Oh! Speaking of Takeo Onsen, it's the super famous hot spring that Saga Prefecture is proud of! It's one of the leading hot spring spots in Japan, with a history of 1,300 years! It's a place where hot water and historical romance intersect, just like a "theme park of healing and excitement"! Let's take a closer look at the history of Takeo Onsen! It is said that the origin of Takeo Onsen dates back to the Nara period! This hot spring was already written about in the oldest historical book in Japan, "Hizen no Kuni Fudoki"! People at that time may have said "Oh, paradise!" while bathing in this hot spring! Then, in the Edo period, Takeo Onsen became the official hot spring of the Nabeshima Domain (Saga Domain), and was a great healing spot for samurai! Furthermore, in the Meiji period, the Takeo Onsen Tower Gate was completed, designed by Tatsuno Kingo (the genius architect who designed Tokyo Station!), and it quickly evolved into a tourist attraction! Even now, the tower gate shines red and warmly welcomes visitors! I can't help but talk about the charms of Takeo Onsen! 1. The spring quality is amazing! The water here is a weakly alkaline simple spring, and the viscous feeling is irresistible! The moment you enter, your skin will be like, "Wow, my skin is so smooth!?" It's also famous for its skin-beautifying properties, and is a natural beauty treatment! 2. The hot spring town is full of atmosphere! Walking through the retro and tasteful hot spring town will make you feel like you've traveled back in time! There are many old-fashioned inns and restaurants, so it's great to eat your way around! 3. The famous "Takeo Onsen Shinkan"! This is also a National Important Cultural Property designed by Tatsuno Kingo! Being able to bathe in a hot spring while feeling the history is just too luxurious! 4. Enjoy it as a set with Saga gourmet food! After enjoying the hot springs, the way connoisseurs spend their time is to enjoy Saga beef and Ureshino tea! The combination of melting beef and refreshing tea after the hot spring is the height of bliss! You just have to go! Let's go to Takeo Onsen! Takeo Onsen is located right next to Takeo Onsen Station on the Nagasaki Main Line! What's more, it is also easily accessible via the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen bullet train! It's also a great idea to combine it with sightseeing in Saga and Nagasaki! You have to go! Come enjoy the ultimate healing experience at Takeo Onsen, which boasts 1,300 years of history and the strongest skin-beautifying effects!!

Takeo Onsen is located in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. Takeo Onsen is known for its impressive Sakuramon Gate. As a hot spring town, there are many hotels and public baths. This time, I went through the Sakuramon Gate and went to Motoyu, which is located in front! The temperature of the room and bathtub changes depending on your mood that day 🙆♀️ I visited after visiting Karatsu Kunchiya, Yutoku Inari Shrine, and other places, so I washed away the fatigue of the day in the hot spring ♨️ #FuritabiWinter #Saga #SagaTourism #SagaTrip #TakeoOnsen
