It was a very good hotel. The food was delicious and the hot springs were great 😄I never thought I would be able to make a bonfire at a hotel and drink coffee or cocoa with my kids while looking at it, but my kids were happy and happy that it was a valuable experience😆I would definitely like to stay again. At that time, I would like to stay overnight 😄

Chichitoko and her family went to Okudogo Ichiyu no Mamoru-san! Surrounded by the mountains of Okudogo, Ichiyu no Mamoru was a relaxing space that felt like it was in another world. As soon as I arrived, I felt at ease with the warm hospitality of the staff.When I was shown to my room, I was taken by the view of the lush greenery from the spacious Japanese-style room. My son was very excited and said, "Amazing!"Dinner is a colorful Setouchi buffet with 80 dishes. Ehime's local cuisine, fresh seafood, and mountain delicacies are so abundant that you'll be spoiled for choice. In particular, the all-you-can-eat live kitchen sushi and sirloin steak were so delicious that I ended up having to refill them many times. My son also ate a lot, saying, "It's delicious!" with shining eyes.The open-air bath in the public bath was also great. There is something special about looking at the scenery of the valley while soaking in the spacious bathtub. The hot springs had a faint scent of sulfur and made my skin feel smooth.Breakfast is buffet style, with a wide variety. I was full from the morning with the many dishes made with local ingredients.I was impressed by the smiling faces and courteous customer service of the staff. I am truly grateful to you for being kind to me even when my son was making a fuss.Mr. Mamoru of Okudogo Ichiyu, where you can fully enjoy delicious food and hot springs in an environment surrounded by nature. I had a wonderful time relaxing with my family. I would like to visit again in a different season!

I think it was a little expensive since it was a 3-day weekend, but I was satisfied with everything. There are many open-air baths, and you can choose a yukata, so I'm glad I came. (2024.10.13)

The breakfast and dinner meals were buffet style and had a wide variety of items and were homemade and delicious.The building is long and there is a long distance to travel from room to room, making it difficult for people with walking disabilities.The entire hotel is thoroughly cleaned, but the extra blankets and pillows are placed directly on the plywood in the closet, so I hesitate to use them. I think it would be a good idea to put some measures in place, such as placing baskets.The large public bath is an alkaline sulfur spring, which seems to have a lot of sodium, so it's moist.The spring temperature is about 39 to 40 degrees, so you can take a relaxing bath.There is an indoor bath on the second floor from the changing room, and an open-air bath on the lower floor, but many people chose to take the open-air bath because it was difficult to locate the indoor bath.The stairs to the open-air bath are slippery due to the quality of the water, and it is dangerous at night as it is dark. An elderly person was slipping.There is a Lawson convenience store 800 meters away, but there are no sidewalks and there is a lot of traffic, so shopping at night is dangerous.We recommend purchasing in advance.

I came to Okudogo Onsen for the first time. Although the hotel is located in the mountains, it was helpful to have a shuttle service from the hotel to Dogo Onsen Station. The hotel facilities are old, but both the open-air bath and the indoor bath were very nice. The spring quality has a sulfur smell, but it made my skin smooth and I really liked it. All the staff were kind and I was very satisfied with the birthday dessert plate and private open-air bath service. The dinner buffet had many items and was delicious. I was able to spend a quiet and relaxing time and was healed. I would like to stay there again if I have the chance.

The building feels like the bubble of the Showa era.It was built along the cliff, or rather, the slope along the river, so you can see the greenery and the river.. . . It's too wide. It must have been prosperous in its heyday, but it's too long horizontally.It's hard to get around 🍚It's a lot of walking just to eat and take a bath Well, I guess it would be fun to explore like a Showa suspense movie, but overall it was too big and I felt like I couldn't move around.After getting naked in the hot springs, I went up and down 3 or 4 stairs (if I wanted to go to the indoor bath), and the sauna was added later with 2 staff for the size of the hot springs.It was fully loaded and the temperature control of the shower was fixed. The cause was unknown, but one person complained of itching after sleeping on the futon after returning home.I was full at night and the breakfast buffet was really good.

Open-air bath with nice lukewarm water ♨ If you go up the stairs to the 2nd floor, there is a large indoor bath where you can swim. The next morning's buffet is satisfying with lots of vegetables.We rented a car at Matsuyama Airport and went sightseeing around the city, and the next day we went on the Kurushima Kaikyo Whirlpool Tide Boat.

The sashimi on the buffet menu consisted of two items: bonito and sea bream. People like me who like sea bream but hate bonito are in trouble. Of course, the opposite is also true!Also, the tour conductor was angry that the staff did not see them off when they left, which is common on group tours.

Staying at Okudō Goichiyu no Mori Onsen Hotel is a pleasant experience. After we checked in on September 7, 2024, on the morning of September 8, I took my mother, who has some mobility issues, to the restaurant on the 4th floor for breakfast. The hotel's service staff were very attentive and enthusiastic, making us feel at home. Because my mother has limited mobility, the service staff specially prepared a dining cart so that we could conveniently place our dinner plates, so that my mother would not have to use extra force to hold the plates when picking up the meal, which was very considerate.Not only that, the service staff also carefully noticed that we were travelers from Taiwan. In order to make it easier for us to leave the restaurant, they used mobile phone translation and proactively asked us if we needed to use another passage that did not require climbing stairs. This kind of delicate service We were very moved. The hotel's attentiveness and care are evident, not only in its attitude towards guests, but also in its consideration of every detail.In addition, the quality of the hotel's food and beverages is also very commendable. Whether it is a buffet for dinner or breakfast, the dishes are rich and delicious, and the hotel's careful preparation can be seen in every dish. The ingredients are fresh and taste good, so every traveler should be able to find their favorite dishes here. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here and truly felt the hotel's efforts in providing high-quality service to its guests.We were deeply impressed by the service quality and dining experience at Okudōgo Ichiyu no Mori Hot Spring Hotel. The hotel's service staff are not only kind and attentive, but also have the ability to proactively solve problems, making us feel comfortable and at ease every moment here. We highly recommend this hotel, especially for the elderly who need special care or travelers who want to enjoy meticulous service. The experience of staying here made us feel truly at home, and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

I like quiet and secluded places, but for other people, the walking path is too dangerous and difficult to walk, and the taxi distance is not very close. Of course, there is a free shuttle bus, so it is convenient, but the hot spring bath is good and the breakfast is delicious. Above all, the staff are friendly. I do^^

The bath was very spacious and had 1 indoor bath, 7 outdoor baths, and 1 sauna.The indoor bath is a bit old,The outdoor baths were very beautiful, and there were bubble baths, carbonated baths, small baths, and baths with hot spring water coming out from above.There was a bath with the most beautiful view, but I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a hot spring and it smelled of chlorine.Next, the bubble bath with a beautiful view doesn't seem to be a hot spring either.I guess this is to prevent people from staying in the bath for too long, so it doesn't get crowded.I felt that autumn would be even more beautiful with the colored leaves.

I used it on a summer trip with my children. I stayed one night in a room with an open-air bath. The staff were all polite and made us feel very comfortable. The food was a kaiseki style course and I was satisfied with both the quality and quantity. →I expected Ehime to be more particular about the orange juice soft drink, but...The entire facility has a fusion of Japanese and Western style, and when I actually used it, I found it to be a strange and interesting inn with quite a lot of Japanese elements (such as relocated buildings).
