Dogo Onsen Funaya

Funaya is in close proximity of Dogo Onsen. It has a nice garden accessible from the hotel and through the exit gate one can go to Dogo Park. The twin room with tatami area was very spacious and a simply furnished balcony.

It was a little expensive.

It is a beautiful property with onsen and a garden. The emperor has stayed here on the past. The room was just lovely with a separate living area from the bedroom and a huge bathroom. Lots of amenities. It is very close to Dogo onsen. The staff were so kind and helpful in finding what we needed.

Can’t think of a thing!

Rooms are very large: more a suite. Wonderful onsen: wooden stools and bowls, no plastic here. Wonderful indoor and outdoor pools. Very helpful pleasant staff. Footbath in garden is gorgeous. On main tram routes and next to the Dogo Onsen so easy to get around town. Luxurious, sparkling clean and comfortable.

I do not like having to say the night before when I shall want breakfast (or, come to that, what I shall want): makes me feel part of a tour rather than an independent traveller. A very minor niggle. I think they have a fair number of groups so perhaps set up to cater for them. Friend in Western-style room said it could do with sprucing up a bit and was not as shiny as our Japanese style room.
