One of the most picturesque place in Matsuyama is the route between Dōgo Onsen and the train station.

Photographed here is the Hojo-en Square, with the entrance to the shopping arcade on the left, the Botchan Karakuri Clock in the center and, in the background to the right, a hot spring which was fitted about one hundred years ago as foot bath.
