Nihonmatsu Castle in Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. I went there around 4:30pm, but there was no one there. Or rather, it was pitch black. I was scared so I ran along the way, but there were quite a few mountain monkeys!! It was a pretty tough climb, and I thought it would have been hard to take the castle, but it seems they attacked from behind and it fell. #Outdoor

Nihonmatsu Shrine This shrine is located at 1-61 Honmachi, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. The nearest station is JR East Tohoku Main Line Nihonmatsu Station, about a 5-minute walk away. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, so insect repellent is a must. The annual lantern festival in October is famous, so I wanted to see it at least once. This year's annual festival will be shortened to two days, October 2nd and 3rd, and will be held on a smaller scale. #Fukushima #Summer trip

Nihonmatsu Station/Nihonmatsu City Tourist Information Center A JR East Tohoku Main Line station located in Honmachi 2-chome, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. The current station building was built in 1976, and in 2002 it was selected as one of the 100 best stations in Tohoku. I got a manhole card and a nearby tourist information paper at the tourist information center to the right just after exiting the ticket gate. *On weekdays, this type of manhole card is distributed at a different location, the Fukushima Adatara Seiryu Center (2-96 Enokido, Nihonmatsu City). In front of the station was the statue of the Nihonmatsu Boy Corps soldier, "Kasumijo no Tachikaze." #Fukushima #StationBuilding #LocalCard #SummerShortTrip

One of the best parts of a highway road trip is checking out the service areas. They're not just for restroom pit stops; they're great places to discover the local area ♥ For some reason, there's an Ultraman at this service area, and the moment I walked in, I was like, "Whoa!!" Even the vending machines were adorable, so I couldn't help but snap a pic 📷️. Why is there an Ultraman? If anyone knows the details, please enlighten me 🙇 The real charm of this service area is that it's absolutely packed with the region's best features. ① Akabeko (Red Cow) Goods Colorful ones, Shinkansen 🚄 collabs, milk 🥛 collabs, and more! There were even gacha machines, and before I knew it, I had bought five of them 😅 They also had things that would make great gifts 🎁, like Akabeko cookies. It's basically a holy land for Akabeko fans 😂 ② Fukushima Prefecture Support Pokémon: Chansey Goods Chansey's 🐣 Egg 🍮 Pudding Miyagi Prefecture has Lapras, but Fukushima's official support Pokémon is Chansey ♥ I’d love to visit Chansey Park ⛲️ someday, but if you can't make it there, let's settle for this cute Chansey 🍮 pudding ♥ I heard a rumor that Chansey's English name is actually "Chansey"—is that true? ③ Airport-Exclusive ✈️ Goods Airport-exclusive items made a special appearance here! The Chiikawa characters dressed like pilots wear blue 💙 uniforms. ④ Fresh Fruits 🍎 As you'd expect, they also had seasonal vegetables and fruits. They were selling peaches 🍑 named "Akatsuki." So cool ✨️ ✅️ Key Points⋯ ① The food court has plenty of seating 🍴. I haven't seen many like this, but it's a two-story service area. With a restaurant on the second floor, there are tons of places to sit back and relax 🪑. ② I didn't go because of the rain ☔️, but I heard there's even an observation deck ♥ Being able to enjoy the mountain views is wonderful 👍️

A hot spring inn located in Dake Onsen, Fukushima♨️ The room I stayed in at Oyado Hanakanzashi was so wonderful, I just had to share it!!! The inn has 8 rooms in total, and 3 of them come with a private open-air bath! The bath is amazingly spacious. I really wanted to stay in the "Katakuri" room with its private open-air bath, so finally being able to stay there was absolutely amazing🤤!!!! 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ✔️ Highlights of the room 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ⚫︎ Unlimited access to a 100% free-flowing natural hot spring open-air bath until checkout♨️ The tub is so huge that it looks like 8 people could easily fit in😂 ⚫︎ Dinner and breakfast are served in your room🥢 　The suite actually consists of two rooms, and one was dedicated entirely to dining!! ⚫︎ Two types of loungewear are provided: a yukata and a samue👘 ⚫︎ The skincare amenities provided are by Omnisens🫧 ⚫︎ It’s the closest room to the large public bath, making it super easy to take a dip anytime! ⚫︎ Coffee, green tea, hojicha (roasted green tea), and water are provided in the room🍵 Staying hydrated was never an issue! 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 Also, relaxing on the outdoor chair by the open-air bath to enjoy the fresh air, or chilling on the single-seat sofa inside the room was incredibly cozy🙌

