Dogo Onsen is one of the oldest, some say THE oldest and best-known onsen hot springs in Japan. With a history stretching back over 3000 years, it was a favorite retreat of writer Natsume Soseki when he was working near Matsuyama as a teacher. In Soseki's loosely autobiographical novel "Botchan", the main character is a frequent visitor to the springs and the only place he likes in the area.
