Close to the Dogo Onsen Honkan and Dogo Station is Dogo Park. Dogo Park is almost perfect. Not too big, you can walk around it, or over it, in fifteen minutes. The park has lots to see and do. The observation platform at the top offers a magnificent panoramic view of Matsuyama, the castle, and the Seto Inland Sea. There’s nothing that resembles a castle anymore, but there’s a well-made replica of a samurai compound, and a very good little museum. The park is close to many other attractions, but it’s well worth a visit in itself, if only to see the people of Matsuyama taking their leisure in a little local oasis. #givethanks #givethanks

Dogo Park

#thingstodo Absolutely gorgeous little park. Lots of birds, turtles and nice scenery to enjoy. We spent some wonderful hours here. Enjoyed watching a guy with a pigeon on a leash. Wildlife here seems to be quite the attraction, given the TV teams competing with us amateurs for inner city wildlife and nature shots. Comfortable environment, you can leisurely stroll for an afternoon.
