Takeo Onsen boasts a wide variety of delicious gourmet foods. First and foremost, we recommend the Sagagyu beef, which has a beautiful marbling of fat within its tender red meat. The flavor of the fat is exceptional and it melts in your mouth the moment you take a bite. Another popular dish is the Wakakusapork, a brand of pork from Takeo that is tender, has no odor, and has a fine texture. In addition, we also recommend wild boar meat, which is rich in high-quality protein and vitamin B group.

こういう雰囲気の温泉は好み自分にとって建物が新しい、キレイは２の次落ち着く、清潔感がある、があればそれで良い元湯は本当に落ち着く雰囲気を持っていたあつ湯は、数度の差とは言え熱くて入ることができなかったぬる湯は、42℃程度でほどよい湯温だった昔ながらの風情をもった温泉だった（館内は撮影禁止だったので、館外から待合スペースの写真を撮影）

武雄温泉元湯・宝来湯共に料金は500円。早朝の6:30より元湯は夜23:45まで営業しています。ほぼ終日営業ですね。蓬莱湯はよる21:30までです。

入口の券売機で「蓬莱湯」or「元湯」のチケット@500円を購入できます。券売機の上には湯の温度が表示されています。入口でチケットを渡し入場。靴箱ロッカー無料、貴重品ロッカー無料、脱衣所ロッカー100円リターン式です。脱衣所までの通りが休憩所になっています。お風呂場は脱衣所から数段下がった場所にあるのでご老人の方は注意が必要ですね。床は滑ることなく安心して入れます。お風呂場は単純に洗い場(13席)と「あつ湯」と「ぬる湯」の２つの湯があるだけです。「あつ湯」は決して長湯は出来ませんが入浴するとピリピリっときて痺れる感じの熱さが気持ち良いですね。お湯は「弱アルカリ単純泉」他の方のレビューみたく、ぬるっと感は感じずさらっとしていて何度も顔を洗っているとツヤツヤな感じになってきます。そして無臭だと感じましたが、帰りの車の中で手の匂いを嗅ぐとほんのり硫黄臭を感じました。建物は明治9年に建築となっていますが木造部等綺麗な処からして改修されているのでしょうね。まぁSimple is Bestの湯でした。個人的には元湯は効能的なものは感じにくく思います。お湯に強い主張的なものが感じにくくその点惜しいですね。
