Press Release

[Mercure Tottori Daisen Resort & Spa] The fruitful autumn arrives. From September, we will offer food experiences to enjoy new rice in Tottori Prefecture, the mountains of God, and the blessings of Oyama after breakfast, dinner, and hot springs.

Mercure Tottori Daisen Resort & Spa, an all-inclusive resort hotel located at the foot of Oyama (Hokicho, Saihoki-gun, Tottori Prefecture / General Manager: Masaya Oshiro) will offer an autumn-only experience to enjoy the blessings of Oyama from September 2025.

Utilizing fresh rice harvested locally and seasonal ingredients from Tottori, we will prepare the deliciousness that allows guests to feel the local climate and the changing seasons.

The opportunity to experience the charm of San-in through the “Kamizuki” and “Autumn Fruit”

Since ancient times, the Sanin region has been regarded as a place where eight million gods gather, and it is believed that gods from all over the country gather at Izumo Taisha Shrine in October of the lunar calendar. During this period, it is called "Kannazuki" nationwide, and in the Izumo region, it is called "Kamiarizuki" (Kamiarizuki), and it has been popular with people as a special season in which the relationship with the gods is connected. (*1)

Autumn is also a season of fruit, including new rice. Tottori is also a time when a variety of agricultural products that are nurtured by rich nature come out. In recent years, as interest in sustainable agriculture and local production for local consumption has increased, the value of "rice" and the Japanese food culture itself have been re-examined.

Based on these local culture and trends of the times, our hotel offers a place where visitors can feel the "deepening of the seasons unique to San-in" through food experiences that combine the blessings of Oyama, which is also known as the mountain of gods, and the taste of autumn.
