Funaya
Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan · Independent · Core Luxury
Funaya has received the Imperial Family at Dogo Onsen for more than 390 years, and Natsume Soseki wrote from these rooms. Behind the street facade sits a 5,000-square-meter strolling garden, so the stay is pine, pond, and courtyard rather than only the famous public bath down the hill. Oldest-layer Dogo, still taking guests. The inn's famous guests are the history; the garden is what a visitor actually walks through.
