Since the trip is for celebrating my wife's birthday, our honeymoon and wedding anniversary, the hotel is willing to offer us a cake at a very low cost. Overall, we are very satisfied with our stay and we wish to visit again in the future. ##### Hing Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 4 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place exceeded expectations from the very beginning where you are greeted at the front entrance. The lobby is large with many tables and seats while waiting for the checkin process. The tatami room was clean and large with a great view of the mountain and Sakura trees. Before dinner a short walk down the hill takes you to Dogo Onsen and small shops. The Totoro shop was a fun place to visit. Then eating a small mochi stick with green tea added to the experience. There were many other snack shops but had to hold back to prepare for the big kaiseki dinner. The kaiseki dinner was beyond spectacular with intricate dish designs and wonderful taste. The Noh play during the meal added to the pleasant dining atmosphere. The Onsen was compact with both indoor and outdoor baths with reasonable temperature of around 43C. There was a small wooden bucket for washing was a nice touch instead of plastic buckets which is common at other places. Overall, this was the best ryokan I have stayed at. Highly recommended. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Koji 11 Apr 2025 I felt that the Yamato Ryokan is ##### Koji Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sin Tung 1 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very pleasant stay with high standard of service! ##### Sin Tung ### 10/10 Excellent #### francis 19 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Food was super and really delicious And enjoyed hot springs ##### francis Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KENTA 23 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities good place!! ##### KENTA Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### hayato 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities happy ##### hayato Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyoko 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good onsen ##### Kyoko Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rand Edward 10 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities There was nothing we didn’t like.

I was very surprised to find my room featured a massage chair! The public bath here receives its onsen water from the same source as the Dogo Onsen building itself and offers complimentary snacks and drinks after bathing. Breakfast came with either an option for traditional Japanese or Western, and was excellent. ##### Mori Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Takehisa 14 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness 露天風呂への出入り口の引き戸を、クローザー仕様にしてはいかがでしょうか。きちんと閉め切らないお客様がおられ、内風呂に外気が入り寒い思いをしましたので。みかん蛇口や駄菓子バーなど他所にない工夫が凝らされていてとても良かったです。細かいところまで清掃が行き届き、備品類はこまめに整理整頓され、全体的に清潔感が高い印象です。 ##### Takehisa Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yoshifumi 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 全てにおいて大変満足した。個室お食事どころでの夕食は本当に素晴らしかったです。 ##### yoshifumi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Takehiro 18 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 忘れ物対応良かったです ##### Takehiro Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Asami 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities スタッフの方の対応が丁寧で気持ち良かった。ご飯がどれも美味しく、品数も豊富で大満足。 露天風呂も素晴らしかった。 ![食事の最後にいただいたお茶の生チョコ。 お茶の苦味と生チョコの風味が絶妙。](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dcb3a446-01a4-4d0a-b678-d7c54219f599-1757323441761.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![いくらタワー。 朝から贅沢な海鮮丼をたっぷりいただきました。](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79369358-1dda-4fd5-844f-afb771fe43b4-1757323442082.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Asami Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fumiko 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 全てにおいて良かった ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0984a986-5f5e-4b31-8654-0776c3e1bee4-1755403132546.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ba5d83f-ff89-4e0d-9009-7b944d9dfec2-1755403132265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8d5ecf19-015a-44ab-ad71-c9a818301a50-1755403147953.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aabfc608-65e1-4781-a8b5-c8924b8162c5-1755403146178.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Fumiko Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### takashi 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities アクセスがよい ##### takashi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SHIGEKO 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities お友達が捻挫してしまい、相談したら、すぐ湿布をだしてくれました！ありがとうございます ##### SHIGEKO Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Ostuni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ostuni-Hotels.d6023417.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Coast Coal Harbour Vancouver Hotel by APA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vancouver-Hotels-Coast-Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-Hotel-By-APA.h2621798.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d5489-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Jardines del Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yaiza-Hotels-Jardines-Del-Sol.h2316582.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Tottenham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tottenham-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6251522-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hera Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Hera-Hotel.h874600.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Rochdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochdale-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d5670-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels near Ibiza Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibiza-Island-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d602653-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seven-Mile-Beach-Hotels-Kimpton-Seafire-Resort-And-Spa.h14761342.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Ivory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-OYO-The-Ivory-Hotel.h2760113.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterpark in Vietnam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Vietnam-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d194-twaterparkhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Babysitting Services in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Babysitting-Services.0-0-d178279-thotelwithbabysittingservices.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fairfield House -
