5-Star Hotels in Ehime Prefecture, Japan

I've been to Okudogo six times, which means I visit Matsuyama frequently. Every time I go, I make sure to visit Okudogo. In spring, the cherry blossoms are stunning. The hot springs are truly wonderful, and the breakfast and dinner are also great. While the rooms are a bit old, they are spacious, and the mountain view from the room is beautiful. I went on December 1st, and the autumn leaves were gorgeous! Highly recommend!

Location is a short walk from Dogo onsen station. The experience was amazing, rooms were huge and I was surprised to have a staff member show us around the room and explain the amenities available. The amount of hospitality is above and beyond any we've experienced at other places and ryokans. They also have a very beautiful outdoor garden, onsen and geta (traditional Japanese wooden shoes) and yukata to wear around the premises.

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.

In conclusion, I thought that if I paid the same amount, it would be suitable for a normal hotel, not a hotel of this type. I don't think there will be a revisit. 【House】 It was nice to have a cleaner feeling than I had imagined. However, it is a pity that the window itself was not completely closed and insects were all-you-can-eat because of the old folk house. 【Equipment】 The water was modern and nice, but the location of the shower in the bath was subtle. The temperature adjustment part was too low and the chair was too low. Staff There were variations depending on the person, which was very disappointing. For example, at the breakfast venue, there are days when they will explain and days when they will not, and the level of service varies depending on the staff. Also, the breakfast venue was rushed from beginning to end, so I couldn't calm down and eat.

It was an inn full of hospitality. It was very quiet and I had a relaxing time. Both breakfast and dinner were served in your room and you could relax. However, I was a little disappointed that the slope from Dogo Onsen Station to the hotel was steep.

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.

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.

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.