I want to introduce Oyado Hanakanzashi in Dake Onsen, Fukushima, because it is an absolutely wonderful inn!!! The cherry blossoms in Dake Onsen are stunning from mid to late April,🌸 so even if you don't stay at Oyado Hanakanzashi, I highly recommend staying in Dake Onsen.🫶 ~~~~~~~~~~ ✔️ Recommended Highlights ~~~~~~~~~~ ⚫︎ Unlimited access to the 100% free-flowing, directly sourced hot springs until checkout! ⚫︎ The welcome drink of matcha green tea and tama-yokan (ball-shaped sweet bean jelly) is delicious. ⚫︎ Enjoy complimentary onsen tamago (hot spring eggs), Japanese sake, and wine.🍷 · Sake and wine are limited to two glasses per person. ⚫︎ Barley tea, water, and seasonal teas are available for free, as much as you want, until checkout.🍵 You can also enjoy coffee the next morning before checkout.☕️ ⚫︎ Dinner and breakfast can be served in your room or in a private dining room! ⚫︎ Fully stocked with skincare sets!

For international travelers, visiting Fukushima's "Nihonmatsu Castle (Kasumigajo Castle)" offers more than just the charm of an ancient fortress—it carries a historically heavy, slightly sorrowful weight. You'll initially be blown away by the spectacular restored "Minowa Gate." However, reading the placards about the "Nihonmatsu Youth Corps"—boys barely in their teens who died in battle during the Boshin War at the end of the Edo period—is truly heart-wrenching. Unlike other famous castles celebrated for the fiery conquests of warlords, this place holds a sense of tragic, poignant beauty. Heavy history aside, the seasonal scenery here is an absolute showstopper! The grounds explode with cherry blossoms in spring, while autumn brings the renowned "Nihonmatsu Chrysanthemum Figure Exhibition" and hillsides covered in vibrant red maple leaves—it's so breathtaking you won't be able to stop snapping photos. For foreign tourists like us who love digging deeper, Nihonmatsu Castle offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of big-city attractions. Strolling along the ancient stone walls and quietly soaking in the blend of historical vicissitudes and stunning natural beauty makes for an incredibly touching, culturally rich journey!

A ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in Fukushima that I visited this summer! It had an open-air bath and cost just under 20,000 yen per person ♨️ It was too hot in the summer to use the open-air bath, so I recommend going in the fall or winter 🚗 There's also a safari park nearby, making it perfect for sightseeing 🦁 The food was delicious, and the hot springs were incredibly relaxing! Even a one-night, two-day trip is enough to enjoy it, so please do go! It was a peaceful place surrounded by nature 🌳 The hotel staff were also very kind and helpful, which was great 👍

