Obama Nishi-gumi is a very emotional district where Obama, once flourishing as Wakasa's political and economic center, preserves old townscapes, historic restaurants, and temples from the Edo period. Walking slowly through beautiful streets making you feel history's weight brings deep taste and emotion as if time-tripping to the Edo era. Spend an intellectual, luxurious holiday touching traditional Japanese architectural beauty.
