Jet BathAbout
Dogo Prince Hotel runs a full bathhouse alongside its rooms and restaurant. The indoor bath, Yunoka (ゆのか), was renovated in 2020 and combines a sauna and a steam sauna with jet, bubble and silk baths. The open-air bath, Yunone (ゆのね), splits into two sides with eight tubs in total, swapping between men and women on a morning and evening schedule. A separate set of private open-air baths, Yuraku (ゆらく), can be booked for day use at the front desk on arrival, with no advance reservation. Elsewhere in the hotel there's a foot and hand bath near the lobby, and a manga corner where you sit on heated stone benches and read while staying warm. Some rooms in the newer wing come with their own terrace bath, piped straight from the Dogo spring. It's a big, family-oriented hotel built for a busy Dogo Onsen crowd rather than a quiet hideaway.
