- joonhyung (10/5): - 2박하면서 아침식사가 달라진 것이 좋았습니다. 온천물이 참 편하다고 느껴졌습니다. 도고온천역에서 걸어서 2분정도 거리여서 아주 가까웠던게 좋았네요. 숙소 내 기념품 판매점 가격대가 어지간한 상점가보다 좋은 편이라 추천합니다
- Lance (9/5): Very relaxing stay! - We were treated to Amazing breakfast and dinners and wee served by very elegant waitress.
- CHING-YEN (9/5): 飯店地點很好，附近主要景點都在走路範圍，飯店還有代客停車服務 - 員工很多，員工都非常熱情友善 戶外泡湯處很普通
- Jungsun (9/5): -
- But G (8/5): - The location is great, very close to Dogo Onsen. Staff service was excellent. Meals were delicious. Parking was sufficient. Overall ambience was nice. Room was spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning was central controlled. No cooling could be operated from room. It was a bit too warm during sleep.
- RenateF (9/5): - Great location for Dogo Onsen, friendly staff,
- Yan (10/5): -

- woodfuk (10/5): - 食事が素晴らしかった。 風呂が良かった。 貴重な資料が設置されている。 冬場に風呂の扉を開けっ放しにするダラシ無い客がいた。
- SOHYEONG (10/5): - 정말 황송할 정도로 너무 너무 친절하시다.... 도어맨부터 리셉션까지 빠지는게 없는 극강의 친절함에 반했습니다.... 더 있고 싶었는데 일정 때문에 더 오래 못있었던 것이 아쉬울 정도로 슬펐어요. 그리고 조식 너무 맛있어요. 조식 포함해서 조식 꼭 드시기를!
- 권 (10/5): -
- JUNKI (10/5): -
- jinhyo (8/5): 좋은 위치와 아름다운 정원이 강점 - 격식있고 친절한 직원들의 서비스가 좋았습니다. 대욕장이 잘 갖춰져있고, 정원이 예뻤어요. 객실은 깨끗하고 편안했으며 위치 또한 아주 좋았습니다. 의외로 계단이 많아 연로하신 어머님이 쉽지 않은점은 아쉬웠어요. 그리고 식사는 기대치에 미칮 못했습니다. 객실이 도로의 소음에 노출되어 있는점도 조금 아쉬웠습니다.
- PEI CHANG (10/5): -
- 智 (9/5): 最高でした！ - ①温泉＆食事！ ②道後温泉の観光をしやすい立地 ③庭園 綺麗に手入れされた日本庭園です！ ④外湯に行く際の為に、浴衣の他に丹前、竹製のかご（入口）、荷物を入れる袋（フロント）があるのが良い ※雪駄を履く際の靴下（足袋？）もありました なし！
- marcos (10/5): - Localização e estrutura excepcionais, jantar fora de série. Uma hospedaria super tradicional japonesa, mas com estrutura e acomodações modernas.
- JeffreySoCH (7/5): It's okay - Staff are friendly and helpful, a very Japanese-style accommodation. Great to experience Japanese culture. Toilet stinks, hence the whole room smells.
- Gwenda (9/5): Comfortable stay in a traditional hotel. - The location was ideal close to local sites and public transport. I had a very comfortable room with a view of the gorgeous gardens. Just a couple of signs of wear and tear.

- Noriko (7/5): - 父が具合が悪くなりましたが、迅速に車イスの手配などしていただきました。スタッフの方が会うたびにその後いかがですかと声を皆さんかけてくださり、情報の共有がなされているのだと感心しました。 朝食は父が食べるかわからなかったので１食キャンセルしたのですが、結局父が回復して食べたため1食足りない感じになっていたのですが、味噌汁などサービスでいただけてよかったです。とても親切にしていただきました。 古い建物のためか完全にバリアフリーでなく高齢者には危険な箇所、歩きにくいところがありました。部屋のなかも段差だらけで躓いて怪我をしそうでヒヤヒヤしました。
- tomomi (8/5): ゆったりのんびり - お部屋が清潔で広い ない
- タロビン (8/5): - 食事は朝夕食共に美味しかったしお部屋も広くて快適でした 今までに何度か泊まり道後では一番気に入っていましたが今回は私の携帯のWi-Fiが繋がったりインターネットに繋がっていませんの表示の度再起動しなければならなかったのと室内のバスタブの栓が壁に挟まって取れずフロントに電話して外してもらったり何度かトラブルで部屋に来て頂きました

- MIRAN (10/5): 크리스마스 여행 - 조식도 좋았고 직원들이 엄청 친절했음. 침구류, 룸 컨디션도 아주 좋았고, 온천 또한 깔끔하고 청결했음. 가격이 좀 높아 아쉬웠음.

- YB (9/5): -
- Annie (9/5): Big and nice room - Big, nice room and good space for 2 pax. There is a sofa area with table and we enjoyed supper in our room. We booked half board, dinner was keiseki and breakfast with a view. The onsen is quite big and you can also enjoy a soak in the room with the wooden tub. Hotel is walking distance from shopping area which has a lot to offer. There isn't much to pick however, i believe there is always room for improvement. If everything can be up a notch then it will be perfect!
- JUYOUNG (10/5): -
- Dianne (10/5): A wonderful 2 day stay at the historic Dogo Onsen area. - We had the junior suite with an amazing view of the city and the Matsuyama Castle. Our room was top notch with living room, bar area and separate bedroom. We loved it! The staff was efficient, polite and very professional. the location was perfect, just a walk down the hill to the famous Dogo onsen shopping arcade and train to castle. there wasn't anything that we did not like.
- Tamlyn (9/5): Perfect location, service and authentic ryokan experience - Great onsen; very close to the Dogo and the restaurants nearby; fabulous location near Glass Museum. Great room with balcony A little old fashioned; a conference feel to the hotel rather than leisure travelers but we enjoyed the location and onsen
- Peter (9/5): Authentiek Japans Onsen hotel. - De service was geweldig, aardig, attent en beleefd. Het ontbijt was ook heerlijk, we hadden aangegeven dat we vegetariër zijn en daar werd zeer goed rekening mee gehouden, prachtig en heerlijk eten bij het ontbijt. Gebouw kan een beetje gedateerd overkomen, maar dat is ook de Japanse stijl voor dit soort hotels.
- Jianmin (9/5): -
- Masayuki (9/5): -
- Kathy (9/5): - 非常貼心的傳統日式旅館, 所有細微的需求都設想到了 房間寛敞, futon超級舒服! 足湯設在日式庭園中, 旁邊有小溪流過, 整體給人很療癒的感覺 餐點偏向傳統日式, 冷菜居多, 較不適合我們的飲食習慣(但還有西式可選) 足湯只開放下午到晚上, 對住客來說有點可惜, 無法在一早悠閒享受庭園景色和足湯
- Yin Yu (7/5): happy and relax - the springs are good, room is very big and clean, food is very nice, staff are very helpful and nice. very convenient to nearby shopping area and springs it is quite old, and located on the hill side, not far away from station but you need some effort to carry the luggage walking up the hill. there are some stairs to room , but staff are helpful to carry our luggages.
- EUNYOUNG (10/5): -
- Tze Yong (8/5): Comfortable, Classy Ryokan with a lacklustre in house onsen - I got it at a discounted fare. Or else it wont meet my expectations of a top class ryokan. The facilities other than the onsen itself looked high class (with own garden and footbath, and worthy of the 4-5 stars rating. Breakfast was good. the inhouse onsen itself is underwhelming. Small, no good scene to take in, and the water itself feel not onseny
- Wai Wan (9/5): -
- カズ (10/5): - 仲居さんが親切最高！食事も部屋も最高でした。 ありません。
- Junya (9/5): -
- Kristina (9/5): -
- dongsung (9/5): - 친절한 응대와 발렛파킹 오랜 역사의 료칸 지역의 재료로 맛있는 음식 무엇보다 가성비 코스파 최고인 료칸 입니다. 깨끗하고 친절하고 맛있습니다. 시내 인접의 료칸이라 접근성은 좋지만 노천탕에서 들리는 자동차 소리와 오토바이 소리가 아쉬웠습니다. 그러나 강추 료칸 입니다.
- Hitomi (10/5): -
- ススム (10/5): 満足 - 風呂 特に無し
- Shigemori (9/5): -
- CHINGFANG (9/5): 體驗很不錯。很好的位置。早晚餐都很美味 - 餐點非常棒！ 距離道後溫泉商店街步行5分鐘，超讚 房間比較舊
- 友里 (10/5): -
- Yipei (10/5): 無微不至的服務、美味的餐點、舒服的溫泉 - 無微不至的服務 沒有，都很棒
- 久保 (9/5): - 落ち着きのあるお部屋でとても清潔です。 トイレ、洗面もきれいでアメニティも揃ってます。お風呂は御影石の浴場と、檜風呂の浴場があり一階の庭も風情がありステキでした 朝食のみのプランで泊まりましたが、和食、洋食を選べて和食にしましたが、またこれも最高でした。種類が多く少量美味が良かったです 特にないです
- ASANO (9/5): -
- Hiroshi (8/5): -
- Mary (10/5): Cool zen even in hot weather - The calm atmosphere, courteous staff, beautiful gardens, delicious breakfast. The heatwave! But air conditioning was very effective

