Ryokan Dougoya

It's more like a hostel.

Very friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Breakfast is a little basic but everything else is a 10 out of 10

Beautiful traditional inn located within the historic Dogo area. We had a large tatami room with futon which we were hoping for. Lovely breakfast provided. Didn't know that there was a small onsen (bath) at the inn until we got there, ran out of time to use it but we went to another fantastic one nearby. Would definitely stay here again, thanks for your hospitality and beautiful building.

We had a lovely time at this hotel. It has a bit of a hostel vibe with the shared toilets and showers, although it was all impeccably clean and we never had to wait for a turn. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was basic but filling and the coffee was really nice. The ryokan is an easy tram ride out of the centre to Dōgo, where the famous onsen is. (I would greatly recommend going there too and having the tea and sweets after your bath! It felt very luxurious!)

Very good-value if you don't mind sharing bathrooms - Dogo Onsen and Asuka-no-yu around the corner for bathing opportunity anyway and you can wear yukatas and slippers provided by Dougoya to wear around town. Our actual tatami room was very spacious and peaceful. Japanese breakfast extremely simple, hot rice, misoshiru, pickles, tea and coffee, served in a functional kitchen, but you are welcome to bring extra food to supplement. Staff were wonderfully kind and charming. We'd go back any time.

アメニティとしての歯ブラシ類はありませんし、布団も各自、食事も各自です。部屋で騒いではいけません。そういったことが気にならない方にはオススメです。非常に綺麗に掃除がされていますし、お風呂のお湯も非常に良いです。

昔の料亭だそうです。一見普通に見える和風の収まりですが至るとこに大工さんの技が隠れています。今では入手するには効果すぎる一枚ものの天井、床、欄間。細工が難しい竹。絢爛豪華な装飾とは一味違った草庵風の和室のしつらえ。 和の建物が好きな方は満足されると思います。

素晴らしかったです。 素敵な一泊ありがとうございました。

店員さんの接客が大変良かったです。

Charming and cosy ryokan, our room is decorated with owner's beautiful handcrafted decor.
