Hot Spring

The first rooftop open-air bath in Dogo will heal your body and soul under the shining moon and stars.

This rooftop open-air bath, the first in Dogo, is what we are proud of. Basking in the warm water that has blessed Dogo since ancient times, you can relax quietly while indulging yourself in the bathtub and enjoying the view of Matsuyama Castle to the south and Mount Ishizuchi to the north.
Please enjoy the traditional hot spring in Dogo while looking out at the ever-changing scenery of Matsuyama and the garden.
