"Pros: Magical place by the sea! I left my heart there. The guesthouse feels like an actual house and has all the necessary stuff (washing machine, kitchen stuff, etc). My room was big and bright and with a sea view. The owner was so kind, even though I unfortunately don't speak Japanese she managed to communicate with me and give me lots of advice and asked about my day. She also picked me up from the station and on my last day she gave me a ride to Tottori station (a blessing, there was a literal storm raging outside), and even made a detour to show me the sand dunes! And gave me some cookies for the trip. The town is extremely quiet and there's one big supermarket that closed at 8pm, but also two Family Mart 24/7 (with a toilet and a cash machine, for the record). Nothing is immediately next to the guesthouse but it's such a lovely place you can walk around anytime feeling safe. I also recommend this place specifically if you are interested in the Free! tour, because you're in front of Uradome beach where you'll find the first 3/4 spots. You're also at walking distance (15mins, there's also a bus or you can rend a bike) from Taijiri Shrine (Haru and Makoto's staircase) and the nearby spots, and you can use the local buses 32/33 to complete the tour. My host gave me the Free! map at check-in (and a postcard!) but you can also get it from shops and tourist offices in the area. Long story shorts, it's a fantastic place and I'd love to be back in summer!" ~Alessandra

"Pros: The property was gorgeous! Very spacious for the three of us. There was a kitchen area that was easy to use, and the bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The lady in charge was so friendly and helpful." ~Lorraine
