Old England Dogo Yamanote Hotel

We stayed here for my girlfriend’s birthday trip. We made a Reservation with the birthday Plan, and everything—the cake, dinner, Room decorations, and bouquet—was wonderful and made the trip truly special. We would love to stay again when we visit Ehime. Thank you very much.

It’s located partway up a hill. It’s not far from the station, but there is a bit of an uphill walk. If I had any complaint, that would be the only one.Although the staff around the front desk are all Japanese, the place goes all-in on an England-style theme. As you pass through the entrance, towels are provided so guests who got caught in the rain can dry off. To help you enjoy Dogo’s public bathhouses, they also lend out carry baskets with two towels inside free of charge. The guest rooms do feel a bit dated, but that’s Old England for you (laughs). The room wear is yukata—because this is Dogo Onsen. In addition to slippers, there are also zori sandals—because this is Dogo Onsen.The large communal Onsen bath is wonderful!For breakfast, you can choose either a Western set or a Japanese set. It may be Old England, but it’s still Dogo Onsen.I don’t know how long this Hotel has been operating, but an England-style Hotel in Japan’s oldest Onsen town… I truly love how seriously and wholeheartedly they stick with such an “Isn’t that unusual?” concept.It feels genuinely stylish and modern in a classic way. There’s a remarkable harmony to it all.It was a lovely place that made me think, “I’m glad I stayed here.” I’ll be back again.
