The staff were so lovely and the hotel had lots of little nice touches that made it a pleasure to stay at. Dogo onsen was next door and the hotel provided towels and yukata to take. The room was quiet and peaceful. I didn’t dine at the hotel but enjoyed the free sake bar and there were lots of options for food nearby.

Excellent. Right behind Dogo Onsen. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere, best hotel I stayed at. Restaurants a little pricey though.

I felt that the Yamato Ryokan is

The place exceeded expectations from the very beginning where you are greeted at the front entrance. The lobby is large with many tables and seats while waiting for the checkin process. The tatami room was clean and large with a great view of the mountain and Sakura trees. Before dinner a short walk down the hill takes you to Dogo Onsen and small shops. The Totoro shop was a fun place to visit. Then eating a small mochi stick with green tea added to the experience. There were many other snack shops but had to hold back to prepare for the big kaiseki dinner. The kaiseki dinner was beyond spectacular with intricate dish designs and wonderful taste. The Noh play during the meal added to the pleasant dining atmosphere. The Onsen was compact with both indoor and outdoor baths with reasonable temperature of around 43C. There was a small wooden bucket for washing was a nice touch instead of plastic buckets which is common at other places. Overall, this was the best ryokan I have stayed at. Highly recommended.

An old but well-kept traditional Japanese style onsen ryokan with great amenities and professional services

Great

Traditional accomodation. Just what we were looking for. Comfortable futons, and a well appointed room.

Food was super and really delicious And enjoyed hot springs

Excellent location.

Property was very nice, clean, efficient, and the bath was amazing.

The traditional Japanese style hot spring bath. Kind staff.Traditional Japanese Kaiseki dinner.

Good onsen

There was nothing we didn’t like. It was a very pleasant stay with a very professional and friendly staff. Next time we want to stay longer.

An excellent location for staying in the Matsuyama Dogo Onsen area, the Yamatoya Honten is an older but very well-kept hotel with a very wide range of amenities at an affordable price. I was very surprised to find my room featured a massage chair! The public bath here receives its onsen water from the same source as the Dogo Onsen building itself and offers complimentary snacks and drinks after bathing. Breakfast came with either an option for traditional Japanese or Western, and was excellent.

Wonderful.

The hotel is 3min walk to the Dogo Onsen & shopping street. All hotel buildings around this area are very well maintained & hence give a very clean & green feeling to all visitors.

道後温泉本館からも近いロケーションに立地。 春休みの期間中であったので、子供連れの宿泊客も多く、廊下での声が響いていた。宿泊時期を選ぶ必要がある。

朝食メニューは和風主体で豊富で満足できた。

うっかりだと思いますが、チェックインの際に同姓別人の方の宿泊者名簿を提示してきて、個人情報流出の懸念が、、、ということがありました。 フルネームを口頭で確認してから名簿を見せて記載させた方がよいかと思いますので、ご検討いただければと思います。

お風呂が綺麗で良かったです
