Nakada Kannon (Koanji Temple)

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.

Hoyoji Temple (Three-Story Pagoda and Tiger's Tail Cherry Blossom)

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.
