Dogo's old places exploring

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Shizuka 96 reviews

There consist of 4 route cause, Ohenro-san's pass (I mentioned on Japan page), Setokaze mountain pass, the castle's ruins, temples. Total points are 28. If you want going around all of them, you need 2 days at least. I think it's the best hiking course in Matsuyama. You can leave the stamps setting each point (next page's pic) on this notebook (you can get it at the information center in Dougo). These stamps are carved haiku (Japanese short poetry). It would be your fondest memory.

Road of the Haiku

Is this a haiku I see before me?

This path, alongside the Ehime Prefecture Folk and Culture Hall is studded with monuments engraved with haikus made by haiku poets from Matsuyama.

This leads to a new pastime of 'haiku spotting'.

Samurai armor

The museum inside the castle is really worth visiting.The museum holds many feudal things like armors and weapons. Most of them belonged to the Matsudeira-clan.

In the Dogo area, and up a large number of steps, is Isaniwa Jinja.

If you're in the area, it's well worth a look. You can see the castle across town.

This old style steam train can be taken on the tram lines between the city and Dogo stations. It's 300 yen one way.

There is an art museum inside the moat which sometimes has special exhibitions. Worth a look if you are in town, particularly if they have a special exhibition on.

Shopping arcade

The shopping arcade is a good place to spend some time on a rainy day. Here you can find restaurants, cafés, shops and the famous multicoloured gambling parlors.
