-Attraction Introduction-

• Lake Inawashiro covers approximately 100 square kilometers and stands out in Japan, appearing as vast as the ocean at first glance. Its most distinctive feature is its crystal-clear waters, earning it the nickname "Sky Mirror Lake," meaning a lake reflecting the blue sky.
  
  
• The Inawashiro Strawberry Farm in front of Michi-no-Ekima cultivates strawberry varieties that ripen year-round, harvesting in both summer and autumn, and are known as summer-autumn strawberries. From the greenhouse's front, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent Mount Bandai and appreciate the rich natural beauty of Inawashiro. The greenhouse is predominantly white and utilizes advanced environmental management technology to store and analyze data on temperature, humidity, and sunlight, creating the optimal environment for strawberry cultivation and resulting in sweeter and more delicious strawberries.
  *The strawberry farm is closed periodically. If the farm is closed, you will be taken to a nearby strawberry farm or other orchard. Please take note.
  
  
• Abukuma Cave, a world of fantastical beauty sculpted over countless years, stretches 600 meters and boasts a vast array of stalactites and stalagmites, making it arguably the premier cave in the Orient. Many attractions are worth seeing, including the largest cave within the cave, "Takine Palace," and "Moon World," a stage-like lighting system used for the first time in a Japanese stalactite cave. We welcome you to fully enjoy this wondrous and moving underground fantasy world.
  
  
• The Tamura City Star Culture Museum is located in Takine-cho, Tamura City, nestled in the lush natural environment of the Abukuma Mountains. With its fresh air and lack of light pollution from the city center, it's an excellent spot for stargazing. The three-story building, standing 16 meters tall, houses exhibition halls on the first floor, administration offices on the second, and a 6.5-meter diameter semi-circular observatory on the third. The observatory's most impressive feature is its 650mm diameter reflecting telescope, the largest in Fukushima Prefecture. The celestial phenomena observed by pointing the telescope are displayed on a constellation chart via a computer system.
