especially the food! All the ingredients are fresh from the local area, and seafood such as fish, crabs, abalone, etc. are all caught that morning and directly supplied. I specially compiled it to share with you. They are: ♨️Shimane Prefecture Yunokawa Onsen: Yuya-an (Pictures 1-6) The hotel is located in an old house, and the Japanese-style room I stayed in has a garden view. There are 5 private baths to choose from, 3 of which are open-air baths where you can enjoy a bath while looking at the garden. 🍽Dinner was a Kaiseki banquet. Fresh black throat fish and Shimane wagyu beef were the specialties of Soan. I also recommend their award-winning wines. 🥣Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, which was also healthy and delicious. Soan has its own garden, which is quite picturesque. Unfortunately, it rained when I stayed there. The Sanin region is rainy, so the moss in the garden grew particularly well. Address: 1491 Gakuto, Hikawa-cho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture ♨️Misasa Onsen, Tottori Prefecture: Misasa-kan (Figure 7-11) Misasa Onsen has a long history of more than 850 years and is the world's leading radioactive hot spring with the highest radon content. I followed Conan to check in at Misasa Onsen Misasakan. The hotel is super big and there are several hot springs. Private hot springs require reservations, but public hot springs can be soaked at any time. I highly recommend the outdoor hot springs and the rose bath, which is like taking a bath in the garden, so beautiful. The room has Japanese tatami and you can enjoy the garden from the room. In addition, the Misasa Onsen Village itself is very beautiful, with cherry trees planted along the river. I can't imagine how beautiful the cherry blossom season is. 🍽The dinner banquet has crabs caught that day and beef sukiyaki, which is extremely rich. 🥣Breakfast is a buffet. Address: 174 Yamada, Misasa-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture. The nearest JR station to Misasa Onsen is Kurayoshi Station. There is a direct bus from Kurayoshi to Misasa. ♨️Tottori Prefecture Kaike Onsen: Kasuitei (Pictures 12-15) By the sea! A real sea view room. If you have time, you can go for a walk on the beach. I stayed in a Japanese-style room with a bed. The room was very spacious and very suitable for people who are not used to sleeping on tatami. When I opened the curtains, I could see the sea view. In the morning, there were seagulls flying by the window. The hot springs are divided into indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor open-air hot springs also offer a panoramic sea view. I took a bath once in the morning and once in the evening, enjoying the relaxing time while watching the seaside. Moreover, they have their own springs, all of which are running water. 🍽The dinner was quite luxurious, with fresh abalone cooked on site, special Yonago wagyu beef, and clam soup. I ate until I leaned against the wall. Address: Kaike Onsen 4-19-10, Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture
