Know before you book
- Kaike Onsen is a seaside hot-spring town on the edge of Yonago in western Tottori. Every inn here lists about 15 minutes by bus or taxi from JR Yonago station and about 20 minutes by taxi from Yonago airport.
- In-room dinner is not automatic. Every one of the six inns that meet the theme also lists another venue on Rakuten: a restaurant, a dining hall, a banquet hall or a private room. Only Kaike Kikunoya says it has plans that guarantee dinner in your room or a private room. Read the plan name or ask when you book.
- Pick-ups work differently at each inn. Kaike Yuzuki and Kaike Shogetsu do not run to Yonago station, because a bus route serves it, but will collect you from the Kaike Onsen tourist centre until 18:00. Kasuitei runs free between the tourist centre and the inn at any time, and Kaike Fuga has a free pick-up booked ahead by phone.
- Ryokan dinners start at set times, so arrival time matters. Last check-in is 18:00 at Kaike Fuga, 18:30 at Kaike Yuzuki and Kaike Shogetsu, 21:00 at Kasuitei and 22:00 at Kaike Kikunoya. Phone ahead if you will be late.
- If you drive in winter, Kaike Yuzuki and Kaike Shogetsu ask for winter tyres or chains from about December to March, even without snow, because of icy roads.
- Prices are per person with dinner and breakfast, for two sharing. Each inn lists a bathing tax of ¥150 per adult, paid at the inn on top.

Questions visitors ask
If I book one of these, will dinner definitely be served in my room?
Not on every plan. Rakuten lists Kaike Yuzuki and Kaike Shogetsu with your room or the restaurant, Kasuitei with your room or a dining hall, and Kaike Kikunoya and Kaike Fuga with your room or a banquet hall. Kaike Kikunoya says it has plans that guarantee dinner in your room or a private room. Otherwise the plan decides, so look for in-room dinner (部屋食, heya-shoku) in the plan name or ask when you book.
Can I have breakfast in my room as well?
At two of the five: Kasuitei (room or dining hall) and Kaike Kikunoya (room or restaurant). Kaike Yuzuki serves a restaurant buffet, Kaike Shogetsu uses its restaurant or a dining hall, and Kaike Fuga its banquet hall.
How do I get there from Yonago station or the airport?
Each inn lists about 15 minutes by taxi or bus from JR Yonago station and about 20 minutes by taxi from Yonago airport. Kaike Yuzuki and Kaike Shogetsu do not collect from Yonago station but will pick you up at the Kaike Onsen tourist centre until 18:00. Kasuitei runs free transfers from the tourist centre at any time, and Kaike Fuga has a free pick-up booked ahead.
Do any of them have English-speaking staff?
Rakuten lists several staff at Kaike Kikunoya who can handle everyday conversation in English, and staff with a little English at Kaike Yuzuki and Kaike Fuga. Kaike Shogetsu and Kasuitei do not publish their language support, so write when you book.
Which one would you book?
Kaike Yuzuki, top at 81/100. Every room has its own hot-spring open-air bath and an ocean view, and it averages 4.73 across 1,684 reviews, from about ¥37,000 per person on a weeknight. For a lower rate and a guaranteed in-room dinner, Kaike Kikunoya starts from about ¥15,000 per person on a weeknight.
When were these prices checked?
We searched Rakuten Travel availability for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 11 November 2026 and 2 January 2027, taking the cheapest room with dinner and breakfast for two adults and showing it per person (checked 4 November 2026). The bathing tax is paid at the inn. Prices move daily; the link on each inn shows today’s.
