Yamatoya Besso

The Room design—especially the toilet layout and its combination with the washroom—was fantastic and I really loved it.The material of the in-room bath (I forgot the name) was made from very high-quality wood, and the wood fragrance was wonderful. Beer, ice pops, and water were all free, which was excellent service. The large public bath in the main building was also spacious and free to use—overall, it was simply great.

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.
