【Walking the Ancient Path in the Sky】 The breathtaking seasonal views and historical hiking of 'Tsumamatsu Pass'

The 'Tsumamatsu Pass' connects Aizusakashita Town and Nishi-Aizu Town in Fukushima Prefecture. Once a difficult point on the Echigo Highway frequented by many travelers, this pass is now cherished as an excellent hiking course where one can enjoy the breath of history and overwhelming views.

■ A hiking experience colored by the seasons and enjoyed with all five senses

Once you step in, you find yourself in a tranquil forest, detached from the hustle and bustle of the city.

• Colorful trails: In spring, the fresh green foliage, and in autumn, the fiery red leaves vividly color the moss-covered stone pavements and the remnants of ancient tea houses.
• Proof of history: In the Meiji era, the 'Tsumamatsu Tunnel' was painstakingly dug out by villagers, and the more you walk, the more you can feel the indomitable spirit of the people of Aizu.

■ A grand panorama overlooking the Aizu Basin at the summit

As you gain elevation and reach the viewpoint at the summit, what unfolds before you is the 'original landscape of Aizu' that blows away your fatigue.

• Exclusive seats in the sky: The panorama below, during the rice planting season, sparkles like a mirror, and in the fruitful autumn, reflects the golden earth.
• Contrast of breathtaking views: The clear blue sky and the majestic silhouette of the Iide Mountains in the distance. The scenery that changes its expression with each season is truly a 'treasure of Aizu' that you want to see at least once in your lifetime.

Why not embark on a soul-cleansing journey, feeling the breeze on this ridge where warriors and literary masters once paused?
