What is a Ryokan? Ryokans are the best way to experience Japanese culture and enjoy the true comforts of Japanese hospitality and service.
Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 "onsen" ,or hot springs, in Japan. Many can be found at the ryokans available on Japanese Guest Houses.
Obama is set against a backdrop of the magnificent Unzen mountains, facing the deep-blue Tachibana Bay. The town features the hottest and among the most active hot springs in the whole of Japan. Obama is a real joy to visit particularly because on almost every corner you can see how this powerful natural resource is being used. Plus, many of the activities that the town has to offer can be enjoyed with a wonderful sea view or, at the right time of the day, overlooking a spectacular sunset.
