5-Star Hotels in Ehime Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is not close to Dogo Onsen street and you will need to drive or get a taxi if you want to go there. There are no restaurants or shops nearby the hotel. There is a walk nearby the hotel you can take which offers nice scenery in the woods. The hotel looks a bit dated particularly the bedrooms and the corridors. I asked for a quiet room facing the mountain instead of one facing a busy road and had to pay an additional 2200 yen. The hotel has a number of onsens and I like the outdoor ones best. The buffet dinner and breakfast offer good selection and I particularly like the dinner which offered nice teppanyaki beef and sushi. The hotel reception staff spoke very little English and the hotel did not reply to an email I sent them asking for transportation information to get to the hotel. There are buses near the hotel which go to Matsuyama and Imabari but they run infrequently.

The room is large and expensive. It has a private hot spring ♨️ and complete facilities. It is a 3-minute walk from the main building of Dogo Onsen. It is especially suitable for getting up early to take pictures of the empty main hotel. The hot spring of the main hotel is open very late and there are more people than during the day. Much less. After soaking in Senri Chihiro's prototype building oil house (Dogo Onsen Main Building), you can also soak in a private hot spring when you return to the hotel. The hotel's hot spring water comes from the same water source as Dogo's. The reservation included breakfast and dinner. The beef in the set meal was delicious, and the other dishes were quite satisfactory. The price was due to the large room and private hot spring.

Beautiful location full of nature with polite customer service, dishes full of Ehime's charm, all were very nice. I used it on my wedding anniversary, but it made me a very good memory. It was a hotel that could be refreshed in nature.

It's a place I want to go again. I want to stay for a month with money. It was a very happy experience. The staff were friendly and the hot springs were so good and the room was in good condition. It was the most impressive place on my trip to Matsuyama.

結論としては、同じ金額払うならこういうタイプのホテルではなく、通常のホテルが私的には合っていると思いました。再訪はないと思います。 【部屋】 想像していたよりも清潔感がありよかったです。ただやはり、古民家のため窓そのものが完全に閉まりきらず虫が入り放題だったのは残念。 【設備】 水回りは現代的でよかったですが、お風呂のシャワーの位置が微妙でした。 温度調整する部分が下にありすぎるのと、椅子は低すぎでした。 【スタッフ】 人によってばらつきがあり、そこがすごく残念でした。例えば、朝食会場では、説明をしてくれる日とそうでない日があり、スタッフによってサービスのレベルが異なります。 また、朝食会場は終始慌ただしくバタバタと足音を立てるので落ち着いて食事ができなかったです。

Room is clean and comfortable. Their staff are generally friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fantastic. Onsen facilities is great.

This hotel is located on the top of a mountain and was designed by Tadao Ando. There are seven rooms in total, one per floor, including the new building and the main building. Because we arrived late today, the hotel left four staff members to serve us. They had been emailing us to inquire about the arrival time and whether we had food allergies. They were very caring and meticulous. We booked a semi-open-air hot spring forest room. The room is large, but the decoration style is very Andou style. The room has a private bath but it is not open-air, two bathrooms, and a mini bar with various drinks. The Ehime orange juice is very delicious. The whole hotel is Andou Tadao's gallery. The main features are spaciousness, natural light, concrete, and basement. It is a mini version of Chichu Gallery in Naoshima.

All rooms are called ocean view, but 305 is not an ocean view ... Sea far from bathroom??? Would you like to stay a little cheaper using trip? The view like a side room is so disappointing The sauna glass is not clean and the sauna view is not very ... Nevertheless, the consideration and kindness of the staff were impressed by the way they did their best to lack 10 stars. Especially thanks to the staff who said Nepal was home, it was a very happy trip.
