With about thirty hotels, traditional inns, and ski lodges surrounding Daisen Temple and about a dozen more 7 kilometers away in the resort village of Daisen Akema-no-Mori, visitors will find a full range of options for their stay. Most inns offer guests a full breakfast and dinner, and many feature local produce, wild vegetables, and regional specialties. Signing up for meals along with your room is a good idea since there are few restaurants or grocery stores in the immediate area. Backpackers or those on a limited budget might want to stock up on picnic supplies in the nearby city of Yonago. Hotel reservations may be made through the Daisen Tourism Association (0859-52-2502), or by stopping in at the Daisen Information Center.
