Learning History in Fukushima: The Site of the Byakkotai's Suicide

The Shinsengumi, often featured in historical novels, manga, and dramas, is related to the Byakkotai of Aizu-Wakamatsu. The Byakkotai was composed of boys aged 16 to 17, and their tragic end through suicide has been passed down in various forms. I visited this poignant site. Thinking about how these young boys saw the castle burning from here and decided to take their own lives is heart-wrenching. However, the place offers a very scenic view, so even those not interested in history should consider visiting.
