Curated Collection
14 stays
Dogo, on the edge of Matsuyama, claims some of the oldest bathing history in Japan, and its landmark Dogo Onsen Honkan is the reason most people come. A private bath at your ryokan is the counterweight: soak in the public icon by day, then retreat to your own tub. Our database lists 14 Dogo stays with private or reservable baths, from $87 a night. Atatakai Yado Taniya (9.6, $180), Yamanote Bettei Hagakure (9.6) and Bettei Oborozukiyo (9.6) lead the ratings, with Tokiwaso at $110 for value. The tram from Matsuyama makes it car-free easy; it pairs naturally with a wider Shikoku loop.
