- "A hot spring inn located in Iwai, Iwami-cho, Iwami-gun. The three-story Japanese-style wooden building is a relaxing space that retains the atmosphere of a therapeutic bathhouse, and features a deep bathtub that can fill one's chest even when standing upright. The other two bathhouses include the pavilion-style ""Backdoor Hot Spring"" surrounded by bamboo fences and the ""Celebration Hot Spring"" with its serene atmosphere."

- Tottori Iwami-gun Iwamicho Iwai 521
- This 1,300 year old hot spring district is the oldest in the Sanin region and has been designated a National Hot Spring Health Resorts, a mark of its excellence. Situated along the Gamou River known as clean stream, the district has a quiet and simple atmosphere. An unusual bathing custom is found in the area; called yukamuri, local bathers will place a tenugui hand towel on the top of their head and pour water over it with a ladle. The waters of the area's sulfate springs are said to treat nerve pain, rheumatism, and women's diseases, and, when drunk, gastrointestinal disorders and hemorrhoids. There are also an abundance of sightseeing destinations in the area, including the Old Iwai Elementary School, the oldest extant Western-style building in Tottori Prefecture; Miyu-jinja Shrine, believed to have been constructed in the early Heian period; and the Yukamuri Gallery, an art museum dedicated to the early Showa woman artist Midori Osaki.
