Dogo Onsen has also been a frequent destination for Japan&#8217;s most prestigious guests, the Imperial Family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main attraction in Dogo Onsen is the Dogo Onsen Honkan, a wooden public bathhouse, dating from 1894. The interior of the Honkan is a maze of stairways, passages and rooms, all of which bustle with bathers and staff.
