Higashi-Dogo Onsen

Rising across the Minami-Kume area of Matsuyama, Higashi-Dogo Onsen is known for its distinctively slippery alkaline water. Sitting east of Dogo, it draws visitors as a locally beloved beauty bath.

Highlights

The high-pH alkaline water is said to leave the skin smooth and refined. Day-use baths and inns with natural springs are scattered through the district, offering relaxed soaks in facilities with open-air and family baths.

Enjoying the Seasons

It can be enjoyed year-round, but the alkaline water that keeps you warm after bathing is welcome in the cold months. Gazing up at the night sky from an open-air pool brings its own mood in each season.

Access and Basic Information

About 15 minutes by car from central Matsuyama. Close to Iyotetsu stations, it is easy to drop by between Matsuyama sightseeing stops.

A Quick Tip

Be sure to feel the slippery quality of the water for yourself. The lasting smoothness of the skin afterward is the special charm of this spring.
