Matsuyama | Popular hotels and Ryokan (Japanese inn) based on reviews!

When it comes to long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Dogo onsen(hot spring), there's Funaya, which was founded 390 years ago and is a Ryokan (Japanese inn) that even Japanese people dream of staying at at least once. Funaya was founded during the Edo period, even before the main building of Dogo onsen(hot spring), and has hosted many famous Japanese guests, including Emperor Showa. If you're coming all the way to Japan to stay overnight, we recommend a Japanese-style room. If you stay on the Club Floor (special rooms) on the 7th and 8th floors, the bath in your room will be made of cypress and will be filled with hot water from Dogo onsen(hot spring). Of course, there is a large public bath, but if you don't like being naked in public, there is also a foot bath in the garden. Dogo onsen(hot spring) has many dining options, but dinner at Funaya is prepared by top-class chefs, offering both Japanese and Western cuisine, so be sure to book a stay with meals included!

How about Dogo-kan? It’s a hotel where you can really savor the atmosphere of a traditional ryokan and relax in a beautiful Japanese-style room. You can experience sleeping on a futon on the tatami (straw mat) floor, or if you prefer a bed, they offer Japanese-Modern Twin rooms. The hotel also features a Teahouse (Chashitsu), and guests in the special rooms can enjoy a complimentary bowl of matcha (green tea) there on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Both the large communal bath and the open-air bath (Rotenburo) use the natural hot spring water; the open-air bath, in particular, offers a fantastic, natural setting. If you're looking for a special experience, Dogo-kan is a great recommendation!

If you want a special experience at Dogo onsen(hot spring), head to Yamatoya Honten. This lovely and stylish hotel has undergone renovations while preserving the traditions of a long-established establishment. One unique feature of this hotel is that it has a Noh stage within the building, where authentic Noh performances are regularly held. What's more, guests can wear white tabi socks, step onto the stage, and have their photo taken, an experience that even Japanese people rarely get to have! While the accommodation fee is a bit high for a luxury Ryokan (Japanese inn), there are Japanese-style rooms that can accommodate up to five people, so it's cheaper if you're traveling as a group.

If you're visiting Dogo onsen(hot spring), I highly recommend Chaharu! It's close to the main building of Dogo onsen(hot spring), so you won't get cold even in winter. There's also an open-air bath on the rooftop, so even though it's on the rooftop, you can enjoy onsen(hot spring) surrounded by nature while admiring the seasonal flowers. For meals, you can enjoy kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）that combines Japanese and Western cuisine using ingredients from Ehime Prefecture and the Seto Inland Sea, which is really cute! Even with meals included, you can stay for around 13,000 yen, including breakfast and dinner, so it's actually quite cheap! This hotel is recommended for trips with partner or a girls' trip!

ホテル古湧園 遥で過ごすのはいかがでしょうか。宿泊者専用のエレベーターで行ける展望大浴場は、道後温泉本館だけでなく松山城も眺めることができて絶景です。大浴場が苦手なら貸切風呂もあります。
道後温泉本館や道後ハイカラ通りまで徒歩1分くらいで行けるし立地も良いです。
