 The Dogo Onsen Honkan is a picturesque symbol of Japan’s oldest hot spring. In 1994 it was the first public bathhouse in Japan designated as a National Important Cultural Property, and in 2009 it was awarded the top rating of 3 stars by the Michelin Green Guide Japan.
The present-day Kami-no-Yu Honkan is a 3-story wooden structure renovated in 1894 by Yukiya Isaniwa, the first mayor of Dogo Yunomachi. The building was designed by Matahachiro Sakamoto, a craftsman from a family of master carpenters who worked on Matsuyama Castle. Featuring a truss structure that incorporates Western techniques, this grand 3-tiered building is crowned by a square cupola called the Shinrokaku that features giyaman glass windows and a roof adorned by a sculpture of the egret from the Dogo Onsen legend. The Dogo Onsen Honkan has two bathing areas, the Tama-no-Yu and Kami-no-Yu, and guests can select from four bathing packages: the Tama-no-Yu 3rd floor private room, Tama-no-Yu 2nd floor resting lounge, Kami-no-Yu 2nd floor resting lounge, and Kami-no-Yu downstairs.

Totodo is a bookstore with a gallery space that deals in rare and old books related to art, photography, design, and architecture. Our selection focuses on modern and contemporary reference books that could be called "new classics," and is based on a comprehensive evaluation of books, including not only their contents but also their bindings and materials. In the gallery space, we hold special exhibitions several times a year. The shop opened in Toranomon in April 2006. We later moved to Azabudai, and on May 18, 2009, we opened our current store in Uguisudani-cho, Shibuya-ku.
The name "Totodo" comes from the fact that the Tokyo Tower could be seen from the window of the gallery in Toranomon. The store name "Totodo" is a combination of the scenery of the place where we started and the imagery of the letters when written in alphabet.

The works that are introduced in this gallery share a common power: the power to trigger the senses, expand horizons and open the eyes of those who encounter them. Visitors are offered new possibilities that exist in different times and different spaces. In this way encounters that have their origin in the here and now develop into relationships that transgress both time and space.
