Fukushima Essentials

Fukushima's landscape is shaped by the volcanic peaks of Mount Bandai and Mount Adatara, alongside the expansive waters of Lake Hibara. The region preserves its feudal heritage through the reconstructed towers of Wakamatsu Castle and the stone fortifications of Nihonmatsu and Komine Castles. In Ouchi-juku, a former post station, traditional thatched-roof buildings remain intact from the Edo period. Natural scenery extends into Nikko National Park, while the city of Iwaki hosts the expansive hot spring facilities of Spa Resort Hawaiians.
