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!

会社の友人たちと素泊まり（朝食付）で利用させていただきました。道後温泉の近くにあるため、とても便利でした。朝食は、洋食（オムレツやエッグベネディクトなど）、和食（おぼろ豆腐、しらすなど）などメニューも多く、大満足でした。唯一の不満は、部屋のテレビが途中でつかなくなったことです。
