SUMiTAS STAY Dogo Koen 2F, a new private-stay accommodation, is scheduled to open in October 2026 in the Dogo Onsen area of Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. It is operated by 株式会社アート不動産, a real estate company based in Matsuyama.
The defining feature of the new floor is its Japanese-modern design, with tatami flooring in every room and a tsuboniwa (small courtyard garden) touch. It offers domestic and international travelers a refined stay with the warmth of traditional Japanese style.
Background to the New Floor
The operator's private-stay accommodations in the Dogo area, designed with a strong sense of privacy, are used by a wide range of guests, including families, groups, and international visitors, who make up about 50% of all guests.
Guests have often asked for a space where they can relax while enjoying the atmosphere unique to Japan. The new floor was planned to answer that request, combining the convenience and privacy of a conventional private stay with traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern comfort.
Three Features of SUMiTAS STAY Dogo Koen 2F
1. A Japanese-Modern Space With Tatami Throughout and a Tsuboniwa-Style Corner
Every room is finished with tatami flooring that feels good underfoot. In one corner of the interior, a tsuboniwa-style space decorated with white pebbles lets guests feel the quiet charm of Japan without leaving the room. After a round of hot spring hopping in Dogo Onsen, guests can spend private time in a calm, Japanese-style setting.
2. Refined Interior With Yogibo
Alongside carefully selected simple and functional furniture and appliances, a Yogibo, the sofa that gently wraps around the body, is installed. Guests can sink into the Yogibo on the tatami floor and ease the fatigue of travel.
3. One Household Per Floor for a Fully Private Stay
The floor is designed as a fully private space with one household per floor, so guests have no contact with other guests. Even large groups and families with small children can stay comfortably, as if at home, without worrying about those around them.
Looking Ahead
The stay brings together the scent of tatami, the atmosphere of the in-room tsuboniwa-style space, a refined interior, and the comfort of Yogibo, offering guests an unforgettable way of living in Dogo. The operator also says it plans to contribute to tourism promotion and the revitalization of the local community in the Ehime and Matsuyama area through its accommodation business.
