Great location, one of the closest hotels to Dogo Onsen. The staff are very friendly and professional, the onsite restaurant served a fusion ( French and Japanese) dinner and a buffet breakfast. We (a family with 1 adult daughter ) enjoyed the 2 night stay at this hotel, I highly recommend Chaharu ！

Best hotel in Dogo

The dinner is absolutely amazing.. it’s like a 9 course meal and every dish is good. The room is clean, service is prompt, location is convenient. Lastly, the outdoor onsen is also an attraction on its own!

まず最初に、接客して頂いた全ての従業員さんたちがとても優しくてとても素晴らしい。 お部屋の掃除が隅々まで行き届いて気持ち良かった。 さらに寝具や浴衣さらにカップなどお部屋のすべてのアイテムも清潔感がありました。 夕食付きの予約は空きがなかったので朝食のビュッフェみしかわかりませんが、オムレツはもちろん、エッグベネディクトが絶妙のとろけ具合でめちゃくちゃおいしかったです。コーンスープは濃厚でシェフは結構こだわりがある人なのかもしれません。

도고온천의 호텔과 료칸의 중간정도 형태로 다다미방과 노천을 이용할 수 있는 메리트가 가격 대비 훌륭한 곳이라고 생각합니다. 위치 자체도 도고온천 본관 바로 뒷쪽으로 상점가와 아주 가깝고, 다만 주변에 별로 할 것이 없다는게 단점입니다. 전반적으로 만족도는 높았습니다.
