Dogo Onsen Dogo Grand Hotel
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.22 out of 5 (2,957 reviews). Guests praise the taimeshi (sea bream rice) at dinner - with reports of a child going back for four helpings - and many are satisfied with both the flavor and the portions. Reviews also frequently note how thoroughly the rooms and communal bath are cleaned. On the other hand, some guests report that no slippers were provided, only setta sandals, which was awkward for barefoot use, so bringing your own footwear is reassuring.
