Yamatoya Besso

I had heard that my parents, who are from Ehime, used to stay here when they returned home. When my mother passed away, our family made a Reservation the day before.We were truly grateful that you prepared an offering meal for my mother both in the Room and at mealtimes.Although the staff member in charge was young, they treated us with just the right sense of distance.As there were six of us, you arranged a spacious tatami dining room for us,and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious cuisine.I did feel that the selection of alcoholic drinks was a little limited. I thought it would have been even better with more wine options or easy-to-drink sours.Breakfast was wonderful! There was nothing too heavy for the morning—thick-cut salmon, rolled omelet, yudofu tofu, and more—a menu so satisfying that I ended up having another bowl of rice.The “Jinchoge” Room was fun—when we opened doors that felt like something out of a ninja house, it was “here too,” and “here too.”While more and more innovative Accommodations are appearing these days, this is an Accommodation that steadfastly preserves traditional charm and protects Dogo. Especially in times like these,I sincerely hope it will continue to remain.I no longer have any particular reason to visit Ehime,but I would love to return so I can feel close to my parents again.Thank you very much.

Conveniently located just a short walk from Dogo Onsen and the shopping arcade, I went in and out a few times, and each time the service was pleasant—attentive without being excessive. Guests can also access the main building, where you can even tour (and actually step onto) the rare Noh stage, which feels like an exceptional perk.It unfortunately rained that day, but they lent me a large umbrella, which was very helpful.Dinner and breakfast served in the Room allowed me to relax without worrying about others. The attendant thoughtfully accommodated my pace and requests with genuine care, which I truly appreciated.Overall, the property has a calm atmosphere, and the staff are friendly yet professional. If I have another chance to visit Dogo Onsen, I would definitely stay here again.
