Experience of the stay
The accommodation for the third day of the Shikoku tour was Yamato-ya Honten, located in Dogo Onsen, Ehime Prefecture.
Elementary students 1 night with breakfast: 8,575 yen × 2 = 17,150 yen
Adult breakfast buffet: 3,300 yen × 2 = 6,600 yen
Parking fee: 800 yen
Total additional charges paid.
In the lobby, there was a tap that dispensed orange juice that my son had longed for!
(This was the purpose of this trip.)
We were all thrilled to see the orange juice flowing from the tap, shouting "Wow!" in excitement.
The hotel’s hot spring was very relaxing and eased our travel fatigue.
Especially delightful were the Japanese sake bar and candy bar located in front of the bathhouse!
Adults enjoyed a drink after the bath, while kids chose snacks to take to their rooms and enjoyed them.
For breakfast, there was a variety of dishes including fresh sashimi, a tasting of orange juice, and Sanuki udon which made us feel happy right from the morning.
We could also take commemorative photos on an actual Noh stage, making it a wonderful inn with a great atmosphere!
