#wecreate #japan Ouchi-juku was developed as a post town on the Shimotsuke Highway connecting Aizuwakamatsu castle town and Imaichi-juku during the Edo period. Since the Meiji era, railroads and national highways have largely been detoured, so the scenery of the olden days still remains, and people live their lives unchanged throughout the four seasons. *Currently, each house runs a restaurant, a guest house, a souvenir shop, a cafe, etc. Please contact each store directly for business hours.#japan

Hanamiyama Park Address: 17 Torihara, Fukushima, Fukushima Prefecture I was traveling with my mother and her colleagues on this trip, and of course I had to take care of their needs, so I found this Hanamiyama Park in Fukushima and took them for a walk to see the flowers and take pictures. From JR Fukushima Station, change to bus No. 8 to Hanamiyama and get off, which is about ten minutes away, which is very convenient. Although the time of visit is mid-May, can not catch the tail of the cherry blossom season, but it does not matter, because in addition to cherry blossoms, Hanamiyama will basically always bloom in clusters of flowers all year round, such as plum blossoms, Licorices, hydrangeas, heavenly lilies, and colorful azaleas. In addition, some non-native trees and plants are sporadically planted throughout the park. You can get the intelligence information of the park and the map in the case first. There are quite a few forks in Hanamiyama. If you walk really carefully and slowly, you can really spend most of the day. #Japan Attractions #Fukushima Attractions #Flower Viewing Places #Hanamiyama Park

Unplan trip to Hanamomo-no-Sato!! You all know , I don’t like crowded place and always try to look out for peaceful and remote places doesn’t matter how far I need to work 😆😆!!

I need to take train from Sendai to Fukushima by JR line ( covered by JR pass ) , then change to local private line called Iizaka railway- 370 ¥ one way (cute and very old local private train line - solely that small region) and took until terminal and walk about 20 mins to the place . But , they have small map to the place and along the road have signage to guide you the direction . When you are near, there were some volunteers guiding along the traffic. It was really local small place to enjoy late flowers . It will be very beautiful in few days time , even now was beautiful to me . Some colourful cherry plus peach flowers combined and the mountains background make me paradise!! And you don’t need to pay anything . They sell some local delicacies and I enjoy some tea and walk around , sat down and enjoy flowers and walked back to the station. It took me half day. And also a good place to have picnic with family or friends.See you all on the other side of the world 🌎🤭!! #Japn #naturelover #solotravel
