It figures that in a town with 1,300 years of history, a landmark opened in 1914 should be called the “new building”. This designated national treasure was designed by Tatsuno Kingo (辰野 金吾) of Tokyo Station fame. It is no longer operational as a bath house and serves as a museum showcasing some unusual tiled roman baths. Check out the Romon (楼門) and sample some tofu dishes (or soy milk ice cream) in the new building opposite. The town itself has seen better days, but may still be worth a stop while switching trains between Nagasaki and Fukuoka.
