Being close to the foot of the moutain where the castle stands and being connected with the shopping arcade is the famous "Dogo Onsen" (Dogo Hot Spring). As soaking in a soothing hot spring bath is the great fun for typical Japanese people, this natural hot spring is the symbol of leisure spot. Holding a vestige of good old days, the 3-tiered "Sanso-Ro" Dogo Onsen wooden building structure houses different types of baths provided, one is just soaking yourself in the bath and others, relaxing in Japanse Yukata bathrobe and relaxing on the second floor after the bath with tea and a sweet cake. By whichever case you choose, you can feel a typical Japanese way of relaxation.
