About Dormy Inn
Dormy Inn (operated by Kyoritsu Maintenance) is known for: (1) in-house large communal baths — including natural onsen at many properties; (2) the free "yonaki soba" (late-night ramen) service; (3) regional breakfast specialities. Popular with both business travellers and tourists.
How to book a smoking room
(1) Book on Dormy Inn official (https://www.hotespa.net/dormyinn/). (2) On the room type screen, select "smoking room". (3) Confirm in the booking confirmation email. (4) Re-confirm at front-desk check-in: "I booked a smoking room".
Onsen / public bath interaction
The onsen / public bath, the changing area, and the sauna are all non-smoking under both the revised Health Promotion Act and the chain's own rules. After bathing, smoke in your guest room (if a smoking room) or at outdoor designated spots only. Smoking inside the changing room, sauna, or bath itself causes serious complaints from other guests and can lead to ejection.
The 2020 revised Health Promotion Act
Under the Act (MHLW: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/seisakunitsuite/bunya/0000189195.html), hotel guest rooms are outside the general indoor ban, but common areas (lobby, corridors, restaurants, onsen) are non-smoking indoors. Dormy Inn follows this standard.
Heated-tobacco-only rooms
Some Dormy Inn properties may offer heated-tobacco-only rooms (IQOS / glo / Ploom). Check the room type selection at booking.
Penalty for smoking in a non-smoking room
A cleaning fee (commonly JPY 20,000–50,000) will be charged under the accommodation contract. Smoking in the bath / changing area can lead to ejection.
