Tottori Prefecture stretches along Japan's San'in coast on the Sea of Japan, home to the Tottori Sand Dunes, the country's largest coastal dune system, and the yokai-themed Mizuki Shigeru Road in the port town of Sakaiminato. Japan's least populous prefecture, Tottori pairs a dramatic, uncrowded coastline with Mount Daisen's hiking trails, the white-walled storehouse district of Kurayoshi, and radium-rich hot springs at Misasa and Kaike Onsen.

Book Misasa and Kaike Onsen ryokan several weeks ahead for weekends during the November–March Matsuba crab season, when kaiseki dinners built around crab drive up demand

Book Misasa or Hawai Onsen ryokan via Jalan.net for Japanese-domestic rates often 20–30% below Western booking sites
Confirm whether the quoted ryokan rate includes the 10% consumption tax and the ¥150–300 ($1.00–2.00) per-person accommodation tax, which some properties add at checkout
