Obama Hot Springs
In the Hizen Fudoki (713), compiled in the early Nara period (710-794), it is recorded that ‘a hot spring can be seen gushing from the south-west of Takaku’s peak’. This is thought to refer to the Obama hot springs and it is said to have been used as a hot spring cure since ancient times.
Obama hot springs still boasts one of the highest heat and source temperatures in the country, with 15,000 tonnes of 100°C hot water gushing out of 30 sources in Obama Town every day.
