Hokkei rocks! The warm omotenashi spirit is everywhere. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, especially the landlady. Old-style welcome and special surprise. Rabbit-themed decor is so cute. Great fresh food, wonderful view and easy access to Sunayu open-air onsen next to river. Hotel’s onsen are wonderful too, overlooking the river and valley. Very comfortable room and bed. Staff is fluent in English. Thanks for such a memorable stay! I will return.

Visited for our 3 year anniversary, if you're looking for a traditional Ryokan experience look no further!
We had a room with a private bath on the balcony, overlooking the free outdoor bath with mixed gender use, which we also experienced and is a must if you visit.
Highly recommended to get the dinner and breakfast as they were the highlight of our stay.

Found this gem from a YouTube channel I watch and we couldn't have been happier! Loved how this place was off the beaten path but all aspects exceeded our expectations. The onsen was amazing and the chef prepared meals were a real treat. The owner was very nice and was excited to see people finding her place from the US, personally welcoming us at dinner.

We stayed at this lovely ryokan at the end of August. It was not one of our planned accommodations but due to the typhoon more south we needed to change location and find a place to stay. What an absolute treasure it was and the staff were exceptional in every way. I arrived quite sick, caused by a virus I picked up in my travels. The staff immediately saw to my every need and expressed genuine concern and care, ensuring that I was comfortable. The owner (I'm sorry I have forgotten her name) she was so helpful as was all the staff, but the jewel was Wasim. The owner (a delightful kind lady) and Wasim gently approached me at breakfast and suggested I go to the nearby hospital to be seen by the doctors there. They rang ahead — Wasim drove me, waited for me and translated what the medical staff were prescribing from Japanese into English for me. Wasim was so respectful, patient and just awesome. I cannot express enough how grateful I was, and am for these lovely warm people. On top of that, our room was so comfortable, overlooked the river and the onsens were warm and ambient. As a vegetarian the cuisine was carefully prepared for me, delicious and I was so so pleased. I am not one to want so much attention and rarely sick (unfortunately hacking scary viral cough picked up in Tokyo) but this was an oasis in a storm for me. I highly recommend this ryokan to anyone wanting to experience the warmth and charm of local but also diverse staff as well as experience a lovely ryokan.

Staying here was a wonderful traditional Japanese experience! The staff were friendly, helpful, and really went out of their way to make you feel special. The room we had felt like a traditional Japanese room, which was exactly what we wanted. The food was authentic and let us try all sorts of new amazing things. Beautiful scenery, stunning little town, great local food. Would recommend the rooftop onsen as well, felt like surreal experience. Thank you all for an amazing stay!

Wonderful room, view, service and water. We spend a real healing time in this ryokan. Thanks all for your special care for the clients.

We spent a couple of weeks traveling around Japan on motorcycles and found this gem of an onsen while riding through the area. We arrived after dark and it was a very chilly November evening. We were immediately greeted by some of the nicest people we met along the way and were quickly ushered in to warm by the fire and served hot tea. Many of the staff spoke fluent English and it was great to see such an international crew. The food was locally sourced and fresh. The chef served us some of the best food we have had in Japan. The onsen was equally amazing plus we had our own private bath on our patio overlooking the river. If you want a traditional Japanese onsen with 5 star staff, food and vibe then look no further. It is definitely worth the trip and we are definitely returning on our next Moto trip through this part of Japan.

This was my second time to come. Traditional Japanese style onsen with friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Madam boss was super nice and kind to introduce our dinner. Fresh ingredients and delicious, can feel the heart of chef! New renovated rooftop onsen was marvelous! Clear sky, shinning moonlight with sparkling stars! Can't miss this!

Hakkei is nestled amongst the mountains in Tottori prefecture in the Yubaraonsen area. Picture perfect and so calming and restful.
The service is excellent; we were greeted by the owner, Okamichan upon our arrival and she’s always around to ensure that our stay is a pleasant one. She is also very helpful with suggestions to visit the Bambino cheese factory, soba shops & the Herbil herb farm. The reception & dining service staff spoke good English and service was excellent.
The dinner was one of the highlights with very fresh and tasty vegetables supplied by the natural farms in the area.
Our friends and I enjoyed our one night stay there tremendously and we wished we had planned an extra day of stay there. It’s definitely a charming and peaceful respite on our road trip from Okayama to Tottori.
