For more than 390 years since, it has continued to be cherished as a lodging for countless travelers. Dogo is mentioned in ancient works such as the Nihon Shoki and the Manyoshu, but it was Natsume Soseki’s novel Botchan that made its name widely known.

Funaya Ryokan has also been favored by literary figures connected to Matsuyama, including Masaoka Shiki and Takahama Kyoshi.
