Transportation guide part 2: Getting Around in Yurihama

This is part 2 of the CIR blog’s (unofficial) transportation guide. It introduces some options for travelers to get around within the town itself. See part 1 for how to get to Yurihama from nearby airports and cities in Japan.

Activities and businesses in Yurihama are somewhat spread out, although there are many fun things to enjoy around Togo Lake. Consider your itinerary to help you find the best option for your travel plans and budget.

Transportation guide pt. 1: Coming to Yurihama

Yurihama is off the beaten track for most travelers in Japan. However, once you get here, you’ll find that the wide open space, fresh air, and quaint atmosphere offer a quintessential experience of rural Japan. It’s recommended that you plan your visit to Yurihama ahead of time, so that you can make the most of each season’s attractions and events. To help with that, here are some convenient ways to get to Yurihama from other parts of Japan, such as major city stations and airports.

Suimeisō Hotel・水明荘

The Suimeisō Hotel is a government managed lodging facility conveniently located in the Tōgō Onsen area. It offers reasonably priced rooms, traditional Japanese cuisine, and views of Tōgō Lake from its outdoor onsen hot springs and some rooms. When visiting Yurihama, the Suimeisō Hotel is an excellent pick for exploring Togo Lake’s onsen spots, and as a travel stop between attractions in Eastern and Western Tottori.

Make reservations online or by calling: 0858-32-0411 (Japanese)

Access:

1. Via Yonago Airport or Tottori Airport:

The Suimeisō Hotel is a five-minute walk from JR Matsuzaki station. To reach the station from Yonago Airport, ride the JR Sakai Line and transfer to the JR Sanin Main Line until Matsuzaki, a local stop. From Tottori Airport, simply take an airport limousine bus to Matsuzaki station.

2. Via train (Osaka station or Okayama station):

Take the Super Hakuto express train to Kurayoshi station, then ride a local train to Matsuzaki station. Walk five minutes to the Suimeisō Hotel.

3. Via highway bus (Osaka, Hiroshima, or Okayama):

Several highway buses run to Kurayoshi station from major cities in the region. You can then take a local train to Matsuzaki station, then walk to the hotel.

Igisu・いぎす

Photo by the official website of Tottori Prefecture

Have you ever heard of “igisu”? Igisu is a local cuisine eaten mainly in central Tottori. It has the texture of jelly paste and tastes like the ocean. It is quite a unique food, and I’m told it’s unfamiliar and a bit strange to people from outside the prefecture.

Igisu appears at special occasions like New Year’s and Buddhist memorial services. It is also eaten as part of the vegetarian cuisine derived from the diet of Buddhist monks (called shōjin-ryōri).

Igisu is made from “igisu grass”, a type of reddish seaweed that grows near the seashore. To make igisu, simply dry igisu grass in the sun and rehydrate it. Then, stir it in a pot under low heat until it dissolves. Finally, place it into a container until it naturally hardens with a jelly-like appearance. Igisu is eaten with shoyu and sesame seeds.

Visitors to Tottori should try this unique local specialty! Look for it in area supermarkets, train station shops, or anywhere local products are sold.

「いぎす」という言葉を聞いたことはありますか？いぎすは主に鳥取県の中部で食べられている郷土料理です。ようかんのような食感と、海の香りがします。いぎすはお正月や法事などで登場します。また、精進料理としても食べられています。県外の人にとって、この独特な料理がよく知られていなくて少し不思議だと言われています。

いぎすは「いぎす草」という、海岸の石で生える赤い海藻で作られています。いぎすを作る時、まず天日でいぎす草を乾燥させて、水洗いして戻します。次に、鍋で水と一緒にとろ火で混ぜます。溶けたいぎすを容器に入れて、固めるまで冷蔵庫で冷やします。醤油とごまをかけて食べてください。

鳥取県を訪れる方はぜひこの独特な郷土料理を食べてみてください！

More about Minato Shrine・湊神社について

Image from Google Maps, in accordance with its Fair Use Policy

Minato Shrine is located in the Hashizu district of Yurihama.

Hundreds of years ago, Hashizu was once used as a boat harbor. Like many of the other shrines in the area, Minato Shrine was often visited to worship for maritime safety. Since the Tenbun period (1532~1555) to the first year of the Hōei period (1704), various daimyō feudal lords who controlled the region contributed donations to the shrine.

The shrine is still active today, most notably hosting the annual Minato Shrine Festival every fall.
