VISIT TOTTORI CITY

When you visit Mitakien, you will be greeted by a quintessentially Japanese landscape that appears as if time has stopped.

Within the grounds, there are traditional old houses with roofs covered in the leaves of a plant called kaya (thatch). Inside the buildings, you will find traditional Japanese sunken hearths known as irori, which exude an old-world Japanese charm.

At each dining spot, you can tuck into simple, heartwarming local dishes made with mountain vegetables harvested locally, as well as grilled river fish cooked over charcoal.

Across the vast grounds, the gentle babbling of clear waters and the chirping of birds create a pleasant backdrop of sounds, while the seasonal beauty of nature heals the soul. At the cafe nestled in the forest, you can also savor the smooth flavor of cold-brewed coffee.

This is the perfect destination for those looking to experience traditional Japanese living, rich culinary culture, and untouched nature.
