The moment you meet the real Totoro at Dogo Onsen 🌿

#JapanGuide 🍄 Dogo Onsen Ghibli Market – どんぐり共和国 📍Address / Location Located in the center of Dogo Haikara Shopping Street, 20‑20 Dogo Yunomachi, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. 1-minute walk from Dogo Onsen Station! It's the perfect route to stop by right after visiting the main hot spring building 😊   ⏰ Operating Hours • Friday, Sunday: 9:30–18:30 • Monday–Thursday, Saturday: 11:00–20:00 • No regular holidays, but temporary closures are possible, so check SNS or the official website before visiting!  💰 Price Range • Focused on character goods, prices range from 1,000 yen to 5,000 yen • A variety of items including Totoro and Nekobus dolls, stationery, and daily necessities!  💡 Tips • Extra-large Totoro & Nekobus dolls greet you at the entrance. In particular, the Nekobus bus stop signboard has a cute “Dogo Onsen” sign!  • The interior of the store is full of a wooden feel! • Popular character goods sell out really quickly, so we recommend visiting early • If you have a wallet, take a certification shot at the photo zone 😄 📝 Impressions The Ghibli goods shop that suddenly comes across in the traditional atmosphere of Dogo Onsen made me feel like I was in a scene from an animation. The cute production that made it seem like Totoro was enjoying the hot springs and the detail of asking “Dogo Onsen?” at the Nekobus bus stop made me smile 😍 Even if you don’t buy goods, the photo zone is great for taking pictures and the dolls that bring back memories are healing just by looking around! If you want to add a Ghibli sensibility to your trip to Dogo Onsen, this is a must-visit spot!
