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.

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.

At The Conflux - Japanese Cityscapes in Motion
I did some timelapses of Dogo Onsen for enjoyment while visiting Matsuyama. Several nights I was approached by friendly city workers in the midst of a promotional campaign for the famous bath house. They asked if I would be interested in putting something together for them. This is the result.
Dogo Onsen (道後温泉) is one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot spring public bath houses. Located in Matsuyama, the largest city on Shikoku (the smallest of the four main islands) Dogo Onsen has a rich history with records dating back to the 6th century AD. One of the more popular legends concerns an injured egret that soaked his shin in the warm waters and healed himself. The wooden bath house served as a model for Hayao Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away.”

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.
