Inawashiro Course: Spring's Deepening and Historical Journey
The place that waited the longest for spring in Japan. A private tour for adults to explore spring from Inawashiro to Urabandai
A private tour to experience the 'deepening of spring in Fukushima' with a local guide, heading from Inawashiro in Fukushima to Urabandai.
Chasing the changing colors of cherry blossoms due to elevation differences, we visit the cherry blossom tunnel of Kannonji River, the 'Tsukiz Shrine' associated with the Aizu clan, and the classic Western-style building 'Tenkyokaku', where history and nature harmonize.
The climax is the 3,000 Ooyamazakura cherry trees that color the Urabandai Sakura Pass. We promise a luxurious day where history, culture, and natural beauty quietly blend together.

Schedule

Stroll along the cherry blossom trees of the Kanonji River
A tunnel of Somei Yoshino cherry trees stretching about 1km.
The contrast between the natural flow of the river, which is not bank-protected, and the cherry blossoms blooming on the embankment evokes the 'original scenery of Japan'.
Strolling while listening to the murmuring of the river is extremely soothing.
Totsuzuka Shrine
A historic shrine dedicated to the founder of the Aizu clan, Masayuki Hoshina.
From the pale cherry blossoms that stand out against the white torii gate to the vibrant new greenery full of life.
The beautiful contrast of nature changing with the seasons allows you to enjoy a stroll in a solemn atmosphere.
Close to the Kanonji River, it is a must-visit spot for history lovers, where you can experience both the depth of history and the beauty of nature.
Lunch: Enjoy fragrant soba made from Inawashiro buckwheat
Savor the fragrant 'soba' specialty of Inawashiro.
While soaking in the afterglow of the morning, take your time to enjoy the local flavors.
Enjoy the Inawashiro Lake area
Classic cherry blossom views at the Meiji-era Western-style building 'Tenkyokaku', the Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum, and the World Glass Museum.
Instead of rushing through everything, we will narrow down the spots you want to see according to your interests and pace for the day, allowing for a relaxed visit.
Ura-Bandai Cherry Blossom Pass
The climax of the tour. The sight of about 3,000 Ooyamazakura cherry trees dyeing the slopes pink is breathtaking.
Due to the high altitude, it often reaches full bloom during the GW period, making it a "late-blooming famous spot." The flowers have a deeper pink color than those in Inawashiro.
