Welcome to the hidden heart of Tottori\u2014a place often overlooked, yet unforgettable. A place in between the pines in the Kansai region.<\/p>\n<p>Known for its 400-year-old hot spring culture, Misasa Onsen is said to hold some of the most radium-rich waters in the world. Locals call it miracle water &#8211; a gift from the earth, where healing feels less like science and more like a ritual. We visited Sanbutsu-ji, a temple carved into the cliffs of Mount Mitoku, holding centuries of devotion. Took a pottery class with a local sensei.<\/p>\n<p>#Japan #Japantravelvlog #japancountryside <\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf10 please turn on subtitles\/subt\u00edtulos\/\u5b57\u5e55\/\uc790\ub9c9\/sous-titres\/\u526f\u6807\u9898\/Untertitel\/\u0e0b\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e44\u0e15\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e49\u0e25\/\u062a\u064e\u0631\u0652\u062c\u064e\u0645\u0629 under &#8216;cc&#8217; for all languages \ud83c\udf10<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for our newsletter for short insider tips: https:\/\/shortbe.com\/zI8N<br \/>\n\u2665\ufe0f Patreon https:\/\/bit.ly\/4bIrUty<br \/>\n\u2615 If you want to buy us some coffee &#8211; buymeacoffee.com\/Traverart<\/p>\n<p>Japanese playlist by  @tinysmriti<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Nihon\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/4VpopILT45umOJmbOaUAqk?si=6f96417a65e34c3e&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Connect with us \ud83e\udd0d<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/traverart_\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/smritisubedi\/<\/p>\n<p>previous Japan films\ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5!<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A town with an ocean view \u2218quiet neighborhood\ud83c\udf38 Cherry Blossom \u2218 Japanese food \ud83c\udf31 Rural Japan| Tottori\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OhJKV4bbRbI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For booking details:<br \/>\nFor Nakaya Ryokan, Misasa, Tottori<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/area-misasa.staynavi.direct\/stay\/area\/tottori_kurayoshi_misasa\/detail\/267800https:\/\/misasaonsen.jp\/stay\/136\/<\/p>\n<p>Pottery Class inquiry in Kurayoshi, Tottori:<br \/>\nNakamori Hakuga<br \/>\n\ud83d\udccd385 Fuyuoka, Kurayoshi, Tottori Prefecture<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcde 0858-22-8389<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd In this video, you\u2019ll see:<br \/>\nChapters:<br \/>\n00:00 Beautiful Misasa town in Tottori Prefecture<br \/>\n01:11 400-Year-Old Ryokan &#038; Japanese Tea Ceremony<br \/>\n04:35 Free public onsen &#038; walking around Misasa-cho<br \/>\n10:04 Pottery making &#038; match in neighboring Kurayoshi, Tottori<br \/>\n18:24 Private Misasa onsen, dinner, &#038; karaoke<br \/>\n23:23 The end<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rural hot spring town in the misty mountains of western Japan &#8211; Misasa, Tottori \u26a0\ufe0f please turn on subtit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":953621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[144740],"tags":[139029,27311,187,3188,184,27316,5811,6334,432067,6284,3199,144987,473,144985,144986,8752],"class_list":{"0":"post-953620","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tottori","8":"tag-countryside-japan","9":"tag-japan-countryside","10":"tag-japan-travel","11":"tag-japan-travel-vlog","12":"tag-japan-vlog","13":"tag-japanese-countryside","14":"tag-japanese-food","15":"tag-rural-japan","16":"tag-rural-japan-life","17":"tag-6284","18":"tag-3199","19":"tag-144987","20":"tag-473","21":"tag-144985","22":"tag-144986","23":"tag-8752"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/953620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=953620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/953620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/953621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=953620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=953620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=953620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
