[2025 Aizuwakamatsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Castle Tower Local Museum of Wakamatsu Castle (Updated Mar)

Aizuwakamatsu Castle is also known as Tsuruga Castle. Beef souvenirs can be bought everywhere here. It is said that beef can ward off evil spirits and cure diseases. It is a local toy of Aizu. When you come here, you will see a shop selling Taiyaki and Matcha soft serve ice cream. No matter how cold the weather is, almost everyone will have one. The Matcha flavor is strong and bitter. Vanilla is more suitable for children!

# ancient building Aizuwakamatsu Castle is located in Fukushima Prefecture in northeastern Japan. It is one of the top 100 famous cities in Japan. This castle with a long history is the only castle in Japan where you can see red tiles, showing the style of the 17th century. During the Boshin War in 1868, Aizuwakamatsu Castle was able to hold on to the castle for about a month in the face of fierce attacks by the new government troops. This period of history earned the castle the reputation of being "difficult to capture." There is a museum inside the castle tower that displays the history and culture of Aizuwakamatsu Castle. Looking from the top floor, you can see the mountains in the distance blending into the urban buildings, giving you a panoramic view of the entire castle town. The charm of Aizuwakamatsu Castle lies not only in its history and architecture, but also in the changing seasons. In spring, there will be 1,000 cherry blossom trees in bloom in the park🌸. I hope to have the opportunity to visit again during the cherry blossom season. 📸Attraction: Aizu Wakamatsu Castle 📍Address: 1-1 Otte-cho, Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture 💰Visiting fee: [Tsuruga Castle Castle Admission Fee] 410 yen for adults; 150 yen for children #日本 northeast #fukushima #japantravel

For those who love the history of the Warring States Period, Hecheng is an embarrassing place. It is an important stage for many battles. Of course, it will inevitably suffer many injuries. The Tianshouge Tower was built in 7 floors. After being converted into a 5th floor in 1639, it was destroyed in the Wuchen War, and then restored in 1965. Only the wall of the Tianshou Lord remained in the same year. Hundreds of years of ruling by the ruler made Aizu Wakamatsu a veritable warrior city, and the White Tigers tragedy in the last years of the Shogunate showed the Bushido spirit to the extreme. In the end of the Edo period, the army that had fallen in the past had taken an absolute advantage. The forces of the old shogunate were constantly defeated in various places. Eventually, the war was ignited to Aizu, and the leader of Aizu, Song Pingrong, was a bloody Fang Gang, and he wanted to be a Bushido in his heart. In the end, they never surrendered, and organized an army of 16 to 17-year-olds, known as the "White Tigers." They shouldered the enthusiasm of the lord, the parents, the blind date, and invested in this unsuccessful tragedy. Unsurprisingly, the front line was defeated, and Aizu fell on three sides. The 20 members of the "White Tigers" stationed in Maishengshan saw a fire in Hecheng, thinking that the city had been broken and the monarch was killed. So all of them squandered the Lord on the top of the mountain.
