Shikano Onsen, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture
Hotpia Shikano Onsen Hall
A good-value driving stop for natural hot-spring bathing, an outdoor pool, sauna and cold bath. Without a car, the local bus from Hamamura Station runs infrequently and needs advance timetable checking.

- The operator identifies the facility as a natural hot-spring bath with indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzi, cold bath and sauna.

Bathing indications
The operator and Tottori tourism pages list neuralgia, muscle pain, fatigue recovery and general health maintenance among bathing indications; these are not individual medical claims.
64.1°C is the source temperature, not a fixed bath temperature. Older listings of ¥440 for adults and ¥220 for children were replaced on 2025-04-21. The current lounge guidance discourages eating there; use the soba restaurant on the same grounds for a meal.
How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
