My first time visiting Dogo Onsen was staying at Dogokan.Choosing Dogo Onsen was a great choice.The room I stayed in was a twin room on the 8th floor, and I was able to relax in a beautifully designed Western-style room.The location is close to the hot spring town, so I was able to go there many times to buy souvenirs and check out the shops.We enjoyed the hot springs, food, and drinks.

The inn was very nice. The food was delicious and the tableware was so cute that all my friends were impressed. I was surprised to receive a chocolate dessert from the head chef for breakfast! ️The bathroom is also spacious and clean. It was an inn I would like to stay at again.

It was so good... I want to go again if I have more money...The staff are not to the point of being burdensome, but just the right service and smile^^ Even the cleanliness of the rooms~!!I was very satisfied and wanted to come again if I had the chance!!The large public bath was spacious and even the open-air bath was perfect, and I couldn't help but think of my mother-in-law ㅠㅠㅠㅠThe bedding was soft and didn't smell.Kaiseki may vary depending on personal taste.I don't think there was any need to pay this money.The bathhouse in the room was really nice and clean despite the rain (there is a separate room with a bathtub).

It was my first time using itThis hotel has probably been around for a long time, but it is very clean.I stayed in a standard room, but it seems that there are also newly built modern rooms.The food was so delicious, I don't usually eat much, but I couldn't help but eat it and my stomach was swollen (^◇^;)There was a bath in the room, but since it was Dogo, I went to the public bath.It was very spacious and had hot water, which was great.Also, what impressed me was the fact that it cleans the windshield of a passenger car.There aren't many hotels with this kind of service these days.

I visited on a family trip. The location is about 10 minutes from Dogo Onsen Station. It is located on a slightly steep slope. I thought the access was great as it was close to the hot spring town. The lobby was kept clean while still retaining its old-fashioned charm, and the pleasant scent was very soothing. In addition to the open-air bath attached to the room (the room I stayed in this time), there is also a large public bath, so it was a very satisfying stay. The food we had in our room was very delicious and we were able to enjoy it in peace. All the staff members were very kind and helpful, so I was able to spend a stress-free and comfortable time.Also, it was an inn that I would want to stay at when visiting Dogo Onsen!

I visited about 1.5 years ago.It was a very nice inn, so I'm going to write about it because I want to go again.At that time, it was my first time visiting Shikoku itself.I was looking for a place with hot springs, I had never been before, and the fish was delicious (I also love sea bream), so I first chose Ehime Prefecture.Mr. Dogodate, first of all, I was impressed by his politeness and courtesy from the greeting and reception desk.Although it is a historical inn, the interior is very beautiful.The hot springs were really nice, the food was delicious, and although my memory is a little fuzzy, I remember they made rice balls with the leftover rice. I'm very happy to see such consideration.The tableware was beautiful and I could feel the chef's dedication to the dish.I went there when I was quite tired, but thanks to you, it was a very relaxing trip.Dogo Onsen is easily accessible from Matsuyama Airport, and is close to shopping streets and Matsuyama Castle, making it a city I would like to visit again.At that time, I would definitely like to use Dogodate again.
