Where to stay in Tottori

Three kinds of nightWhere to stay in Tottori

The choice is really about what kind of night you want. A hot-spring inn feeds you twice and stops you moving. A city hotel is the right answer if you are arriving late or leaving early.

A ryokan or hot-spring inn旅館・温泉宿

Dinner and breakfast brought to you, a bath, and floor bedding laid out while you eat. The price is per person and includes both meals.

Includes 2 meals Book ahead

A city hotelホテル

Clean, small, reliable and priced per room. Right for early trains, late arrivals and anyone travelling with a large suitcase.

BookingSix things worth asking before you pay

Ask about these

Meals: Whether dinner and breakfast are included, and what time dinner is served. Inns often serve at a fixed time and will not wait
Tattoos: Ask whether the bath admits them, and ask about a private bath
Private bath: Kashikiri. Many inns have one, and it removes the question of bathing with strangers entirely
Payment: Card or cash. Rural inns are often cash only
Arrival time: Tell them. Inns lock up earlier than hotels
Luggage: They will hold it before check-in and after check-out. Just ask

What a night at an inn is like

Shoes: Off at the entrance. Slippers inside; nothing on the straw matting
The robe: A cotton yukata is provided and is worn to dinner and to the bath. Left side over right
Dinner: Many small dishes, often in your room or a dining room at a set time
Bedding: Laid out on the floor, usually while you are eating
Bathing: Before dinner and again before bed is normal here
Breakfast: Rice, fish, egg, pickles. Ask the night before if you need it early

How an onsen works

Our first choice hereThe one we would book

Grandome Sayu, Tottori Dunesグランドーム砂優 -sayu — Sa-yu

You sleep in a dome tent with its own open-air bath. There are six of them, west of the dunes, and dinner is cooked outdoors.

Each dome has its own bath and toilet — you are not sharing.
Heated and cooled, so it works outside summer.
Dinner is served outside, with beef from the prefecture.

Where: West of the Tottori dunes — six dome tents, not a hotel building
Address: Hamasaka 1157-115, Tottori 680-0001
Telephone: 0857-51-1139
Booking: Through the official site, or the booking services below

Worth knowing

Six domes only. Book early. This is camping with a bed, not a hotel — expect to walk outside between the tent and the rest of the site.
