Miketsukuni Wakasa Obama Food Museum

The Wakasa Obama Food Culture Museum traces the food history of Obama, a port city that supplied Kyoto with mackerel via the Mackerel Road for centuries. The ground floor has food model exhibits and a game about the Mackerel Road route, while the Kitchen Studio offers hands-on cooking classes in Japanese dishes. The second floor hosts the Wakasa Workshop for traditional crafts including Japanese paper, Wakasa lacquer chopsticks, and agate stonework, with local craftspeople working on-site. The neighboring restaurant Hama no shiki serves regional Obama cuisine, and on the third floor a public bath looks out over Wakasa Bay. The museum is open to school groups and general visitors for food education programs.
