The white heron legend of Dogo Onsen

Sun, May 29, 2016, by Muza-chan

Legend says that more than 3000 years ago, the locals of Matsuyama noticed that a white heron with an injured leg healed by bathing daily in a hot spring. Then, they tried the hot spring for themselves, and thus was established the Dogo Onsen, one of the oldest hot spring in Japan.
