Obama Historical Museum
The museum stands on a small hill overlooking the hot spring steam in the Obama hot spring area. The Honda Yudayū Residence, built in 1844, introduces the achievements of Honda Yudayū, who laid the foundations for the development of Obama Hot Springs.
‘Yudayū’ was the title given by the Shimabara Clan for the management of the hot springs. The Honda family has contributed to the development of Obama Hot Springs by investing private funds in hot spring facilities, while passing them on from generation to generation.
