- Aizu Sazaedo
The Aizu Sazaedo, located on Iimoriyama in Aizuwakamatsu City, is a nationally designated important cultural property built in 1796. Its official name is "Entsu Sansodo," and the building features a unique double helix structure, rare in the world, where visitors ascend and descend through different passages. It is said that in the past, one could complete a pilgrimage to the 33 Kannon statues by walking through the building, and its original architectural structure and historical background make it one of Aizu's most representative sights. Visitors can actually walk through the spiral passages and experience this不思議な (mysterious/unusual) architectural space.
- Tsuruga Castle
Tsuruga Castle, known as a symbol of Aizuwakamatsu City, is a famous castle with a history of approximately 630 years. It is known as a castle that withstood a fierce battle lasting about a month during the Boshin War, and the current keep was rebuilt in 1965. The red-tiled keep, which recreates the appearance of the castle during the late Edo period, is said to be the only existing castle keep in Japan and is a symbol of Aizu's history. Inside the keep, you can learn about Aizu's history, and from the top floor you can enjoy a panoramic view of Aizuwakamatsu city.
- Ouchi-juku Snow Festival
The Ouchi-juku Snow Festival is held in Ouchi-juku, a post town that still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period. Against the backdrop of the snow-covered thatched-roof townscape, snow lanterns and illuminations create a fantastical winter scene. At night, a beautiful landscape unfolds as snow and lights intertwine, allowing visitors to enjoy a special atmosphere that makes them feel as if they have traveled back in time to the Edo period. Traditional events and fireworks are also held, making it a popular event where you can fully enjoy the unique winter charm of Aizu.
