An excellent location for staying in the Matsuyama Dogo Onsen area, the Yamatoya Honten is an older but very well-kept hotel with a very wide range of amenities at an affordable price. 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.

Hotel with very good service & great food
The hotel is 3min walk to the Dogo Onsen & shopping street. All hotel buildings around this area are very well maintained & hence give a very clean & green feeling to all visitors.
