Daisen/Yonago - Kaike Hotspring
A wonderful combination of hot spring and beach resort, Kaike Onsen is located in Tottori's Yonago city, next to Shimane and within view of Mt. Daisen. The white beach has been voted one of Japan's hundred best, and the hot springs were discovered in 1890 when a local fisherman found hot water gushing from the sea floor.
With accommodation available for as many as 5,000 visitors at a time in its many hotels and inns, Kaike is the Sanin region's largest onsen. The calcium and salt content are considered especially beneficial for skin, and the town is also well known as home to Japan's oldest triathlon, begun in 1981. From beaches and hot springs by day to neon-lit nightlife after dark, Kaike Onsen is a great place to spend a relaxing few days.
