Fukushima is a Story of Strength. Whether you are exploring the "Samurai City" of Aizu-Wakamatsu or the thatched-roof houses of Ouchijuku, you will find a region that honors its past while building a bright future.
Known as the "Samurai City," Aizu is home to Tsuruga Castle. This region was the site of the final stand of the samurai during the Boshin War, a history preserved at the Sazaedo Temple.
The **Bandai-Asahi National Park** is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. From the multi-colored lakes of **Goshiki-numa** to world-class skiing, Fukushima's volcanic landscape is breathtaking.
Fukushima is world-famous for its Peaches and Sake. It consistently wins the most gold medals at Japan's Annual Sake Awards, making it a "Grand Slam" stop for foodies.
Visit the **Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum** to understand the region's incredible progress. It is a powerful testament to human spirit and modern innovation.
