[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.
