Spring Deepening and Historical Journey: Inawashiro Course
"The place that waited the longest for spring in Japan. An adult excursion to explore spring from Inawashiro to Urabandai"
This is a completely private tour where you will experience the "deepening of spring in Fukushima" with a local guide as you head from Inawashiro in Fukushima Prefecture to Urabandai.
Chasing the changing colors of cherry blossoms due to elevation differences, you will visit the cherry blossom tunnel of Kannonji River, the historic "Tsuchizujinja Shrine" related to the Aizu clan, and the classic Western-style building "Tenkyo-kaku", where history and nature harmonize at famous sites.
The climax is the 3,000 Ooyamazakura cherry trees that color Urabandai and Sakuratoge. We promise a luxurious day where history, culture, and natural beauty quietly blend together.

Stroll along the cherry blossom trees of Kannonji River
A tunnel of Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms stretching about 1km.
The contrast between the natural flow of the river, which is not embanked, and the cherry blossoms blooming on the riverbank evokes the 'original scenery of Japan'.
Strolling while listening to the murmuring of the river is incredibly soothing.
Tsuchizujinja 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 green full of life.
The beautiful contrast of nature that changes with the seasons allows you to enjoy a stroll in a solemn atmosphere.
Close to Kannonji River, this spot is irresistible for history lovers as it offers a deep sense of history and natural beauty.
Lunch: Enjoy fragrant soba made from Inawashiro's buckwheat flour
Savor the fragrant 'soba' specialty of Inawashiro.
While soaking in the afterglow of the morning, slowly enjoy the local flavors.
Fully enjoy the Inawashiro Lake area
Classic cherry blossom views at the Meiji-era Western-style building "Tenkyokaku," the Noguchi Hideyo Memorial Museum, and the World Glass Museum, among others.
Instead of rushing through everything, we will narrow down the spots you want to see based on your interests and pace for the day, allowing for a relaxed experience.
Urabandai - Sakura Pass
The climax of the tour. The sight of about 3,000 Ooyamazakura cherry trees coloring the slopes in pink is breathtaking.
Due to the high elevation, this "late-blooming famous spot" often reaches full bloom during the Golden Week. The flowers have a characteristic deep pink color, more vivid than those in Inawashiro.
We will provide pick-up and drop-off at your specified location, such as hotels.
