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 and the serene atmosphere of prayer that fills the hall.
Hoyoji Temple (Three-Story Pagoda and Tora no O Sakura)
Visit this famous temple and 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 'Tora no O Sakura,' counted among the five cherry blossoms of Aizu, blooms beautifully, adding color to this historic temple.
Misato Town Lunch (Guided according to your preferences)
Lunch during your historical exploration is flexible! From beloved local gourmet specialties to cozy cafes converted from old houses, and fragrant soba noodles. Our guide will suggest the perfect restaurant based on your mood that day.
Sakudari Kannon
Like Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, this unique architecture built on a steep cliff, known as "Kakezukuri," offers a breathtaking view.
The dynamic landscape of the hall, integrated with the natural rock face, and the panoramic nature spread at your feet, is so impressive that it takes your breath away.
Isasumi Shrine
The conclusion of your journey is at Aizu's main shrine, which has a history of over 2000 years.
As you step into the vast grounds, you are enveloped in a pure air that makes your spine straighten.
While enjoying the cherry blossoms blooming in the spring at the "Iris Garden," let's refresh both body and mind.
