Dogo Park

Dogo Park (道後公園), located in the heart of Matsuyama, is a beloved spot for both history buffs and nature enthusiasts.

Visitors can explore the park’s historical features while enjoying the peaceful environment, making it a perfect place to relax, reflect, and take in the surrounding natural beauty.

In spring, Dogo Park transforms into a breathtaking sight as its cherry blossoms come into full bloom, drawing many visitors during sakura season. The park’s expansive lawns and tree-lined paths provide an excellent space for picnics, leisurely walks, and enjoying the outdoors. Whether you're soaking in the historical ambiance or simply enjoying the vibrant colors of the flowers, Dogo Park offers a tranquil retreat year-round, with something to offer in every season.
