Soak in Dogo’s hot springs in a scenic open-air bath with sweeping views over Matsuyama.
A hot spring ryokan just a short walk from Dogo Onsen Honkan, one of Dogo Onsen’s most popular spots. From the scenic open-air bath with both hot and warm pools to a spacious public bath that can accommodate around 100 guests, you can fully enjoy Dogo’s famous waters, often said to be among Japan’s oldest.
Guest rooms are Japanese-modern spaces designed with “gilded washi”: hand-made Ozu washi paper produced in Uchiko, Ehime, finished with French gilding techniques. Choose from a variety of room types, including Japanese-style rooms, rooms with a footbath, and Japanese-western rooms with a private open-air bath.
Meals, selected by plan, are served as a Setouchi-style half-buffet featuring mainly local ingredients from Ehime, another highlight of the ryokan. A guest favorite is the tasting comparison of two Ehime specialties: Matsuyama tai-meshi and Uwajima tai-meshi. Unwind in the baths and savor great food for a special stay.

Some reviews are AI-translated.
When visiting Matsuyama in Ehime, I highly recommend setting aside time to explore Ozu.
The hometown of the male lead in "Tokyo Love Story" is in Ozu.
I rented a bike and first went up to Ozu Castle, then visited Garyu Sanso to enjoy the beautiful views of the Hijikawa River, and later followed the map to the Red Brick Hall. In one day, I got to experience a historic castle, a Japanese garden, and English-style brick architecture.
I really liked the quiet, relaxed atmosphere around Ozu Castle. It’s perfect for a slower pace of life.
Awesome location—you can walk to Dogo Onsen Honkan and the shopping street!
