``CHAHARU Dogo Yumezo'' is a luxurious ryokan with only 7 rooms. We are also particular about our worldview, incorporating Ehime's traditional crafts to express the four seasons and nature. Each of the seven rooms has a different concept, so you'll have a hard time deciding where to stay. ``Yumean'' is a treasure box-like space that is a collaboration of Uchiko-cho's Isozaki washi, Iyo Kasuri, Kikuma tiles, and Iyo's traditional crafts.
