JIJIJIN Matsuyama

As the title suggests, the meals were truly impressive. They focused on local ingredients, and each dish was carefully prepared and absolutely delicious. The amenities were good, but it was inconvenient that the toilet was in the same space as the bath and washbasin. Also, I could hear footsteps from upstairs and the sound of doors opening and closing, which started to bother me and made it hard to sleep. It may have felt even louder because the surroundings are so quiet. The lake view was wonderful, and all of the staff were very kind—I’m truly grateful.

I have a personal connection to Matsuyama, and our family of four enjoyed a Multiple Night Stay over Golden Week. I was amazed to find a Hotel of this caliber in a place that isn’t widely known across The whole country.First of all, the staff were wonderful—warm and genuinely welcoming without being overly formal. Because it’s a small Accommodation, each person seemed to handle multiple roles.The Room was very stylish. That said, some aspects of the bathroom area were slightly inconvenient, but once you see the attention to detail in everything from the furnishings to the smallest accessories, it hardly matters.The meals were outstanding—presentation, plating, number of dishes, aroma, flavor—truly an art form. The vegetables, meat, fish—every ingredient was sourced within Ehime Prefecture. The sake and shochu were also local brands, and the tableware was Tobe-yaki pottery. It really made us feel how rich Ehime is.Since we stayed multiple nights, dinner on the first and second days was completely different—double the excitement. When I asked about menu variety out of curiosity, they said they’ve accommodated up to four consecutive nights before but would prefer guests keep it to three if possible (laughs).We usually stay at busy Hotels as a family, so this was also a great experience for our children. Thank you very much.
