#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.

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.

Mount Issaikyo rises in Urabandai between Fukushima City and Inawashiro Town in Fukushima Prefecture. It is an active volcano with an elevation of 1,949m, and as its name suggests, it is said to have originated in Buddhism. Looking down from the summit of Mount Issaikyo is the dazzling lapis lazuli pond, commonly known as the Witch's Eye. Please note that this is different from the Goshikinuma pond in Inawashiro, Urabandai. The Witch's Eye surrounded by autumn leaves was a breathtaking sight! In front of Issaikyozan stands Azuma-Kofuji, about 1,700m above sea level. This is a dormant volcano and you can walk around the crater. It takes about 2 hours from the trailhead, Jododaira Visitor Center, to the summit. It's a perfect beginner's course for a day trip, so I recommend it. Photo on Oct 12th 2023 This is called 'Goshiki-numa pond ', which is a volcanic lake and also well-known as 'the Witch's Eyes', looking off from the peak of Mt. Issai-Kyozan that situated in near Lake Inawashiro, Fukushima prefecture, the TOHOKU region of Japan with 1,949m above sea level. A stunningly-azure lake with the peak of fall foliage perfectly made me feel touched when I visited in the clear sky without cloud and wind. Made me so happy. In the 2nd photo it is Mountain Azuma-Kofuji located next to Issai-Kyozan with the fall foliage that We walked from the Ibagahara Flat on the way to the start of a trail up to Issai-Kyozan. #tripdomestictravel #FukushimaPrefecture #autumnleaves #greatview

Azuma Sports Park in Fukushima Prefecture is a beautiful place during the fall when the leaves change color. The leaves change into beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow, giving the park a breathtaking atmosphere. Enjoy taking pictures. The temperature can drop during October to early November, so dress appropriately. #AutumnTravel #fukushima #japan #100TravelTips

There is a world outside of Japan. You can get there by car, and there's no need to climb a mountain. It's a place you should visit at least once in your life. The autumn leaves are beautiful at this time of year, and it's also known as Tengu's garden. The road will be closed for the winter in mid-November, so now is your last chance to go this year, and if you miss it, you won't be able to go again until around May. There are also hot springs nearby where you can soothe your tired body, so I recommend going there. Takayu Onsen in particular is known as a beauty bath and is definitely worth a dip in.

Great view and onsen. #onsen #fukushima

#japantrip #japan #fukushima Fukushima is a prefecture of deep contrasts, resilience, and natural beauty. While it is often associated with the 2011 earthquake and nuclear disaster, there is so much more to this region. It has made incredible strides in recovery, symbolizing the strength and spirit of its people. Beyond its history, Fukushima offers stunning landscapes, from the tranquil lakes of Urabandai to the picturesque Mount Azuma. The region is also rich in cultural heritage, with historic samurai towns like Aizu-Wakamatsu, known for its castle and traditional crafts. Fukushima’s hot springs (onsen) provide a peaceful escape, and its seasonal beauty is remarkable—especially during cherry blossom season and autumn, when the foliage transforms the countryside into a sea of color. In my view, Fukushima is a testament to renewal, blending its natural splendor, deep traditions, and a bright future. It's a place worth exploring for anyone interested in Japan's culture, landscapes, and the strength of its people.
