Best Iwami Hotels

"I went and found myself being the only one at the facilities. It’s a very nice location by the sea. The bath area is a little small especially if there are other guests but the view is emasculate as you can see the ocean very easily. At night the gentle sounds of the waves could be heard in the distance. Some rooms seem to not have an air conditioner but the room I was in was equipped with one. The rooms are spacious with even the small room easily able to accompany 2-3 people."

"As a long-time ”free” fan, Tottori Iwami Town is a must-visit. I chose this ”Kamaya Kamen” from the Iwami Town Tourism Agency website. It is near Uradomi Coast, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to Uradomi Coast. Take bus No. 33 in front of Tottori Station and get off at ”Uradome Kaiganguchi”, which is opposite. The whole journey takes about an hour. The hotel is a typical old Japanese building; it has a sense of age, and all hotels have free Wi-Fi; the washbasin and toilet are outside the room; the bathroom is on the first floor and is public (but only used by one person at a time). I booked a hotel room and two meals, and Uradome's seafood will be served for dinner according to the season. The hotel is mainly managed by two grandmothers who are nearly 80 years old. The day of check-in coincided with Japan's third consecutive holiday, so most of the guests were Japanese. The hotel website states that it only accepts foreign tourists who can speak Japanese and English. The old lady will try her best to introduce the room facilities, meal times, etc. in unskilled English. On the day I checked out, the old lady asked me if I was a ”free” fan? I said yes, and she also gave me two free postcards. There is also a millet shop next to the station opposite the hotel. I was a little nervous about choosing this hotel at first, as there were no reviews on Ctrip. Because I would arrive early, I specifically asked Ctrip if I could help contact the hotel, and Ctrip was very responsible in contacting me. When we finally arrived at the hotel, the old lady helped arrange our luggage. I went to take the Uradome Cruise, and when I came back, my luggage was already in the room. The hotel facilities are not too high-end, but it feels like staying at home. If you want to experience this feeling, just choose ”Kamaya”."

"The rooms are clean, the location is convenient and easy to find, and there's parking behind the ryokan. The staff are excellent and friendly (though their English isn't fluent). The food is delicious and good value for money. The hot spring bath isn't very big, but the facilities are good. Recommended for those looking for a ryokan in Tootori."

"1階には、大きな対面式キッチンと大きなテーブル、壁着のもにたがあり、YouTubeなども見られます。 2階に大きな浴槽と、小さめのリビング、ダブルベッドがあり、渡り廊下を渡ると和室があります。 海側のどの部屋からも富浦海岸の雄大な景色が見られます。 1階のテラス部分でBBQをする予定でしたが、とても風が強くて寒かったので諦めました。天気がよければ海のすぐ側でBBQを楽しめます。 テラスから少し階段を下りると門扉があり、そこからすぐに砂浜に出られます。 夏であれば、テラスから子供が遊ぶ姿を見られますが、この海はなかなか荒々しく、離岸流のある箇所もある様なので、側で一緒に遊ぶほうが良いです。"
