Hearts unwind. Spring walk in Aizu, the Buddhist capital - After the prayer -

Aizumisato Town, the birthplace of Aizu Buddhist culture, is alive with a deep history of faith.  
We propose a tranquil day visiting the Kannon that Dr. Hideyo Noguchi's mother prayed to, a mysterious hall built on a sheer cliff, and a historic shrine that serves as Aizu's main guardian.  
Surrounded by the soft scenery unique to spring, such as the famous "Tora no Ozakura" cherry blossom, enjoy an adult historical exploration tracing the prayers of ancient people. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and spend a special time where "hearts unwind".

Nakata 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 and the serene atmosphere of prayer that fills the hall.
