Up to Obama - Abandoned vacation homes and Obama's water

The original plan was to find someplace nice to swim.  Easier said than done when most of them seem to be lined with concrete.  The road we were on brought us to a popular swimming area accompanied with touristy things.  Popular twenty years ago maybe. And, those touristy things are all abandoned now.  Probably because what little swimming one could do was relegated to this small pool-

Across the road was this eerie looking road with obvious abandoned houses up the hill so up I ran and left Yukino behind-

First up is this place-

Inside was a quite secure place that allowed no entry-

Next door-

Hmm, a company get away perhaps? I have tried incredibly hard to find out about the company but have come up with nothing.

Yup! It looks as if it had been used only a few times.  What a waste-

Downstairs-

Next door was...... a Lotus 7.  Kind of out of place....

But there was more!

The roads went up but I had already left Yukino alone for a while and I was out of breath by running all over the place.  Back at the bottom though there were plenty of abandoned inns to keep my interested though-

We drove and drove and decided to stay somewhere for the night.  Obama was on the map and it was quirky enough for me for want to stay at.  Plus, it was in a prefecture I had yet to visit (tick). We had arrived about an hour before sunset and were able to breath in the fresh air-

A sure sign you are in Obama, Japan-
