Chaharu

Located in the heart of Dogo Onsen, close to Dogo Onsen Honkan, Chaharu is the first onsen ryokan in the area to feature an open-air bath.

The pride of Chaharu is its open-air bath on the 10th floor, offering stunning views of Matsuyama Castle and Mount Ishizuchi. At night, guests can enjoy bathing under a sky full of stars. On weekends, the ladies' bath offers a luxurious rose bath from 5 PM to 10 PM, providing a unique and glamorous bathing experience exclusive to Chaharu. After soaking in the bath, the observation lounge is a great place to relax.

The ryokan offers a variety of rooms to suit different preferences, including traditional Japanese rooms, Western-style rooms, and modern Japanese rooms that blend both styles. One standout option is the room designed by former Marimekko designer Fujiwo Ishimoto, featuring Marimekko mugs and cushion covers. Guests can also immerse themselves in Ishimoto's world at the "Select Shop" on the first floor and the restaurant "La Cuisine Japonaise Haru" on the third floor.

For dining, Chaharu offers two options: "Saryo Hanakoji" on the second floor, where guests can enjoy contemporary Japanese kaiseki cuisine in a modern Japanese setting, and "Main Dining Hari" on the third floor, which serves buffet-style meals. Additionally, the "RIN" shop on the first floor offers kimono rentals for those looking to explore the onsen town in traditional attire.
