Visit the beautiful retro gate designed by Kingo Tatsuno ♨️

The Takeo Onsen Tower Gate in Saga Prefecture is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property designed by Tatsuno Kingo, the architect who also designed Tokyo Station.
The vibrant vermilion tower gate is beautiful, like a fusion of Japanese and Chinese traditions.
At night, it is lit up, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
When you pass through the tower gate, you will find yourself in a historic hot spring town.
The waters of Takeo Onsen are also famous for their beauty benefits, and you can enjoy them at your leisure in the public baths.
After taking a relaxing bath in the hot spring, be sure to try the specialty "onsen yudofu" while strolling through the hot spring town 😊
