After lunch, I took a tram to the Dogo district. After visiting two shrines, I went to a beautiful museum which exhibited Edo/Mejii glass in many shapes, colours and purposes, e.g. sake bottles.
I went to the Dogo Onsen Honkan which was on the site of the oldest onsen in Matsuyama, having been used by the Emperors in 596 AD. The present building was constructed in 1894. It was also the smallest and warmest bath I went in that afternoon.
The Dogo Onsen Annex Assuka-no-yu had two pools with a small garden.
Tsubaki-no-yu was relatively modern and larger with an outdoor area with ceramic wall panels and decorative wooden panels.
I took a tram back to the hotel.
We had dinner in an arcade in the Okaido district of the city.
A cold and cough started that night and lasted for four nights. It may have been cause by the air-conditioning in the bedroom being set too low.Read more
