It has been praised in poetry under names such as “Nigitatsu no Iwayu” and “Iyo no Yuketa.” Funaya Ryokan (today’s “Funaya”) opened here during the Kan’ei era of the Edo period. 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. The haiku “Hajimete no Funaya-domari o shigurekeri” was composed when Soseki stayed here in the autumn of 1893, the year he arrived in Matsuyama to teach. Funaya Ryokan has also been favored by literary figures connected to Matsuyama, including Masaoka Shiki and Takahama Kyoshi.
