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 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.
