A campaign website is now open for the fall of 2021 to enjoy the diverse charms of Wakasa Obama, including its satoumi, satoyama, and town.
There are also special events that can only be experienced now, such as the "Obama Autumn Colors Romantic Cruise" to watch the sunset over Wakasa Bay from the best spot on the sea, and "Autumn Temple and Shrine Special Viewing" where Buddhist temples and shrines are open to the public that cannot normally be seen.
In addition, the "Obama AI Bus," which will be in operation only this fall, will allow you to go where you want to go when you want to go, at your own pace. This fall, visit Wakasa-Obama, where a peaceful time flows.

Staying at an "inn with a view of the sea," you can watch the waves lapping against the shore from the window of your room or take a walk along the sandy beach. As you enjoy the sound of the waves as you gaze out over the calm cove, your body and soul will be released. If you are of the generation that spent your childhood swimming in the sea in this area, now is the time to enjoy the ocean in an adult way.
One is to taste fresh seafood. There are new brand-name fish such as Obama yobari saba (mackerel) and mahata, a phantom luxury fish, and recently new sensations such as boats with boats and bowls of rice topped with seafood with innovative tare sauce have appeared. Also recommended is the "Sodomon Tour," a cruise ship that offers a spectacular view of Wakasa Bay. On the sunset cruise, which sails only this fall, you may be impressed to see the beautiful scenery of the sun setting over the interwoven landscape of sea and mountains. If you notice, you may imagine what the sunrise will be like. I find myself imagining what the sunrise will be like. As you become more energetic, you may also become a little greedy.

　The "inn at the foot of the mountain" that made Obama, which has a strong impression of the Sea of Japan, seem so, allows you to experience the rice and vegetables grown in Obama's beautiful water and the "air" of this land. Tasting seasonal things freshly is the best part of local production for local consumption, which leads to deliciousness. Above all, the breakfast served in the guest hall of Meitsuji Temple, a national treasure, turns the usually noisy morning into "a delicious time to start the day," and makes you feel that silence is luxury. And, as you tour the historic temples remaining in Obama's satoyama, you will encounter beautiful Buddhist statues. As you are guided to the inner sanctum, which is usually difficult to enter, and listen to the priest explain in person the origin of the temple, you will become more and more intrigued by the charm of Obama's ancient temples and want to come back again and again.

Pilgrimage Tour of Eight Temples

The "Obama AI Operated Bus," which will operate free of charge for a limited time, will allow visitors to tour eight temples (Mantokuji, Kokubunji, Myotsuji, Hagaji, Enshoji, Myorakuji, Jinguji, and Tadaji) among existing temples and shrines in Obama City, focusing on old temples designated as national treasures or important cultural properties by the state or city. By selecting the place they want to go on their smartphone, the artificial intelligence (AI) will provide the most appropriate car dispatch according to the user's request, allowing them to go to their favorite temple at the time of their choice.
Operating period: September 18 - November 30 (scheduled) Operating hours: 9:00 - 17:00

Staying at the "old private house hotel" located in Sanchocho-machi, a former teahouse town, you will encounter "history and culture that live on in Obama," such as the old-fashioned box staircase and thick beams. When you go for a walk, you will be immersed in a nostalgic atmosphere, feeling the Kyoto culture, such as the Bengara latticework. Visitors can also experience traditional crafts, including a fun experience of making Wakasa-nuri chopsticks. In addition, this year, the "Furukawaya Villa," an Edo period building associated with Kitamae-ship, was newly reborn as an open space with a coffee stand. Visitors can relax while admiring the garden, which was also viewed by Obama's feudal lord. If you want to know more about Obama, you may want to stay in the town and take a stroll.
