Seaside Uradome

I finally got to watch the Bouldering Youth Championships in Kurayoshi, a place I'd always wanted to visit. I also included the Sand Museum in my itinerary, so I was looking for accommodation in or near Tottori City. I chose this place because the food looked delicious. It felt more like an older traditional Japanese inn than a modern hotel. A slightly older woman, who seemed like the proprietress, explained and handled everything regarding the inn. When I mentioned I'd be arriving a little late, they adjusted the start of dinner. The meal was very luxurious and satisfying, with hot pot, sashimi, tempura, and more. Breakfast was also a nostalgic Japanese meal with grilled fish, grilled vegetables, and seaweed. It was wonderful to enjoy breakfast while looking out at the sea through the large glass window. The room was a spacious Japanese-style room, which reminded me of the pillow fights I had on school trips. Hot water was provided in the kettle. I fell asleep listening to the sound of the waves. Originally, the room didn't have a private bath or toilet, but I thought it would be okay since there was a large public bath. However, I was told that part of the public bath was broken and only the shower was usable. "If you want to take a bath, please use the bath in room 302. Another group of guests on the 3rd floor might also use the bath in room 302, but it will be fine if you lock the door (you won't overlap)." I was confused. I didn't like the idea of ​​having to be considerate of other guests in a place like a bath. It would have been better if they had set a time limit of about an hour. I suppose they prepared it as an apology for not being able to use the public bath. If you don't mind this kind of thing, or if you can use the public bath, I think it's a good value inn!

Out of a total of 4 nights and 5 days, I stayed at Seaside Uradome-san in Iwami-cho for 2 nights and 3 days to go on a pilgrimage to the anime *Free!*. The innkeeper (Okami-san) was incredibly kind, and it felt like visiting a grandmother in the Japanese countryside. She was so warm and friendly; I really felt like I was visiting a country house, which was a healing experience. It was my first time sleeping in a tatami room, and I slept very well. What I liked most was the bath; after every pilgrimage, I could soak in the hot tub to relieve fatigue and feel completely relaxed. The room was very clean, and you can see the ocean from the room. Of course, it is right in front of you when you step out, so it looks very pretty. There are even yukatas! They are very pretty haha. Most importantly, if you are a fan of *Free!*, the pilgrimage sites are very, very close. Makoto and Haruka's beach route to and from school, Makoto and Haruka's house, and best of all, the merchandise shop called *Santek* is just a 7-minute walk away! Unless it is raining, definitely rent a bike from the Tourist Center to get around (especially if you don't have a license). I highly recommend it. It was very good as of April. I booked a room with breakfast and dinner included, and the meals were very satisfying. The menu changed every time, too. The room was also very clean and tidy. If I go on another Free pilgrimage in the future, I would definitely want to stay here again.

We used this hotel for a family trip. The room was spacious, and the breakfast was delicious. They even provided breakfast for a marathon event. It's close to the sea.

The environment is first-class, right on the beach. You can see the sea from the window and you can see the sea from the bed. When you leave the store, you can see the sea. It's a very good beach. The owner is a very soft-spoken grandmother who speaks very softly (you have to pay close attention to hear it clearly) and is very kind. There is no toilet or bathroom in the room, which is very inconvenient. I brought my mother who is over 70 years old. The elderly have to leave the room to use the toilet at night, which is very inconvenient. However, although it is a public toilet, it is very clean. There is a washbasin in the room, but there is no hot water, which is also very inconvenient. From the perspective of looking at the sea, the location of the hotel is really the best, but in actual experience, it is really inconvenient that the room does not have a toilet and bathroom. In the future, when I book a hotel, I will confirm three things in advance: whether the room is equipped with a toilet and bathroom (it is best to have separate bathroom and toilet), whether the basin has hot water, and whether the WIFI is good. Because I stayed in several hotels during this trip, I felt it was very important to confirm these three items.

A B&B with great scenery, facing the seaside. It has a very Japanese style. I will come back again.

Very nice hotel, I will go there again next time
