Cinnamon Guest House Dogo, situated a mere two-minute walk from the historic Dogo Onsen (Hot Spring House), opened its doors in the fall of 2015. This guesthouse, rejuvenated from a 50-year-old dilapidated building, offers a unique and cozy lodging experience that blends the traditional charm of its locale with the laid-back vibe reminiscent of a Southern European hostel. The transformation of the space was spearheaded by a gold medalist from the British Royal Horticultural Society’s gardening show, ensuring guests enjoy a thoughtfully designed and relaxing environment. The guesthouse is named “Cinnamon” in honor of a beloved dog that was cherished by its owner and whose memory continues to inspire the warm hospitality extended to guests.
Cinnamon Guest House Dogo not only boasts a strategic location close to one of Japan’s oldest hot springs but also features the distinct amenity of housing Dogo’s only bar within a hostel setting. This provides guests with a unique opportunity to unwind and socialize in a warm, stylish atmosphere. The guest house ensures a comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable stay with services facilitated by English-speaking staff, making it a welcoming haven for international travelers. Whether guests are in Dogo to experience its famed hot springs, explore the traditional town, or simply relax in a friendly environment, Cinnamon Guest House Dogo offers an accessible and inviting base for all kinds of visitors.
