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 that fills the hall and the serene atmosphere of prayer.
 

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 renowned 'Tiger's Tail Cherry Blossom,' counted among the five cherry trees 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. Depending on the mood of the customers that day, the guide will suggest special restaurants.

Like Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, this unique architecture built on a steep 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 conclusion of your journey takes you to the main shrine of Aizu, which has a history of over 2000 years.
As you step into the vast grounds, you are enveloped in a pure 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."
