The Dogo public spa was the model for the 'spa for the spirits' in the Japanese animated film 'Spirited Away,' which I would recommend to anyone with any political/literary interests. We didn't have time to actually go in the bath house, but we drove by it and did the japanese thing (hop out of the car, take a picture, and hop back in the picture. It was the last stop on our trip besides a rest area somewhere between Matsuyama and Marugame where Melissa forced me to take a thirty minute nap before arriving back at home at about 8 pm tonight. Callan, who fell asleep shortly after devouring some ice cream we purchased at the rest area, stayed asleep after we arrived home, and Melissa went to bed about twenty minutes later. It was a short trip, but a nice break from the routine. If I could go back I would take the time to get the full treatment at the spa, which is only about twenty dollars american and is supposed to be great. Who knows if we'll ever get back there.
