Heart, unwinding. Spring walk in Aizu, the Buddhist capital - After the prayer -

This Kannon is known for being visited every month by Shika, the mother of the world-renowned bacteriologist Hideyo Noguchi, who prayed for her son's recovery from burns and success in life. Let’s quietly connect our hearts with the deep love of a parent and the serene atmosphere of prayer that fills the hall.
 

Visit this famous temple where you can feel the weight of Aizu's history. The highlight is the dignified 'Three-Story Pagoda', the oldest wooden structure in Fukushima Prefecture.
In spring, the famous 'Tora no O Sakura', counted among the five cherry blossoms of Aizu, blooms beautifully, adding color to this historic temple.

Lunch during your historical exploration is flexible! From beloved local gourmet specialties to cozy cafes converted from old houses, and fragrant soba noodles. Based on the mood of the day, your guide will suggest special places to dine.

Like Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, this unique architecture built on a sheer cliff is known as "Kakezukuri".
The dynamic landscape of the hall, integrated with the natural rock surface, and the panoramic view of nature at your feet is breathtaking.

The culmination of your journey is at the Aizu Grand Shrine, which has a history of over 2000 years.
As you step into the vast grounds, you are enveloped in a refreshing air that straightens your back.
Let's refresh both body and mind while enjoying the cherry blossoms blooming in the spring at the "Iris Garden."
