A rejuvenating four-bath circuit experience rooted in Wakasa, with stunning views of Obama Bay and famous spring water
Fukui Obama City
"Miketsukuni Wakasa Obama Hamanoyu" is a bathing facility located in a scenic spot overlooking the beautiful Obama Bay in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture. It uses high-quality spring water from the same well as "Unjō-sui," one of Japan's 100 Famous Waters, and offers a unique four-bath circuit inspired by Obama’s history and legends. Highlights include the "seaweed bath," named after a legend of longevity, and the "beauty bath," which contains ingredients comparable to those of Dogo Onsen. The facility also features a high-temperature sauna and an alternating hot-and-cold bathing experience with a mild cold plunge bath filtered through bamboo charcoal, making it ideal for refreshing both body and mind.
