Dogo Onsen Honkan
Japanese Name: 道後温泉本館Prefecture: EhimeCity: MatsuyamaAddress: 愛媛県松山市如道後之町５−６Closest Station: Dogo Onsen Station / 道後温泉駅Category: Hot Spring FacilityWebpage: https://dogo.jp/onsen/honkanPrice: ¥420Holiday: Hours: 6:00-23:00
Review:The famous building that is said to be the inspiration for the bath from the film "Spirited Away" and the setting for Natsumi Soseki semi autobiographical novel "Botchan." Dogo is one of the most famous onsen in the nation. Inside the giant bathhouse are various levels of service at various prices. The basic bath is on the first floor and offers a basic single tub. The building itself is quite amazing and highly recommended for any fan of the book, film or onsen but be forewarned this is a very popular tourist attraction. You won't find a quiet bath here. For more ¥1,250 you can go to a smaller, less crowded bath with service that includes a yukata, green tea, senbei, a tour of the museum in the building and access to a tatami room to relax in.

Tsubaki no Yu
Japanese Name: 椿の湯Prefecture: EhimeCity: MatsuyamaAddress: 愛媛県松山市道後湯之町１９－２２Closest Station: Dogo Onsen Station / 道後温泉駅Category: Hot Spring FacilityWebpage: https://www.city.matsuyama.ehime.jp/kanko/kankoguide/kankomeisho/dogoonsen/honkan/tubaki.htmlhttps://dogo.jp/onsen/tsubakiPrice: ¥400Holiday: NoneHours: 6:30-23:00
Review:Tsubaki no Yu is the other public bath in Dogo Onsen, and the best one. This is where the locals go. Don't expect the amazing building and all the glamour of the Honkan down the street here, just expect a great bath. While the Honkan is beautiful, it is crowded with tourist (myself included) and people who don't always know how to take a bath. Tsubaki has some of those people of course, but the number is far fewer. Inside is a simple large changing room leading to a single very large shallow bath filled with spring water of the same quality as the Honkan. Even when busy there is enough room to spread out and enjoy the amazing, healing water here. Go to the Honkan first, if you haven't before, then come here.
