Yamatoya Honten Ashiyu Cafe "Futohoto"
A collaboration between a long-established ryokan and a popular café, offering a unique combination of "foot bath" and "café."
Opened in 2021, this unique foot bath café is a collaboration between the long-established ryokan Yamatoya Honten, founded in 1868 (Keio 4), and the popular café Dogo no Machiya, located on Dogo Haikara Street. At this café, you can enjoy drinks and sweets while soaking your feet in a foot bath.
The café is located within the premises of Yamatoya Honten. Upon entering through a dedicated entrance, you first place your order (one order per person is required). After payment, you receive a "Yukago" (bath basket) containing a towel and disinfectant spray. Seating is divided into six sections, all equipped with foot baths. The café is outdoors but covered, allowing you to enjoy the view while savoring drinks like Ehime citrus juice and sweets like cheesecake.
Conveniently located right next to the Dogo Onsen Honkan, this café is perfect for a relaxing break during your visit to Dogo Onsen. Rest your tired feet in the foot bath while enjoying some café time.
