Lot of arts and cultural displays with delicious Udon nearby (Free parking for the shrine)
Reviewed By psprofThis was a nice hotel experience for us and the price was relatively good for a ryokan. We actually got an option without the in-room meal, which we really enjoyed because of the nearby udon and freedom it gives us. the fact that they provide such an option is really a good quality of the hotel. The room was clean and the bath was quite nice. They change the baths in the morning so it is possible to experience both types of baths. One bath has a "warm" sauna rather than hot and the other bath has several different varieties of herbal baths. Walking around you can find a lot of different kinds of art and pottery, some of it very large and nice. We noticed a lot of people just ignoring all this, so it is worth stopping and taking a look around if you go to the hotel. They also had a robot in the lobby for the kids to play with. The room came with quite a few sweets and complimentary tea. More sweets than I am used to receiving in hotels, even in Japan. It also came with all the usual amenities. The staff were fine and accommodating. we had no issues. Parking was also free if you stay the night, which is much cheaper than the 1000 yen charged for people just visiting the shrine nearby.

Good mix of Japanese and Western
Reviewed By Marjo1187The visit started with a disappointment, the main reason for selecting this hotel was the rooms with a balcony facing the garden. When we arrived we did get a room with a balcony, however facing the busy road next to the garden. When complaining we got moved one room closer to the garden, with a view of the garden but still could hear and see the road. The room is a combination of western, beds, and Japanese, the tatami sitting area. Quite spacious, good size bathroom and seperate toilet. Breakfast has choice of Japanese or western, both come as a set menu, which were good. One night we opted for the japanes kaiseki diner, an elaborate selection of japanese dishes. Very good quality, which comes at a price. Service is top notch. Location is just around the corner from the onsen, and there is a tram stop close by.

Open onsen
Reviewed By Robert INice, clean, relaxing hotel right across Dogo Onsen and shopping area. Great location. Onsen on roof was great place to relax, both day and night. Rooms were average size but very comfortable and food in restaurant was outstanding. Loved the specialty onigiri. Wrapped and ready to go.
4. Koubaitei
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 215 reviews
Koubaitei of Kagawa Prefecture is located on Monzen Machi town under the Konpira Shrine. We have our own hot spring water source, and the Original Onsen hotspring water source from the Onsen Village and of course we have 6 rooms with private open air hot spring cabins.
Elegant and Friendly Japanese-Style Hotel
Reviewed By NaMakaniThe Koubaitei is an upscale Japanese-style hotel with an emphasis on service and comfort. My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in mid-May, ‘18 on a small group tour composed of mostly British and Americans. Of the hotels we stayed in during our month-long visit to Japan, this was one of our favorites and we strongly recommend it if you are looking for a taste of Japanese hospitality at its finest, and you are ok with not being able to speak Japanese. Although some of the staff speak a small amount of English and westerners are warmly welcomed, this is most definitely a Japanese hotel – there is no English on the outside of the building and very little elsewhere. That aside, the staff were very friendly and attentive, obviously determined to make your stay pleasant. The Koubaitai is an easy walk from the JR station, though as part of its high level of service the hotel sent a small coach for our group and our luggage. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk to the main old-town approach to the Konpira-san temple, where there are a number of restaurants and shops. The lobby area is a stunning, high-ceiling open area with a wall of glass looking into a beautiful garden, and lots of comfortable places to sit and talk. Our room (907) was one of the largest we had during our month-long visit to Japan. It was attractive and well appointed, with the usual central table, a side table, and a mini-bar with tea-making facilities. Being in the Japanese style, the beds were futons placed on the room’s tatami mats while we were at dinner. They were fairly comfortable, even the firm rice-hull pillows. The bathroom was good-sized and attractive, with a separate rooms for the vanity, shower/tub (Onsen-style), and the usual Japanese starship captain’s chair toilet. The hotel baths were downstairs on the ground floor and were beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor pools. We had two excellent banquet-style meals during our stay, but since these were served to our group in a private room we can’t comment on the restaurant ala carte menu. The breakfast buffet was served in the restaurant, with two serving areas featuring a wide array of Japanese and western dishes. Everything we had was very good. The restaurant setting was off the lobby and was very pleasant. The Koubaitei is an excellent hotel and we don’t hesitate to recommend it. We stayed as part of a group, but we wouldn’t hesitate to return here as a couple.

