Every hour, accompanied by music typical of Dogo Onsen, the clock rises and characters from the novel "Botchan" put on a little show.

At the bottom, you can see a bath, reminiscent of Dogo Onsen, and the music changes depending on the time.

Next to the clock, there's a footbath using Dogo Onsen's hot spring water, making it a popular spot.
