Misasa: R179 Ningyo-toge Pass
Misasa is best known within Tottori Prefecture for Misasa Onsen, a hot-spring resort associated with radon-rich waters. The town lies in the wooded uplands of the Chūgoku Mountains, where roads wind between steep, forested slopes and small settlements. The Mitoku River runs through the central valley, linking the spa district with the surrounding countryside. Bathing has shaped Misasa’s identity for centuries, and its traditional inns remain central to local life. Beyond the resort area, the municipality’s mountain roads provide a quieter introduction to inland Tottori and its heavily wooded terrain.

Built around radon-rich hot springs along the Misasa River, Misasa grew into one of Japan’s best-known therapeutic onsen towns. The waters are traditionally associated with restorative stays, and bathing culture shapes the compact centre, where ryokan and public footbaths follow the river corridor. In the mountains above stands Sanbutsu-ji, a Buddhist temple complex on Mount Mitoku; its cliffside Nageiredo hall is designated a National Treasure. Misasa lies in central Tottori Prefecture, between the Sea of Japan coast and the prefecture’s rural interior.

Tokyo pairs dense urban life with major museums and neighbourhood traditions; Kyoto preserves temples, gardens and the legacy of Japan’s imperial court.
