Hyounosen Kogen no Yado Hyota-kun

Hyounosen Kogen no Yado Hyota-kun is a municipal lodging and sports complex located on the western slope of Mount Hyounosen in Wakasa-cho, Yazu-gun, Tottori Prefecture, Japan. It sits at roughly 840–900 metres above sea level at the entrance to the Mount Hyounosen climbing trail and beside the base of the Wakasa Hyounosen Ski Resort, making it a year-round base for hikers in spring, summer and autumn and for skiers in winter. The facility is owned by Wakasa-cho and managed under a designated-manager arrangement by the Wakasa-cho Tourism Development Corporation, an external body of the town. The property opened in July 1999 and consists of a three-storey reinforced concrete and steel hotel building together with extensive sports and training facilities. Its room inventory includes Japanese-style rooms and barrier-free twin Western rooms, and the official site states a total capacity of up to 182 guests, while the Japanese Wikipedia entry describes 25 guest rooms (142 persons) plus a ten-room cottage wing. On-site amenities include a restaurant seating 166, separate men's and women's large public baths, a gymnasium with two volleyball courts or one basketball court, an indoor sports centre, a training room, seminar rooms, a large hall and tennis courts. The lobby and guest rooms look out over the Tsukuyone rice terraces and Mount Jinbasan, and the sunset view is particularly noted. Hyota-kun is positioned as a resort hotel that also caters heavily to group use: families and groups on leisure trips, school groups, student clubs and sports clubs on training camps. The official site advertises free shuttle service to Tottori Airport and Tottori Station for parties of 20 or more, and publishes standard room rates covering room-only, breakfast-only, dinner-only and two-meal plans for adults and children. The facility is part of the broader Wakasa Hyounosen nature and recreation area, which includes the Wakasa Hyounosen Nature Fureai-no-Sato, the Tottori Prefectural Hyounosen Nature Fureai Hall Hibiki-no-Mori, the Wakasa Hyounosen campsite and the ski resort.

Hyounosen Kogen no Yado Hyota-kun was completed and opened in July 1999 as a town-owned lodging and sports facility in Wakasa-cho, Tottori Prefecture. It was built on the western slope of Mount Hyounosen, at the entrance to the mountain's climbing trail and adjacent to the base of the Wakasa Hyounosen Ski Resort, in an area developed as part of the Wakasa Hyounosen nature and recreation zone. The building is a three-storey reinforced concrete and steel structure. From the outset the facility was designed to serve two audiences: individual and family leisure guests seeking a resort hotel in the mountains, and organised groups such as sports clubs, student circles, school groups and forest-school programmes requiring gymnasium, training and seminar space. Management and operation were entrusted to the Wakasa-cho Tourism Development Corporation, a foundation established as an external body of Wakasa-cho, acting as designated manager. Over the years the property has continued to operate as a year-round base for hiking in spring, summer and autumn and for skiing in winter, and it has been marketed together with the surrounding Wakasa Hyounosen attractions, including the Tsukuyone rice terraces, the Hyounosen Nature Fureai Hall Hibiki-no-Mori and the campsite. Its official website publishes current room rates and group policies, including free shuttle service to Tottori Airport and Tottori Station for groups of 20 or more, and ski packages with lift tickets.
