Dogo Onsen, Matsuyama 2

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 29 February 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

Another view of the famous bath house. I was also surprised to see it was in the middle of a pretty busy area; you can see the main road going right around the house. I imagined it would be in a more attractive, tranquil setting. But of course this is a functional bath house, built where people can get easy access to it, and the area has developed around it over time. It really is part of the community.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

This corner view is even more beautiful than the previous one! The architectural lines are a pleasure to the eyes! And the presentation is markedly excellent!

I dig the color in some of these shots - a bit washed, a bit saturated.
