Kyukamura Oku-Daisen

The meals were delicious. All the staff were kind, which made us feel at ease. We’d love to stay again.

I visited at the end of March, and there was still a lot of snow all around. The roads were clear because the snow had melted, so it wasn’t a problem, but if it’s piled up, you can park your car at the foot of the mountain and use their Shuttle Service.The building is old, but the senior staff are kind and helpful, which makes you feel relaxed and reassured. The housekeeping staff also welcomed us with warm smiles. The mountain views from the window were breathtaking!Meals can be enjoyed while taking in the magnificent scenery. With a main dish (sashimi, tempura, hot pot) plus a mini buffet, everything was more than satisfactory—but both dinner and breakfast had almost no meat dishes; about the only meat was some chicken in chikuzen-ni. If we paid extra, we might have been able to enjoy some delicious meat… The senior staff kindly offered to take photos at each table, which really warmed my heart. Because they use groundwater, even the water tastes great. Chikuzen-ni, crab rice, udon, and ramen were lightly seasoned but full of rich dashi flavor—our kids went back for seconds.The bath is not an Onsen. It’s also a shame there are no windows. The basket bags provided in our Room (one per person in different sizes) were very useful for carrying things to the bath.The shop is small with a limited selection… I think it would be more fun if they offered more varieties of boxed sweets as souvenirs. If you lay out your own futons in your Room, you receive discount vouchers worth 100 yen per person that can be used at the shop.We usually stay at Kyushu Kyukamura facilities and this was our first time visiting Tottori—but we were very satisfied overall.
