Great hospitality!!

The staff and their service was excellent!! The room was spacious and beautiful Japanese style including the private hot spa. Both their dinner and breakfast were beautiful and delicious!! They treated us like a king and a queen! Very well trained and friendly staff. I’d like to stay there again.
You can choose one of Yukatas as your relaxing wear.

The hotel was overall amazing. Staff were quick to greet me and helped me with my luggage. They had information in both Japanese and English. The room itself was very nice. Had a very classic Japanese appeal with modern amenities that I greatly appreciated it. They give a yukata for each day to maintain cleanliness. The private onsen itself was very clean and spacious. The futon was fluffy and comfortable enough that you couldn’t feel the floor beneath. Location was nice and easily walkable although there is a bit of a hill to get to the hotel. Minutes away is the shopping area that leads to Dogo Onsen. The shopping area has a lot of good food and local gifts.

Beautiful room with amazing Onsen! Staff were very helpful. This hotel is located uphill from the main Dogo Onsen area and takes a few minutes of walking up the hill to get there, and there is no store or restaurant within 3-minutes walk. We didn't eat in but you probably should. We asked the hotel to call a taxi a couple of times and both times they tried very hard but couldn't find a car... Really?? No complaints to the hotel itself but I may want to stay at another hotel closer to the train station next time.
