Japan's Longest 105-Meter Foot Bath with Views of Tachibana Bay Sunset

About this spot

The symbol of Obama hot spring, located at the seaside after descending from Unzen's mountains, this is Japan's longest foot bath at a full 105 meters—a name inspired by the 105-degree temperature of the hot spring source. Settle into the foot bath as it stretches along Tachibana Bay, and the open sea spreads before you. Soak your feet in the warm water as it gently soothes and relaxes you from below, while you leisurely watch passing ships and seabirds drift by. The facility also features a pebbled walking foot bath and a foot bath for pets, delighting the whole family. An attached steam chamber offers hot spring steam cooking experiences. Obama hot spring is renowned for its beautiful sunsets over the sea, and the moment when sky and ocean glow in shades of orange at dusk is breathtaking. It's the perfect finale to your drive.

Tips

Bring a towel to dry your feet. Operating hours vary by season, so check ahead along with sunset times for peace of mind. Seating fills quickly at dusk, so arriving a bit early to secure a spot is recommended. If you plan to try the steam chamber experience, allow extra time.
