Fukushima Aizuwakamatsu City
Stay in Higashiyama Onsen
Known as Aizu’s secluded retreat, this is a representative onsen resort in Fukushima Prefecture with a history spanning 1,300 years since its discovery. It has been loved by many cultural figures, including Yumeji Takehisa and Akiko Yosano. The scenery of historic wooden ryokan lining the riverside is deeply atmospheric, and it is also close to Aizu’s historic sightseeing spots such as Tsuruga Castle and Ouchijuku. Because visitors can experience the traditional culture of Samurai City Aizu together with an authentic onsen atmosphere, it has become extremely popular among international travelers with a strong interest in Japan’s deep history and culture.
