Good location near the Dogo Onsen Main Building and the onsen streets. The room is very basic and quite small. There was only one pillow provided and there were no extra blankets. There are three onsens in total; one indoor and two outdoor ones. The best part of my stay was the dinner which was sumptuous. It costs 10000 yen per head and has to be ordered in advance of check in.

It was the best decision I made to choose this hotel! 1min walk to Dogo Onsen, amazing services, a beautiful traditional-inn-look with a modern twist and the Dogo Street just 2 mins and the tram station within 5min walk. Incredible breakfast buffet and Roten-buro. The massage chair in the room!! Couldn't have asked for more!

Had an amazing stay at Yamatoya Honten. The onsen was beautiful and really relaxing. One of the highlights was the all-you-can-drink bar right outside the onsen, such a unique touch that I haven’t seen anywhere else! The staff were fantastic, super friendly, and always happy to help. Would definitely recommend it!

Due to heavy snow and unpredictable weather, our flight got cancelled last minute. There was no way to get there for the scheduled date. We booked not only our room but also dinner and breakfast in advance. The hotel denied our request to modify the schedule and charged us fully, which was about US$1000.
