Curated Collection
9 stays
Tamatsukuri, in Shimane near Matsue and Izumo Taisha shrine, has been prized since ancient times for skin-softening waters — and its inns are more flexible with dietary requests than the area's off-the-beaten-path reputation suggests. We track 9 stays in our database that offer vegetarian meal options, from $80 a night. Shiraishiya leads with a 9.5 guest rating, Yunosuke no Yado Chorakuen (9.3) is known for its huge garden bath, and Hotel Gyokusen keeps the entry point around $80. San'in kaiseki normally leans on Japan Sea seafood, so give kitchens several days' notice when booking. A good-value alternative to Japan's more famous spa towns.
