도고온천의 호텔과 료칸의 중간정도 형태로 다다미방과 노천을 이용할 수 있는 메리트가 가격 대비 훌륭한 곳이라고 생각합니다. 위치 자체도 도고온천 본관 바로 뒷쪽으로 상점가와 아주 가깝고, 다만 주변에 별로 할 것이 없다는게 단점입니다. 전반적으로 만족도는 높았습니다.

Great location, one of the closest hotels to Dogo Onsen. The staff are very friendly and professional, the onsite restaurant served a fusion ( French and Japanese) dinner and a buffet breakfast. We (a family with 1 adult daughter ) enjoyed the 2 night stay at this hotel, I highly recommend Chaharu ！

Best hotel in Dogo

The dinner is absolutely amazing.. it’s like a 9 course meal and every dish is good. The room is clean, service is prompt, location is convenient. Lastly, the outdoor onsen is also an attraction on its own!

良いホテルでした

ホテルの建物自体は古いものの、掃除が行き届いていてゆっくりくつろげた。 夕食のコース料理は、見た目も美しくシェフのオリジナル感満載でとても美味しかった。朝食のバイキングは種類豊富。 全体的にスタッフ皆がとても感じが良く、気持ちよく滞在出来た。
