Welcome to Fukushima Prefecture!⁠

Explore the traditional post town of Ouchi-juku. 300-year-old houses with thatched roofs lie in a peaceful mountain setting.

Admire the kaleidoscopic hues of Goshikinuma, a collection of around 30 lakes and ponds, where the colour of the water changes with the seasons, weather and angle of view. Volcanic activity deposited minerals into the water in the area creating this spectacular natural phenomenon.
 
Ponder ancient times at Tsurugajo Castle. Learn about the castle’s history and the way of the samurai of the Aizu region in the Edo Period. 

Then stop off for matcha green tea at the Rinkaku Teahouse in the surrounding park.

Snap a photo of the iconic No. 1 Tadami River Bridge. The hardest part is picking which season to visit!

Discover traditional crafts in the Aizu region such as Akabeko (red cattle), a folk toy and popular souvenir that is also considered a lucky charm. You can paint your own in a hands-on workshop or find them for sale at shops throughout the area.
 
The town of Kitakata is known for Kitakata ramen which is characterised by thick, wavy noodles served in a soy-based broth. Why not experience the local custom of having it for breakfast, known as ‘asa-ra’ (morning ramen)?
