Old England Dogo Yamanote Hotel

An outdoor terrace cafe; a lobby decorated in old-world style with wainscoting, chandeliers, and antique-filled cabinets; and classical music playing in the background transport a touch of England to the heart of Dogo Onsen. A sign outside declaring SINCE 1886 refers to a ryokan that once stood here, but the owner tore it down and opened this hotel in 2003. Still, this is a classy choice if you prefer a bed to a futon, with rooms sporting brocade bedspreads and curtains, wood floors, and roomy bathrooms (but note that the cheapest doubles are with semi-double-size beds). Although most people staying here pay rates that include meals in the hotel's good French restaurant, my rates below are for rooms only. The hotel doesn't offer much in the way of services, but it does have both indoor and outdoor public baths.

Facilities:
Restaurant; coffee shop; indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths
