Offering 4 reservable private hot-spring baths, a relaxation room with massage chairs and traditional multi-course Kaiseki dinners, Dogo Prince Hotel is 5 minutes from Dogo-Onsen Train Station on the free shuttle. Rooms come with a yukata robe and zori sandals.

I can't say enough good things about the location! Gorgeous small town, great view out the window, the staff goes above and beyond if you need anything. We rented the Japanese style room and while I found the sleeping pad a bit too hard my wife slept fine! We rented one of their private onsens and it was amazing! The breakfast buffet was also great.

Boasting a 390-year history, Funaya offers hot-spring baths, a beautiful Japanese garden and a sauna. Just 200 metres from Dogo-Onsen Train Station, it provides traditional rooms with futon bedding and tatami (woven-straw) floors.

Attentive staff was accommodating, tries to anticipate what the guest needs/wants. Excellent bath facilities and spacious, well appointed rooms. Meals highlighted locally sourced foods and staff explained and encouraged us to try those with which we were unfamiliar. We were comfortable and felt safe. Excellent location near the center of town.

Situated in Matsuyama, 500 metres from Joshin-ji Temple, Kowakuen Haruka offers accommodation with an open-air bath, private parking and a garden. This 4-star ryokan offers a 24-hour front desk and a lift. The accommodation features a hot spring bath, public bath, family-friendly restaurant and free WiFi.

Perfect location close to onsen and shops and services, short walk from the tram and bus stops. They have elevators to the top that's a bit hidden, look for the little plaza with the cafe and foot bath place (behind the old dogo onsen). You'll need to buzz up the first time but after that you can use your room card. Service was top notch. Rooms with the balconies are worth it for the view. The sky spa/onsen is beautiful and big. They also have massage chairs in the changing areas. Tvs come with Chromecast. Lobby boasts vending machines with drinks (including alcohol) and the gift shop is cute. They had musical performances like piano in the evenings. Top notch.

This 2-star ryokan provides a spa experience, with its sauna and hot spring bath. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

The private onsen with sea view was amazing. The room itself was nice as well, it was a small tatami room and there's also a balcony next to the bath. We had dinner at the restaurant which was good and very reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and helpful. In the hallway and from outside it's visible that everything is a bit older already, but that didn't bother us, the room and bath are well maintained and renovated I assume.

    The host was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. The location was right in the heart of dogo onsen. The facilities were clean, and the bed was nice, even had extra blankets and blanket warmers for the winter. The toilets were downstairs but it wasn't too bad. Would highly recommend if you want a cheap hostel near the famous hot springs!

    The location is incredible, directly opposite dogo onsen. The room was very spacious, especially compared to Japanese standards. The staff were very helpful in assisting in getting into the car park (it was our first time driving into a stacked car park). The inclusive Japanese breakfast was tasty. It was the first time my wife enjoyed eating natto. It was great to walk to the dogo onsen annex in the supplied yukata, winter jacket, and clogs.

    A wonderfully authentic ryokan experience. Hisa is a great host and makes a delicious Japanese breakfast. The room was beautiful - paper walls and tatami, all in great condition. I slept fine on the futon. The shared bathroom was clean and pleasant and the onsen fun to use. Close to public onsens which you can walk to in the provided beautiful yukata.

    The building is a traditional, older Japanese inn - older as in authentic or with character, not old as in falling down. The owner/manager is great - helpful and kind. There are optional extras such as breakfast and onsen.

    Dogo Yaya is exceptional as a mid- range hotel and deserves the many industry awards it has received. Staff are most welcoming and helpful in explaining the accommodation facilities and inclusions (morning breakfast and evening sea bream rice), also the discount ticketing for the three Dogo Onsen baths, available through the hotel, and complementary yukata, geta, towels, soap, etc. All has been considered for guests to have a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    The most good part of this hotel is those staff. All of them were so kind. They made my stay as best as they could assist. Also, location, right next to Dogo onsen(I didn't use there, yamatoya's hot spring was amazing), if you go down, shopping street is there. Old Japanese style wooden structure is beautiful.

    Shimizu was extremely hospitable to us, contacting us ahead of time and clearly explaining everything about the ryokan. We had plenty of space in our room, futon was very comfy, and it had a really nice traditional atmosphere which was an important experience of staying in the Dogo Onsen area. Has a reservable private bath if you want a mini onsen to yourself!
