Ehime Matsuyama Trip Part 7: Night View of Dogo Onsen Hot Spring

I traveled to Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture for three days and two nights in late April. This was my sixth trip to Ehime Matsuyama and I was able to enjoy the trip as my first travel since I changed my camera and lens. In this article, I will write about night view of Dogo Onsen Hot Spring as part of Day 2.

Dogo Onsen Hot Spring CHAHARU (茶玻瑠)

Following the previous post, I will continue to go around Dogo Onsen Hot Spring. First, I checked in “Dogo Onsen Hot Spring CHAHARU (茶玻瑠)” where I will stay this night.

At the lobby.

Here is my room.

There was an observation lounge on the top floor.

Uotake (魚武)

I will have an early dinner at “Uotake (魚武)”.

“Uotake (魚武)” was located near Dogo Onsen Honkan in the Dogo Shopping Arcade.

“Uotake (魚武)” serves local cuisine of Ehime prefecture.

I ordered a beef dish.

Evening View of Dogo Onsen

After dinner, I will take pictures of evening and night scene at Dogo Onsen Hot Spring.

I will start to take evening photos at Dogo Onsen station. Unfortunately, the sky was gloomy.

Dogo Onsen station was renewed last November and Starbucks was opened there. I will visit it tomorrow.

“Asuka-no-yu(飛鳥乃湯泉)”. This was Dogo Onsen Annex and opened last December.

I changed color setting a little bit.

I passed through Dogo Shopping Arcade and went to Dogo Onsen Honkan.

Installation looked bright around this time.

There was a bear art work in the rear of Dogo Onsen Honkan.

Other snaps.

Night View of Dogo Onsen

I moved to Dogo Onsen station again.

It became dark around this time.

I think lighted-up Dogo Onsen station was very attractive.

“Asuka-no-yu (飛鳥乃湯泉)”.

I will visit “Asuka-no-yu (飛鳥乃湯泉)” to take a bath the next day.

“Tsubaki-no-yu (椿の湯)”.

“Tsubaki-no-yu (椿の湯)” was also renovated last year and an art work was exhibited.

I will take night photos of Dogo Onsen Honkan as the last spot.

As I mentioned before, the installation work made Dogo Onsen Honkan more attractive.

Other snaps.

By the way. I didn’t use a tripod so far and took all of the photos by hand-held shooting.

Here are only photos I took with the tripod.

Then, I returned to the hotel and the second day of my Ehime Matsuyama trip was over.

[Closing]

That’s it for the article about night view of Dogo Onsen Hot Spring as part of Day 2 of my Ehime Matsuyama trip.

There were lots of spots which were suitable for night photos at Dogo Onsen, including Dogo Onsen Honkan and Asuka-no-yu. This was my first trip after I changed my camera setting from “α7 II ＆ SEL1635Z” to “α7 III ＆ SEL1635GM” and I realized night photos with hand-held shooting became easier thanks to my new camera and lens 🙂

In the next article, I will write about Asuka-no-yu and Mican Room as part of Day 3.
