Coastal Japan: San-in Explorer

Accommodations on this tour are a thoughtfully selected blend of Japanese and Western-style hotels. In the cities—Tottori, Sakaiminato, Matsue, and Izumo—you’ll enjoy familiar comforts such as Western-style beds, spacious rooms, and a wider range of breakfast choices.

In the countryside—Misasa Onsen, Kaike Onsen, and the Oki Islands—you’ll stay in traditional *ryokans* that showcase Japan’s minimalist charm, with tatami mats, shoji screens, and futon bedding. Rooms and ensuite bathrooms are typically smaller than Western standards, and breakfasts are often Japanese-style, featuring dishes like grilled fish, rice, and miso soup. English may not be widely spoken, but what’s guaranteed is a high level of cleanliness, warm hospitality, and an authentic cultural experience—often enhanced by special touches such as relaxing *onsen* baths or beautiful scenic views.
