A business hotel where you can totonou with an observation open-air bath overlooking Matsuyama Castle and the famous waters of Okudogo
A business hotel located in the castle town below Matsuyama Castle, where guests can enjoy hot spring water brought in from Okudogo Onsen. On the top 10th floor, there is an open-air observation bath with sweeping views of Matsuyama City, where you can refresh yourself with a pleasant outdoor air bath. The 3rd-floor large public bath is equipped with a stone bath for men and a cypress bath for women, and each floor also has a sauna and a cold plunge bath. With homemade breakfast buffets and a manga library, this inn is attractive as a base for business or sightseeing thanks to its well-rounded facilities and warm hospitality.
A natural hot spring using hot spring water brought in from Okudogo Onsen. Its soft texture, characteristic of a simple alkaline spring, gently smooths the skin. In the top-floor observation open-air bath, you can enjoy bathing while taking in the scenery of Matsuyama City. You can also fully enjoy this famous spring in baths with different atmospheres, such as the indoor stone bath and cypress bath.
A dry sauna installed in the large public bath on each floor. The setting lets you feel the heat clearly and encourages a comfortable sweat. From the top-floor sauna, access to the outdoor air bath space is easy, allowing you to cool down while feeling the Matsuyama breeze. In this calm space, you can slowly ease away the fatigue of your journey.
A crisp, cold plunge bath that is perfect after the sauna. You can add fresh water from the tap, letting you cool down at your preferred level of coldness. Though the tub is compact, it cools your body thoroughly, and alternating between hot and cold bathing with the sauna helps refresh both body and mind.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
