2. City center or Dogo: how do we get there and park?
Depends on the provider
ANA Crowne Plaza is in the city center near Matsuyama Castle hill, while Dogo Yamanote Hotel is a 5-minute walk from Dogo Onsen Station and has no shuttle.

Restaurant guests park free for 2 hours, and the hotel says to get approval at the restaurant’s reception or cashier. After that, the standard rate is ¥500 for the first hour and ¥250 per 30 minutes. If the car park is full, the hotel directs you to a contracted lot, Flower Parking Nibancho, which also gives restaurant guests 2 hours free.
Dogo Yamanote Hotel’s access page says parking is available and costs ¥800 per night for staying guests. It does not say how parking works for restaurant guests. Ask by phone before you drive.

The hotel’s Western-style rooms (Wedgwood for 16, Royal Doulton and Minton for 12 each) are listed as banquet and meeting rooms, not restaurant private rooms. They cost ¥7,260 per hour (¥8,470 on weekends and national holidays).
