Enjoy a healthy lunch prepared using traditional hot spring steam on the Shimabara Peninsula, an area shaped by active volcanic activity. Cook your meal with natural geothermal steam from Obama Onsen, known for having the highest source temperature in Japan at 105°C, and experience a unique local food culture powered by the earth itself. The steam cooking experience begins with shopping for ingredients, just like the locals do. Visit neighborhood supermarkets or direct sales depots and select fresh, seasonal produce with support from your guide-driver, adding an authentic local touch to the experience. Sightseeing during the day is flexible and can be adjusted based on your interests and pace. Your guide-driver will suggest routes and hidden spots that are difficult to reach on your own, offering a personalized journey made possible by a chartered taxi.
