Its presence is known from ancient times. Called (meaning Tsu of simmering hot water) "Niki stand" the Hijaz, I seem to Manyoshu Kenichi. It should be noted that this neighborhood was called the Hot Springs County (county hot water) in the past, but this is a place name named after this hot spring. There is a theory that what (the kingdom of boiled) water country has turned the name of (the kingdom of Iyo) Iyo country.

The drawn novel of Natsume Soseki "Chi yan one Bow" also (in 1905), it has become a tourist destination typical of Ehime Prefecture. (Applicants Dogo hot spring inn cooperative) that is certified as a (local brand) regional collective trademark in August 2007.


Spring quality
Simple hot spring. (It is supplied in 46 degrees as a mixture of these) 51 degrees - 42 source temperature. In recent years, Dogo Onsen main building is also with chlorine disinfection under the influence of the county ordinance, I'm controversial in that case. Even Onsen Matsuyama city center, hot spring hot water is using the 引湯 back from Dogo Onsen can afford I also certain.

Efficacy

Co-hot water
Currently, there are co-yu two Dogo Onsen.
Dogo Onsen main building - use of tourist center. There is also a Matashin hall is a bathroom of royalty only.
Yu Camellia - use of local customer centered. Rates cheaper.

Egret legend
where the old days, it was not soak in hot water Egret footsore flows out from among the rocks, wound healed, and a look at the go taking off, warm, is a hot spring villagers and soak your hands, that confirms the efficacy there is a legend. This is the discovery of Dogo Onsen.
Not only Dogo Onsen, the edge of the hot spring and Egret deeply, egrets appeared to discover the story of hot springs around the country. In that it has entered the sense further, there is a (heron stone) stone is gratuitous and that traces of the white heron flew down the left, the small park Fengcheng garden in front of the station in the city train that (performance method) in Dogo Onsen It is laid in a corner.
One of the symbols of Dogo Onsen also becoming Egret, I have seen the design for which the motif egrets also fence around the main building Dogo Onsen. In addition, place name Sagiya remains.

596 years, Umayadonooji (Prince Shotoku) came hot water
That you have to stay in the Dogo hot spring for medical treatment has been described in Iyo country fudoki lost writings. Prince is climbing to Oka Isa Erh wave, and raved about hot water and landscape, and he left the inscription in memory, but the actual thing is not discovered until today, it is the mystery of Dogo Onsen maximum. There is also a theory that Kono was taken away during the hot water erecting fortification in the 14th century. Monument that documents the pattern of green space to the south side of the hot water of the camellia is erected.

Sakakibara Onsen (hot spring Sakakibara), thermal springs in the Tsu City, Mie Prefecture Sakakibara town (old country Ise country). Is said to be the seven hot water chestnut (chestnut Nana), is sung "hot water of seven chestnut, Arima hot water, hot water yu Tamatukuri" and Noin the "Pillow Book" in the first stage of the 117 "three name Izumi" one.

Spring quality: alkaline simple hot spring

Spa town
Hot springs resort atmosphere in the mountains. No pleasure elements.
Forest of temple found in the spa town is famous for nirvana diagram depicting the cat.

History
Sakakibara Onsen is a hot water proud of the history very old. Region hits the fault called Sakakibara fault, we are gushing (which is a plate effusion type of non-volcanic probably) artesian water from the sidelines, had been the subject of faith as a place efficacious miracle for a long time. In addition, It is counted in three names spring as described above, it is form has well equipped as a watering place already in the Heian period. As you can see, was listed in The Pillow Book is because it is a blurb-looking, open water legend was not handed down.

Mountain shrine morphisms's expression was built in 927 years, it is now also referred to as "God hot water". Against this background, Ise pilgrimage becomes active after entering the Edo period, the hot water of seven chestnut acts as a stiff field of worshipers, worshipers of Ise fasting bathing in hot water of this seven chestnut to worship before the shrine it becomes tradition it is to, watering place was bustling greatly. For this reason, called "hot water of the house" that Sakakibara Onsen, you are holding a pride that it is sacred hot water locally. At that time, mountain shrine is called a hot spring Daimyojin injection, I was highly touted.

In addition, place name seven chestnut is a village name that existed for a long time, place name Sakakibara, which is the origin of Sakakibara Onsen, dates back to the time the next emperor body. When it was decided that daughter the next body emperor, Sasagi Hime-no-mikoto (荳角 princess life) become Hitoshi king, to enter the Saiku, is immersed overnight in hot spring water Sakaki that was native to close, that the ritual to Shrine I'm named after the tradition.

In addition, Sengen open hot water initially is depleted already, I'm using the Sengen different now.

Theories of hot water of Nana in chestnut [edit] today, is the most powerful majority, hot water in the Pillow Book of "Nana chestnut" you refer to is Sakakibara hot springs, minority or Bessho Hot Springs theory, the other about it There is hot water hot spring peak Roh as theory. The Kaneru determined clearly because there is only the sentence only stage of the "Pillow Book", but ~ Nana chestnut of "Kazushi in the song of the two placed on the husband tree waka Excerpts were published in the late Kamakura period to another there is a case of hot water "of. The points to Kazushi county Sakakibara springs is positioned and Kazushi, which confirms that this hot spring has been called "yu Nana chestnut" old.

In addition, involvement and Shrine is deep, the hot spring was respected as a special hot water. In addition, Tamatsukurionsen you select other, and Arima Onsen, involved the emperor and house deeply together, is touted as a hot water of God, the God of medicine, small Hikona life known as the God of the hot spring is found as a common point other (However, the hot water travels in the open water of small Hikona life to many present in the whole country) relevance of the common can be seen and there is a tradition that is transmitted.

Bessho Hot Springs side, argues that this hot spring is called bitter away seven, and seven Kuri ancient times, it has not been ascertained or not the time was from the so called. However, Bessho Onsen side did not make the claim (of The Pillow Book) called "Yu Nana chestnut" about Sakakibara Onsen. By ties with the samurai society, Bessho Hot Springs after, was developed as a place for hot water stiffness Terauchi town, including the Kitamuki Kannon, this did not fit the image that you want to advertise in the Heian era outlook on Seishonagon played an active part (Rather, to advertise the hot water of Kobo Daishi Yukari by multiplying the hot spring faith was effective) This is because.
