Tottori Pokapoka Onsen

Tottori Pokapoka Onsen is a welcoming and well-maintained hot spring facility that offers a relaxing break for both locals and visitors. The baths are spacious and clean, with a good variety of options including indoor and outdoor pools that allow you to unwind at your own pace. The atmosphere is calm and friendly, making it easy to forget the outside world as soon as you step inside. The water is pleasantly warm and soothing, perfect for easing travel fatigue or simply enjoying a quiet moment of relaxation. Facilities such as lockers, showers, and resting areas are thoughtfully designed and easy to use, even for first-time onsen visitors. Staff are courteous and efficient, adding to the overall sense of comfort. With its reasonable prices, convenient location, and relaxing environment, Tottori Pokapoka Onsen is an excellent place to experience everyday Japanese onsen culture in a laid-back, approachable setting.

Clean onsen with many baths and lots of services at the facility. Entry ticket for an adult was ¥800 for a weekday, does not include towel rental. Shampoo and body soap is provided, but conditioner, other products, lounge wear, and towels need to have separate tickets purchased. The ticket machine only took cash. I went on a weekday morning and there were about 10 other people in my side of the bath. There many baths inside and out with varying temperatures and water types. There is a restaurant, resting area, hairdresser, massage service, and coin laundry. It’s less than 30 minutes on foot from JR Tottori station, but there are some buses that will take you part of the way there.

Spacious, clean and well-maintained public onsen with shower facilities. You may park in the ample parking spaces, and purchase a ticket from the coupon vending machine. Adult tickets are at 700¥ each. Ladies and men onsen areas are clearly separated, and there are many hot pools and sauna rooms. Some of the pools are outdoors, and there is a cold pool indoor as well. Try out the hydrojet bath! You may rest at the tatami mat areas after showering. There is a restaurant inside as well with a good variety of Japanese food, reasonably priced.

Stopped by while visiting the area as a tourist. Large facility with a wide variety of bathing/relaxation/dining options and quite busy on a weekday midday, with what appeared to be locals. Unfortunately, they do NOT allow tattoos, so I was turned away at the reception area. (Rated 4/5 to be fair, as it is a cultural norm for some onsen to not allow tattoos, even for foreigners.) If I return in the future, I will check again in case they update their policy. It looks like a great onsen and I wish I could have enjoyed it.

Very good experience! Weekdays it' 800jpy, weekends/holiday 900jpy There is indoor hot bath, massage baths, sauna, cold baths and outside is hot pool, 2 hot tubs and one warm bath It was pleasant, relaxing and overall one of top 3 onsens I've visited. The only minus is that there is very few buses going there, otherwise it's 40min walk from Tottori station. There is a huge parking lot and gas station though; so if you're in the area by car, it'd be a great stop after a long day
