A Relaxing Day Around Dogo Onsen 🛁✨

#cityplaybook Step into the timeless charm of Dogo Onsen, one of Japan’s oldest and most iconic hot springs, nestled in the heart of Matsuyama, Ehime. Surrounded by retro streets and historical landmarks, this area is perfect for a slow and scenic stroll. 🚃 Bocchan Train A nostalgic steam-style train that chugs through the city—named after Natsume Soseki’s famous novel Bocchan. It’s a must-see (and ride!) when visiting Dogo. 🏛 Bocchan Train Museum Get a closer look at the train’s history, enjoy train-themed interiors, and grab a coffee or snack while you’re at it. ⛩ Yuzan Shrine A peaceful hilltop shrine overlooking Dogo. A great spot to take a break and soak in the atmosphere (and views!). Why I recommend this area: ・Perfect for a nostalgic stroll filled with history and local charm ・Great mix of cultural spots and scenic relaxation 📍Dogo Onsen Area, Matsuyama City, Ehime #dogoonsen #bocchantrain #matsuyamatrip #ehimetravel #onsentown #cityplaybook #japanheritage #slowtravel
