Dogo Onsen
One of the major attractions of Matsuyama is going to be Dogo Onsen. With a history that spans hundreds of years, the building is going to need renovations every now and then. The main building is still open for bathing but the other rooms are closed. There is also 'Asuka no Yu' which is quite beautiful as well.
Next stop, Matsuyama
Matsuyama was the next stop on this trip in 2022. It is one of the four Prefectures in Shikoku which is the smallest of the four main islands of Japan. I wanted to go Matsuyama because I wanted to see Dogo Onsen and also Matsuyama Castle. Later, I found out that there is an overnight passenger ferry service to Osaka which sounded intriguing and thought it would be a fun experience.
