A nice “Ryokan” that is more of a hotel with trappings of a Ryokan. There are two Onsens that alternate between men and women (2F is bigger and better). Breakfast and dinner was good.
The staff went beyond my expectations helping us settle in. The Japanese style room was very spacious and had lots of conveniences, and the public baths on premises were absolutely fantastic.
Great friendly staff that when out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Definitely a good place if you enjoy onsen. They also have a lovely garden to explore.
Excellent prime hotel in the area. Friendly and hopeful staffs, high quality of service, fascinating breakfast, and dinner options.
Appreciate for all the hospitalities!
This long-established hot spring inn, located near the Dogo Onsen area in Matsuyama, offers an authentic Japanese lodging experience with a beautiful garden, excellent hospitality, spotless cleanliness, and exceptionally comfortable beds.
one of the best onsen hotel in Dogo area, very good location (near the tram station), good room space with traditional japanese style, good service and tasty meals, onsen (bath) place is wonderful
The staff were all amazing and we had booked a traditional room - upgraded to an Onsen bathroom. It was a shame we only had one night as we arrived at 7pm and had to rush to dinner as last sitting was 7.30pm. Our futons were the most comfortable beds we slept in for our entire trip to Japan. Matsuyama was a lovey city, I wish we had had more time
Dogo Onsen Funaya Was a wonderful place to stay. Great staff at the hotel to assist you in any way. Excellent onsen on the grounds, which includes a sauna. Close to shopping, restaurants, and a public onsen. Our family had a great time!
It was just like I imagined as the room, Kaiseki dinner & breakfast, and most importantly Onsen itself were just awesome. 4 of us, my mom, wife and daughter just simply amazed and enjoyed light walk to original Dogo Onsen which known to be the inspiration for animation Sen to Chihiro and cute Clock tower show.

Its a good and decent hotel but I think my expectation was too high. If you like history, this hotel is a good fit.
The Japanese style room is as close to a ryokan stay as you can get. Try the Japanese breakfast - both the Japanese and western breakfast was plentiful, nutritious and tasty. Staff service, friendliness and attentiveness was impeccable. We truly enjoyed our stay. Around the corner to the Dogo Onsen (historic onsen that recently
reopened) although we didn’t visit, seeing the building (at night) is impressive. We can to visit the shrines and do a tiny Henro - this is walkable to the Ishitige Shrine and others close by. Wonderful stay - and getting a room with the in room onsen was very a nice indulgence.
Our 5-night stay at Dogo Onsen Funaya was nice and comfortable. The staff was extremely courteous and professional. Our suite was nice, clean and comfortable. The public bath was well maintained, clean and enjoyable. The Japanese and Western style breakfasts were delicious; however, the service was sometimes slow and lacked server attention to details ( i.e. drink refills and removal of empty dishes). Otherwise, the overall experience at Dogo Onsen Funaya is excellent. I would recommend Dogo Onsen Funaya to my friends and look forward to staying here in the future.
We stayed in a traditional Japanese room which we enjoyed very much. It was very spacious and the futon were very comfortable to sleep on. We wore the provided yukata and found the to be very comfortable to wear.