- Masaji (8/5): -
- SONOE (10/5): -
- Katsura (8/5): やや高かったが、また行きたいです。 - 和食とフレンチを各自選択できるようになっていました。どちらも美味しく、繊細なお料理で、最高でした。 ルームキーが人数分なかったため、各自で好きなように行動することが難しかった。
- Anders (9/5): - The reception staff was extraordinary helpful to arrange a round of golf on a wonderful course. And they also brought breakfast to the room when our son was not feeling right and had to stay in the room.
- Hugo (9/5): Superb -
- Sandra (5/5): Underwhelming - The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was spacious and had beautiful views. They advertised the restaurant as a top dining establishment in Matsuyama so we didn't hesitate to pay for a very expensive meal. However we found the food to be the worst we had in all of Japan. We prepaid for our dinner so we were very disappointed with the quality, taste and ambiance of the restaurant. The breakfast wasn't much better
- Lavanga (8/5): Very good - Excellent breakfast. Great facilities. Wonderful staff!
- Eric (10/5): Next to Dogo, experienced and friendly staff, dinner and breakfast was excellent! -
- Takaki (9/5): Would like to comeback - Loved the Japanese style room , it has an outdoor mini garden & wood bathtub. If you want to connect in nature in the premises of the hotel, you could just be lazy by the garden on their tiny cottages watch and listen to flowing water from the mountains. It would be very convenient if food could be served in the room. I have a baby and 2 toddlers that’s why. Anyways food is great!
- Michelle (7/5): Do not recommend - Location and the garden The suite we had was huge but poorly laid out with a lot of unusable space. Also, very dated and run down and poorly maintained. Way over priced.
- Tong (10/5): Exceptional - Very thoughtful and gentle service. Makes the travel experience fantastic. Keep going！
- Kun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jt (6/5): A little lacking for the price point - Spacious room. During meals, English menu was provided and also staff made an effort to let us know what is the food we are having in English. Helped to park the car. Helped moved the luggage upstairs and showed us to the room. Allowed us to park the car a little longer until 12pm while we went to the Shinto shrine nearby and did a bit of last minute shopping. The breakfast and dinner is mediocre at best for the price. I travelled around Chugoku and Shikoku on this trip and other ryokan (which is also cheaper) served more exquisite kaiseki and in larger portions. I expected a little more at this price point. We also had to pay for coffee (even thought they didn’t charge for 1 refill). It was really quite cold when we were there but there wasn’t a thicker jacket to go with the yukata for outdoors.
- Jeremy (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely part-tatami room in a ryokan in the Dogo Onsen area of Matsuyama. The location is great with the Dogo Onsen Honkan, shopping area and tram stop all within 5 minutes' walk. There is also easy access by tram to sights and restaurants in central Matsuyama, as well as Matsuyama Station. Breakfast was great, the onsen and garden were nice for relaxing and the staff were helpful. Everything was great.
- Karen (8/5): Very good - We enjoyed our stay here , good location , friendly staff and the rooms were lovely
- Henri (10/5): Tradition with comfort and style. Pure excellence - An exceptional traditional Japanese experience without dated furniture and shared bathroom. We understand why Japanese royalty stays here because that is how we felt. Exceptional Nothing. Exceptional experience
- Cheng (5/5): The location is good but the room Onsen water was too cold . The hotel should heat up the room Onsen - We booked to stay for three nights . The breakfast was not to my liking For three nights stay the hotel should vary the variety of foods
- Jasmine (10/5): We love everything abt the hotel, the team parking our car, the front office, the room, the food served, etc. - Wonderful & pleasant staff. Loved their service & bkfast & dinner. Thanks for serving us our French dinner even when we r an hour late. Slippers for onsen. Painful.. Has to check out at 10am!
- Anita (9/5): Great place from which to enjoy the Dogo Onsen experience - Classic japanese breakfast, completely met expectations All was good, would prefer meals served in room but this is getting much more rate these days.
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cx. (10/5): Exceptional - I would rate Funaya an 11 if I could. I have stayed in some nice onsen ryokans before but this place is next level in every aspect. Everything about my stay here made me say "wow". The visual aesthetic and atmosphere of the building is super charming, a bit dated some might say but to me it just spoke to the long history of the place. The staff are friendly, helpful, and the service was impeccable. I found that their manner was a little more human than other high end ryokans I've stayed at where the staff can be a bit robotic sticking to their script all the time. Our room was massive, literally the biggest ryokan room I've ever seen. 12 tatami mats for the main room, another 8 off to the side in another room - plus the sitting alcove by the window, meditation/writing room, not to mention the bathroom with double sink, separate adjoining washroom with wooden Japanese bathtub, a separate toilet, and a substantial hallway linking it all up. Oh, that was just the "standard Japanese style room" too. We also had a nice little balcony with a view of the garden and the castle in the distance. The garden is a real highlight, beautiful, tranquil, there's even a foot bath. I really wish we'd been able to spend more time in it but it rained the day we were there. Meals were fantastic. Set kaiseki for dinner, which I don't normally like, but my partner and I just swapped things we didn't like and we were able to really enjoy it. Breakfast we had the choice of western or Japanese style - we had one of each and both were great. Nice not to have to deal with cold food at the buffet for a change. The actual baths are top notch, probably equal best I've used. Lots of space to wash, a couple of separate baths for soaking, and outdoor baths as well to cool off on the night air. Water temperature was perfect. We were able to leave our car with them for a bit after checking out to go for one last wander in Dogo. It's a little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.... I guess I didn't like that I couldn't afford to stay more nights here.
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - Both the Japanese as well as the western style breakfast were very good! The atmosphere in a Ryokan was agreat experience, and the Onsen was another highlight.
- 桑港旅人 (9/5): Superb - Attentive staff, excellent service and food. Public baths were large and well-maintained. Parking fee.
- Boon (8/5): Very good - Stayed there before. Easy access. Charged for car parking.
