Fresh highlights pulled from the template so you can browse the shape of the trip before opening it.
Must visit
Matsuyama Castle
A landmark hilltop castle with expansive city and Seto Inland Sea views. Expect a steep final approach after the ropeway or lift.
Must visit
Dogo Onsen Main Building
One of Japan's most famous historic bathhouses, known for its iconic architecture and traditional bathing experience. Entry slots can sell out and queues are common on weekends.
Must visit
Dōgo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu
A modern onsen annex in the Dogo area that’s often easier to fit into a tight 2-day itinerary. It’s a good alternative when the main building is crowded.
Must visit
Isaniwa Shrine
A prominent Dogo-area shrine reached by a long stone stair approach. Go earlier in the day for a cooler climb and clearer photos.
Must visit
Dogo Shopping Street (Dogo Haikara Avenue)
A covered shopping street for snacks, sweets, and souvenirs near the Dogo onsen district. It’s liveliest later in the day, especially on weekends.
Must visit
Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum
A central museum stop that works well as an indoor culture break near the castle area. Check opening hours ahead if you’re sequencing it between sightseeing blocks.
