[Tōnohetsuri]

The Okawa Line is the most beautiful spot in Okawa Hatori Prefectural Park. You can enjoy a landscape of rock formations that resemble works of art, sculpted by nature over a very long period of time. In autumn, the contrast between the colorful foliage and the white rocks is as beautiful as a painting, and the unique names given to each rock are another highlight.

Ouchi-juku

Ouchi-juku, located in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture, flourished during the Edo period as an important post town on the road connecting Aizuwakamatsu City and Nikko Imaichi. Even today, thatched-roof houses line the street, preserving the atmosphere of the Edo period, and people continue to live and work in these houses, which serve as both shops and residences.

[Tsuruga Castle Ruins Park]

Tsuruga Castle Ruins Park covers approximately 69,000 tsubo (about 225,000 square meters) and features reconstructions of buildings such as the main keep, castle tower, and tea house, centered around the main enclosure. The area inside the inner moat largely retains the layout from the time of the Boshin War and was designated a national historic site in 1934.

The park is home to approximately 1,000 Somei Yoshino cherry trees and has been selected as one of Japan's "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots." With numerous other planted trees, the park is enveloped in lush greenery from spring to summer. In autumn, the leaves change color, and in winter, visitors can admire Tsuruga Castle covered in snow. This historical park offers beautiful scenery throughout the year.

[Tsuchitsu Shrine]

The principal deity enshrined at Tsuchitsu Shrine, Hoshina Masayuki, was a great figure who rose from a difficult upbringing to an important position in the Edo shogunate through sheer effort. Based on Masayuki's teaching of "maintaining a righteous heart and upholding justice," the shrine is particularly revered for its blessings related to "the healthy growth of children" and "career advancement and success," and is cherished by many.
