Experience of the stay
Perfect for strolling around Dogo Onsen. It's a retro and classic atmosphere accommodation.
- You can enjoy enough in the hot spring within the inn, but they lend you a 'yukago' (basket for carrying hot spring towels) for strolling around. Carrying the yukago, you can visit different hot springs, climb the long steps to Yu-jinja Shrine, or casually stop by a café to enjoy Dogo Beer, which was fantastic.
- When I went, there was a sake bar and a traditional candy bar.
- The single room was a simple Western-style room, adequate and satisfying. I was pleasantly surprised that the coffee was local coffee!
- I booked through HAFH and had a no breakfast plan, but there are cafés that open early around, so I wasn't worried about breakfast. "Shirasagi Coffee" in front of Dogo Onsen Station was lovely and delicious, and the Starbucks inside the station building matched the town's atmosphere very well. Walking through Dogo Onsen’s shopping street early in the morning was refreshing.
Experiences during the trip
Strolling around Dogo Onsen is simply the best.
I also did some sightseeing in Matsuyama city. The atmosphere of the castle town is wonderful. There are historical sites and museums that let you feel the lives of historical figures such as the Akiyama brothers, Masaoka Shiki, and Natsume Soseki.
This was my second trip to Matsuyama, and personally, I love Matsuyama the most among all towns in Japan.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