Ryokan
Mr. Ng
Reviewed By DisignasIt was my first time travel to Dogo, although I visited Japan more than 30 times. I reserved a non-smoking room at Dogokan for 3 days in Nov, 2019. On the evening of the second day, I smelt secondhand smoke, I asked the reception is it a NON-Smoking floor, they said IT IS a SMOKING floor, but MY ROOM is NON-smoking. I asked if they have non-smoking floor, they said yes. They did nothing to solve this issue, and I suffered secondhand smoke for more than 12 hours. I think it is ridiculous in Japan, not a "Japanese service" anymore.

Never stay again
Reviewed By cp9a航空券とのお安めのパッケージで利用しましたが、バスタブに髪の毛、バスルーム天井カビ、シャワーカーテンにもカビ。ベッドのヘッドボードには綿ぼこり蓄積。他の好意的なレビューが信じられない。 部屋のグレードによって清掃にも差をつけているのでしょうか？ 節約した自分が悪かったのかもしれませんが、今後滞在することはないですね。 Just stayed one night. In-room bathroom was in terrible condition. Bed was also dusty. Far below average. Avoid!

The only hotel enjoying【a hot rock sauna】in Dogoonsen :) "Enjoying 【a hot rock sauna】 with relaxation!", a women and a man regardless of age or sex.The hot spring to enable taking a bath until 25 o'clock drawn from Dogo Onsen Main build.
Not bad hotel can enjoy the hot springs enough
Reviewed By MrJackFrost道後温泉駅から徒歩５分程度の距離にあり、建物は若干年季が入っているが、一部リノベーションが入っており気にはならない程度。 部屋は和室で広く、昔の日本のホテルといった印象。大浴場は広く、コロナの影響か入浴している宿泊客がいなくて独り占めできた。朝食も松山特産の料理も使われ、かなり満足。 It is about a 5-minute walk from Dogo Onsen Station, and the building is a little old, but it has been partially renovated so it doesn't matter. The room is Japanese-style and spacious, giving the impression of an old Japanese hotel style. The large communal bath was large, and I was able to monopolize it because there were no guests taking a bath due to the influence of the corona, perhaps. Breakfast is Matsuyama's specialty dishes are used, and I am quite satisfied.

Wonderful stay and love the in-room onsen
Reviewed By LunasolhkWe stayed for a night and dinner in here and love it totally. The location is great, just a few mins walk from the Dogo Onsen, Dogo Station and the nearby shopping area/restaurants. They also offer onsite parking. Staff are friendly and speak okay English and fluent mandarin. They do not have a lot of rooms but every room is very spacious and all rooms have in-room onsen. The dinner is very delicious too. Although it's a bit pricey, we really enjoy our stay.

Refurbished rooms and good onsen
Reviewed By aichiiThis is one of the nicer Yukai resort properties. There is a shuttle service every 30 minutes from in front of the Dogo Onsen station (behind the taxis) and it also stops at the side of the Dogo Onsen Honkan building. Staff were very friendly.Room was recently refurbished with a mirrored bamboo feature to make the room seem much larger (and make up for the lack of a proper window which is fine for a one night stay if you are not claustrophobic!) The indoor hot spring baths was large and clean and there was also a small outside bath and sauna which were very nice.The baths were available until 11am. The selection of food was good and the staff even put on a mochi making demonstration to introduce local foods.Also the English signage in the restaurant was much better than in other Yukai resort properties I have stayed in the past. All in all great value for money as always.Ask for a room with a full window and a view.
