Livemax Resort Okudogo

In Matsuyama, just off the Ishite River and a short drive from Dogo Onsen and Matsuyama Castle. The ryokan sits near Lake Ishitegawa Dam and Ishite Temple, about 6 km from the city center. A pet-friendly, family-friendly base for exploring western Ehime.

This compact ryokan keeps things simple and stylish. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms include bidets and complimentary toiletries, with tubs or showers depending on the room. Expect hot-springs access, a massage room, karaoke and an arcade-style game area for playful downtime. An elevator and daily housekeeping keep stays easy.

Soak in hot springs, book a massage, then challenge friends to karaoke. Kids have a playroom, and pets are welcome. Free Wi-Fi covers the property and free self-parking is onsite. There’s a restaurant on-site and facilities like laundry and lockers for convenience—wake up to river-side mornings and local sights a short stroll away.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. Free self parking, a safe-deposit box at the front desk, lockers and a shared microwave add practical touches for work or longer stays. Front desk service is available during limited hours.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors and you can grab a Japanese breakfast daily (available 7:00–9:00 AM for a fee). Simple, regional dishes anchor the menu for relaxed mornings before heading out to explore.
