Matsuyama · Shikoku
One of Japan's oldest hot springs, with a recorded history going back over 1,300 years and oral traditions reaching much further. The iconic Dogo Onsen Honkan, a three-storey wooden bathhouse completed in 1894, is said to have inspired the bathhouse in Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. The gentle alkaline waters are known for their skin-softening properties.
