I booked the Western-style room since all the Japanese-style rooms were already fully booked, and I had a comfortable night's sleep. Japanese hotel rooms can be quite small, but for Yamatoya Honten's single room was pretty decently sized. The room even came with a massage chair, which I really appreciated after a long, long day of walking around in the summer heat. I had such a great time relaxing and destressing with the massage chair and, of course, Yamatoya Honten's and Dogo Onsen's baths. Speaking of Dogo Onsen, the location of Yamatoya Honten is great; it's very close to Dogo Onsen's main bath. Dogo Onsen is a small, compact town, but still: it's nice that Yamatoya Honten is so close to the main attraction. Also, the staff were very nice, and I really liked the delicious breakfast filled with Ehime specialties, the generous amenities and free services (free Nihonshu and Umaibo snacks outside the onsen area at night and in the morning; a Noh stage where you can have photo ops — there are even props), and the other experiences you can have at the hotel: reasonably priced yukata rental (the yukata patterns are very cute) and a footbath cafe where you can relax while enjoying drinks and snacks. I would love to stay here again when I have the budget. Thank you for a comfortable stay!

This was the third time I have stayed in Yamatoya Honten, and if I go back to Dogo Onsen I will stay there again. It is an elegant hotel with beautiful traditional Japanese rooms, an excellent onsen and a Noh theatre stage. Staying in an onsen town, you could walk around town wearing your hotel yukata. Dinner was excellent, and there was an extensive range of breakfast dishes to choose from, including ice cream. The children enjoyed the robot carrying the trays. During my stay there was an earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale, it woke me from sleep. A loud-speaker announced the earthquake in English and Japanese. The emergency doors closed, preventing access to the lifts, and re-opened when all was clear. The hotel was not damaged. I was immensely reassured by the hotel's ability to withstand earthquakes.

Luxurious buffet breakfast with many Japanese style dishes. There were a couple of western dishes as well. Location was perfect - right next to Dogo Onsen. Dogo Onsen is busy, especially during its renovation, so the well-maintained hot spring bath of Yamatoya Honten is a perfect alternative if you prefer less people. Bath robes (yukatas) and sandals are provided to visit the hot spring. It can also be worn into Dogo Onsen town. There's an ambient stage on 4F to take memorable pictures of yourself in yukata. Tip: go during the evening, there's stage light for added ambience. Staff are well-dressed, incredibly polite and helpful.

Great location, lots of old time atmosphere. I would highly recommend for,the price, which is kept reasonable partly because although the frontage is a historic ryokan, it's actually a large hotel . The superb Japanese breakfast buffet is in a characterless large hall at tables with vinyl tableclothes. Redemption comes if you know to book in advance one of the several smaller dinner restaurants on site. And there are plenty of non-hotel dining options in the neighborhood. There is a fine line between period ambience and needing a refresh, and the public areas around the entrance are on the verge of crossing it.

A very Japanese focused onsen hotel in the heart of the tourist area. As usual with local Japanese hotels, if you want to eat any meals there, do so on your initial reservation. I did, and was fine, but frustrating that you can’t add after the fact. The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly(Enough English spoken so no problems) the meals were very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Japanese style room. I would happily stay here again in the future
