明治23年(1890)道後初代町長、伊佐庭如矢(いさにわゆきや)は当時老朽化していた道後温泉本館改築に取り組みました。当時、内外の多くの反対、批判、命の危険に晒されながらも、自ら給与を無給とし、初志貫徹、100年たっても真似の出来ない物を造ってこそ意味がある、人が集まれば町が潤い、百姓や職人の暮らしもよくなると誠心誠意をもって町民を説得してこの偉業を成し遂げたというものです。棟梁には、城大工の坂本又八郎を起用し、当時でも珍しいとされる木造三層楼の作りになっています。また、道後への鉄道引き込みを企図し、道後鉄道株式会社を設立、一番町〜道後、道後〜三津口間に軽便鉄道を走らせたり関西からの航路が開かれるなど、道後温泉が発展していった時節といえるでしょう。伊佐庭如矢のお墓は、道後温泉街を見下ろす鷺谷の墓地に葬られています。
In 1890, Isaniwa Yukiya, the first mayor of Dogo, tried to rebuild the damaged Dogo Onsen main building. But his plan was opposed by his colleagues and many citizens at first, and even his life was threatened. But he tried to accomplish his plan even if he sacrificed his own salary. Eventually he succeeded to persuade the village people with his whole heart declaring that the main building must be the one unprecedented and no one can challenge to imitate even after 100 years later. Further, he stressed that if tourists visit here and spend money, the locals profit as a result.
Then he appointed Sakamoto Matahachiro, a castle carpenter, as the chief carpenter
The building was three-storied wooden structure which was rare at that time. He also projected new railway transportation system to Dogo area and established the Dogo Railroad Company. The company built light-weight railroad from Ichiban-cho streets to Dogo and from Dogo to Mitsuguchi area. In those days, a sea route from Kansai area was opened and Dogo area began to prosper by having many tourists from outside Matsuyama.
His tomb is located in Sagidani graveyard from where you can command a great view of Dogo onsen downtown.
明治23年(1890年),第一位担任道后町的町长,叫伊佐庭如矢(YI SA NI WA YU KI YA),为了改建当时已经很陈旧的道后温泉本馆,不顾受到各方面的反对和压力,甚至还要冒着生命危险,不收取报酬,立志将温泉本馆建成了以后百年都不能再仿造的独一无二的温泉建筑,温泉所在地也吸引了各方来的人们投资,变得富裕起来,当地的百姓和手艺人的生活也随之变得好起来,他是满怀着诚意,说服了当地的居民,才使得这一伟业能够实现。本馆的栋梁设计者起用了建造松山城的木匠坂本又八郎,由他负责担任并建造了在当时就很稀罕的木造三层楼。另外,伊佐庭如矢还成立了伊予铁道公司,铺了铁轨,以便将市中心地的一番町至道后,还将三津码头至道后连起来,这样就可以方便从关西来的航路,更加有利于温泉的繁荣旺盛。伊佐庭如矢死后的墓地,被安放在能够俯瞰他生前深爱的道后温泉街道的鹭谷墓地里。
메이지 23년(1890) 도고의 초대촌장인 이자니와 유키야는 노후화되었던 도고온천본관을 개축하기 위하여 많은 힘을 쏟아부었습니다. 당시 외부의 많은 반응과 비판, 생명의 위협, 임부들 모두 스스로 임금을 받지 않고 처음에 정한 목표를 이어나갔습니다. 그 결과, 100년 지나도 흉내낼 수 없는 건물을 지었다는 의미와 방문하는 사람이 늘어 마을이 윤택해지고, 백성과 장인의 생활도 좋아짐과 성심성의껏 주민을 설득하여 이 위업을 이뤘다는 것입니다. 동량은 성의 목수 사카모토 마타하치로를 기용해, 당시에도 드물었던 목조 삼층 누각이 제작되었습니다. 또한 도고에 철도를 인입해 도고철도주식회사를 설립, 이치반쵸~도고, 도고~미츠하마쿠치 사이에 경편철도를 설치하거나 간사이에서의 항로가 생기는 등 도고 온천이 발전하게 된 시절이라고 할 수 있습니다. 이자니와 유키야의 무덤은 도고온천가를 내려다보는 사기다니에 묘지가 있습니다.
