Product Info
- Aizu Sazaedo
Located on Mt. Iimori in Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Aizu Sazaedo is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property built in 1796. Officially known as Entsu Sansodo, the building features a unique double-helix structure with separate paths for ascending and descending, which is rare worldwide. It is said that in the past, one could complete a pilgrimage to the 33 Kannon statues by walking through the building. Its creative architectural structure and historical background make it one of Aizu's most representative attractions. You can experience this mysterious architectural space while walking along the spiral path.
- Tsuruga Castle
Known as the symbol of Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Tsuruga Castle is a famous castle with a history of approximately 630 years. It is known for enduring a fierce battle that lasted about a month during the Boshin War, and the current castle tower was rebuilt in 1965. The red-tiled tower, which reproduces its appearance from the end of the Edo period, is said to be the only one of its kind among existing castle towers in Japan and is a symbol of Aizu's history. Inside the tower, you can learn about the history of Aizu, and from the top floor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Aizu-Wakamatsu cityscape.
- Ouchi-juku Snow Festival
The Ouchi-juku Snow Festival is held in Ouchi-juku, which retains the atmosphere of an Edo-period post town. With the snow-covered thatched-roof houses as a backdrop, snow lanterns and illuminations create a magical winter scene. At night, the beautiful landscape woven by snow and light spreads out, allowing you to enjoy a special atmosphere as if you had traveled back in time to the Edo period. It is a popular event where you can fully enjoy the unique winter charms of Aizu, featuring traditional performances and fireworks.
