At Kuriyama Station, the transfer station to Aizuwakamatsu, I smelled the smell of bread from a bakery as soon as I arrived at the station, and I couldn’t help but buy two kinds of bread This bakery has been completely decorated in a Halloween atmosphere, very cute. Highly recommend the coffee hazelnut flavored layer cake, rich and crispy. The other chocolate🍫 rings are equally excellent, crispy crust wrapped in chocolate. For everyone who wants to take a long-distance bus and want to satisfy their hunger 📍Tohoku Japan - Kuniyama Station #郡山

There were hundreds of cherry trees planted on both sides of the river, and it was really beautiful. If you cross the road to the other side, the cherry trees continue all the way from the bridge, making it the perfect spot for photos. It was my first time there, but I never knew there was a place like this nearby! I was so impressed✨ It's in full bloom~ The weather is nice, so it's a great day for a walk The flowers fall without any hesitation I was able to go and see them at just the right time. #sakura #Koriyama #Fujitagawafureai

Mushroom Rock (Adatara Mountain Area) 📍 Motomiya City to Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture Located in the Adatara Mountain area of Fukushima Prefecture, "Mushroom Rock" is a natural sculpture where a large rock has been shaped like a mushroom over time. This unique formation was created through years of erosion by wind and rain, making it a true masterpiece of nature!

Tips: - Wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for hiking. - Be cautious as the rock may become slippery depending on the weather and season. 🌿 A Journey to Nature’s Wonders 🌿 Mushroom Rock is a special spot where you can experience the rich natural beauty of Fukushima.

#springitinerary It was a perfect place for a walk as it was well maintained. The view from the hilltop where the ancient tomb is recreated is amazing, and the breeze coming in from the river is refreshing. The exhibits, which span from the Jomon to Kofun periods, are easy to understand. It's even easier to understand if you ask a volunteer to explain things to you. There are plenty of playground equipment for children outside. You can make magatama for 500 yen, and try making fire for free, without making a reservation.

Aika, formerly a fruit shop in Koriyama with a 40-year history, has been transformed by its owner—an avid whiskey and toy collector—into a bar specializing in fruit cocktails and rare whiskey (available by the glass). Within a few years, it has become a popular spot for second or third rounds in Koriyama, often packed between 9 PM and 11 PM. Highly recommended are the visually appealing and delicious honeydew melon cocktail slush and salted watermelon cocktail. Whiskey enthusiasts can savor single glasses of rare Japanese whiskeys like Hibiki 21 Years and Yamazaki 18 Years here. How can you not fall in love with Fukushima (Koriyama)? x5 Store Name: Aíka Location: 2-7-14 Ekimae, Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, 1F Business Hours: 4:00 PM - 12:00 AM

#cherryblossom25 The Benishidare Jizo cherry tree is one of those stand there and stare for 10 minutes kind of spots. It’s a massive weeping cherry with these long, flowy branches covered in soft pink blossoms that just cascade down like nature’s version of a curtain. Super graceful, super peaceful, just pure vibes. It’s not some huge park or anything, but that’s what makes it cool. You roll up and there’s this one stunning tree doing all the work. There’s a little jizo statue underneath tiny guardian monk energy, and it just adds this calm, almost spiritual feel to the scene. Perfect for a quick stop that turns into a slow, quiet moment. Bring a camera or just chill and take it all in. You don’t need a crowd or fireworks when a single tree looks this good. Seriously, this tree is the definition of less is more.

#0yentrip Koriyama City is one of the largest cities in Fukushima. It is located in a building directly connected to Koriyama Station, the central station. When you go up the elevator, the view of the city spreads out before you, and it's a great view. There are few people and it's great that you can enter for free. Why not go there while you're waiting for a train?

Takayashiki Inari Shrine has the same torii gates as Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto. Although there are not as many as 800 torii gates, it is still as majestic as before! The most special thing here is that you can feed black-bone chickens! ! The staff gave us rice and bread to feed, and the children loved it! Living in the city, I had no idea that black-bone chickens have white feathers. This is really an eye-opener!

It's in a super convenient location, just a 3-minute walk from the west exit of Koriyama Station. The hotel itself has a luxurious feel, and the rooms were clean and very comfortable. The bathroom and toilet are separate, which is also a good point. There was a sofa, or rather a bench, but the fact that it was simple was a bit of a disappointment. Other than that, it was great. 1. Hotel and staff: Very good 2. Hotel type: City hotel 3. Transportation and access 3 minutes walk from the west exit of Koriyama Station 4.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 This time I came to Koriyama in Fukushima Prefecture. I originally just wanted to stop by, but I didn't expect to discover the unique charm of this city. Koriyama is not as bustling and prosperous as Tokyo or Kyoto, but because of this, its tranquility and simplicity make people feel the real daily life in Japan. First sight of Koriyama: a combination of city and nature I took the Shinkansen to Koriyama Station. The area around the station was more lively than I had imagined, with complete commercial facilities, but if I walked a little further, I could feel the leisurely atmosphere of the city. The air in Koriyama in winter is fresh, the streets are not crowded, and the mountains in the distance are covered with snow, giving the whole city a healing feel. Rich in natural attractions: Lake Inawashiro and Mt. Bandai This time I went to Lake Inawashiro, the fourth largest lake in Japan. In winter, the lake reflects the snowy scenery of Mount Bandai, which is as beautiful as a postcard! If you come here in winter, you can also see flocks of swans spending the winter there. It is particularly therapeutic to watch them floating quietly on the lake. In summer, this place is suitable for water activities or camping. Mount Bandai is a paradise for mountaineering enthusiasts. Although I didn't challenge it this time due to lack of time, I saw many ski resorts along the way and felt that it would be great to ski there in winter. If it is autumn, the red leaves here are even more amazing! History and Culture: Daanchang Historic Park If you are interested in history, Daanchang Historic Park is also worth a visit. This is one of the largest ancient tombs in the Tohoku region. You can learn about the ancient Japanese lifestyle and experience making magatama (ancient ornaments) yourself. Local food: Must-try Fukushima ramen When you come to Fukushima Prefecture, you must try Kitakata ramen. Although Kitakata City is the authentic birthplace, the ramen restaurants in Koriyama are also of high quality. I went to eat at the famous local "Menya Osuka". Their soy sauce ramen soup is refreshing and not greasy, and paired with handmade thick noodles, it is simple but very layered. In addition, Fukushima's fried pork cutlet rice bowl (ソースカツ丼) is also recommended. The crispy fried pork cutlet is paired with sweet and salty sauce, which is super satisfying! Summary: A Northeastern city worth savoring slowly Koriyama may not be a popular tourist city, but its natural beauty, history, culture and food make people feel the simple and authentic Japanese style. If I had the chance to come back, I would like to try the hiking trails on Mount Bandai or enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom in the spring. For travelers who like to avoid the crowds and experience local life, Koriyama is definitely a place worth visiting!

Auberge Suzukane, a hidden detached inn in Bandai Atami Onsen, is truly a hideaway. The spacious two-story guest rooms are spacious enough to accommodate two families, and because they are independent, you can spend a very quiet and luxurious time. There are few guests, so it feels like a private space, which is its charm. And what was most impressive of all was the exquisite food that you would expect from an auberge! The dishes, which made use of local ingredients, were both delicious and beautiful, and we were constantly impressed. If you want to enjoy an exquisite stay that will refresh both body and mind, be sure to visit. The best time surrounded by silence and fine food awaits you! #0yentravelnovember #Fukushima #Fukushimahotel
