Dogo Onsen | Ancient Bath House Secrets Revealed ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Don't be frightened! In Japan, bath houses are everywhere, but none are as mystical as Dogo Onsen. Sure, it's a place where you get naked with a bunch of strangers to clean yourself and relax in therapeutic waters, but what makes this public onsen special is that it's also open to everyone including those with tattoos, a rarity in Japan. You can't stay the night here, but you can take in the magical environment that places you in what seems like a totally different world.
Dogo Onsen is famous for not only being Japan's oldest onsen (3,000 years) but for it's special rejuvenating waters that heal the body and make you young again.
The myth of the onsen's origins comes from a white heron or egret who was injured. It bathed in the waters at this spot every day until healthy enough to fly away.
You'll find a lot of people in the 80s, 90s and even 100 years old bathing to stay healthy and fix health problems. After 15 minutes in the waters, you may feel the power too!
The main building called the HONKAN was built in the 19th century. It also houses a special bathing area for the Imperial family on the east side called the YUSHINDEN. The Emperor hasn't visited since 1950, but when he does come again, the staff said they'll be ready just like they're ready for every person who wants a bath in all of their luxurious tubs.

Japan Travel: Historic Japanese Hot Springs at Dogo Onsen Honkan, Matsuyama, Japan 11 Moopon
Located in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, the world famous Dogo Onsen (Hot Springs) symbol is the Dogo Onsen Honkan (道後温泉本館). This charming bath house is filled with activity as staff members lead guests up and down the wooden staircases, along the old-fashioned wooden hallways to their rooms and various. It is said Studio Ghibli’s “Spirited Away” is modeled after the Dogo Onsen Honkan.
The Honkan has two different baths for visitors to enjoy. Kami no Yu (the Bath of the Gods) is located on the first floor and Tama no Yu (the Bath of the Spirits) is on the second floor. Both baths are a separate male and female bathing section separated by a wall. The baths are made of stone. Kami no Yu is larger but Tama no Yu is more elegant.
Visitors will find communal tatami mat rooms on the second floor. Often these large tatami rooms are used to relax after a long bath. There are smaller, individual rooms on the third floor to rest and perhaps have a light snack. There are four different admission packages of visitors as to the extent of facilities available to them during their visit.
Visitors may wish to view Yushinden, a special section in the Honkan which was constructed for the Imperial Family’s visit in 1899. Visitors will be taken on a short guided tour to see the facilities reserved for visiting emperors. The facilities shown include a lavishly decorated room as well as the emperor’s exclusive bath and toilet. Please note, since 1952, no emperor has used the Yushinden.

Legend has it that storks used to bathe in the marshes of Kinosaki to heal their wounds. Later, bath houses were built over these very sites to capitalize on the healing waters. Since then Kinosaki has become one of the most popular onsen destination in the Kansai region.
Nowadays there are a number of ryokan in the area, all with their own baths equipped, but the real draw to Kinosaki are the seven public bath houses (sotoyu). Also some beautiful foot baths (ashiyu) and spring water drinking fountains are scattered throughout town.

Visitors coming to the World Famous Dogo Onsen Hot Springs in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture will probably be using the Dogo Onsen Station, a tourist attraction in itself!!
Functioning as the terminal station to three tram lines, the station gives its visitors the feeling as though they have arrived to the Meiji Period. With the stations architecture reflecting the Meiji Period, it seem natural a steam locomotive, “Botchan” train, is still in use at this station.
At the station front visitors can find the clock-tower as well as a free hot springs foot bath. The Dogo Shopping Arcade is nearby as well for visitors to shop and enjoy the local cuisine.
Built in 1895, Dogo Onsen Station is a nice representation of Meiji Period architecture. It serves as the terminal station to three tram lines. A Botchan steam locomotive is often exhibited in front of it.