#hellohalloween Ambience & Setting Perched on Kasumigajo Hill in Fukushima Prefecture, the Nihonmatsu Castle Ruins (Kasumigajo Park) preserve the legacy of a once-mighty samurai stronghold. Though much of the original fortress was lost to time and the Meiji Restoration, the site remains one of Japan’s most picturesque castle ruins, surrounded by lush greenery and thousands of cherry trees. Today, it serves as both a historical monument and a beloved scenic park that embodies the timeless beauty of Japan’s feudal past. ⸻ Highlights of the Visit · Stone Walls & Gates: The castle’s remaining stone ramparts and reconstructed gates, such as Minowa Gate, convey the original scale and defensive design of the Edo-period fortress. · Tenshu Ruins (Main Keep Site): Offers panoramic views over Nihonmatsu City and the surrounding mountains — especially breathtaking during spring and autumn. · Kasumigajo Park: Renowned as one of Japan’s top 100 cherry blossom spots, the park bursts into a sea of pink during April, attracting visitors from across the region. · Historical Monuments: Statues, plaques, and markers throughout the grounds tell the story of the Nihonmatsu Clan and their role in regional samurai history. · Autumn Chrysanthemum Festival: Each fall, the site transforms into a vibrant display of flowers, with colorful chrysanthemum dolls and decorations celebrating local culture. ⸻ Practical Info · Location: Kasumigajo Park, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan · Opening Hours: Open year-round (park area accessible at all times) · Admission: Free · Access: Approx. 20 minutes on foot or a short taxi ride from JR Nihonmatsu Station · Facilities: Visitor information center, rest areas, walking trails, and seasonal food stalls during festivals ⸻ Why It’s Worth Visiting · A historically significant site offering insight into Japan’s samurai era. · One of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Fukushima. · Combines cultural heritage, natural beauty, and panoramic city views. · Seasonal events make each visit unique — from spring blooms to autumn festivals. ⸻ Final Thoughts The Nihonmatsu Castle Ruins capture the spirit of Japan’s samurai heritage in a setting of serene natural beauty. Whether you visit for the history, the blossoms, or the views, this atmospheric site stands as a poetic reminder of resilience, elegance, and the passage of time.

Adachigahara Furusato Village is a tourist facility located in Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, featuring approximately 3 million red spider lilies. The vibrant red flowers against the backdrop of a five-story pagoda create a stunning view. In early September, visitors can also enjoy the early-blooming white spider lilies, known as 'Summer Christmas.' The park's symbol is a five-story pagoda approximately 31 meters tall, which houses a mother-and-child statue created by sculptor Kentaro Hashimoto. Access 📍 4-100 Adachigahara, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, 964-0938, Japan

【Adachigahara Furusato Village】 📍Location: 4-100 Adachigahara, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture 《Access》 · About a 6-minute walk from Adachigahara Bus Stop (Fukushima Kotsu Bus) · About a 9-minute walk from Adachigahara Park Bus Stop (Fukushima Kotsu Bus) · About a 9-minute walk from Industrial Park Entrance (Nihonmatsu) Bus Stop (Fukushima Kotsu Bus) 🕰️Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ The park is home to approximately 2.5 million red spider lilies, which bloom all at once during this season. The vast grounds are covered in a sea of red spider lilies, resembling a red carpet. Occasionally, you can spot white flowers blooming among them. The scenery, featuring a watermill, thatched-roof houses, and a five-story pagoda, is truly enchanting.

After visiting the Nihonmatsu Castle Ruins, we were looking for a quick and reliable lunch stop—and Yoshinoya never disappoints. We pulled into the Fukuoka-440 Yui branch, and as expected, it was a smooth and fuss-free experience. Parking was super convenient, with spaces located right outside the shop—perfect for a quick stop when you’re on a road trip or just passing through. Inside, everything was straightforward. You simply place your order at the counter and they hand you a buzzer. Once it goes off, just head back and collect your tray. We went for the classic beef bowl (gyudon)—always satisfying and great value for money. The portions were generous, the beef was flavorful and tender, and it hit the spot after a wet, chilly walk at the castle ruins. It’s the kind of comfort food you can count on, especially when traveling with family. Yoshinoya might be a chain, but it’s exactly the kind of simple, consistent, and affordable meal that makes traveling around Japan so easy. No surprises—just good food, fast service, and plenty of convenience. #summervacay #YoshinoyaJapan #GyudonFix #NihonmatsuEats #JapanRoadTrip #TravelFuel #QuickBitesJapan #ValueForMoney #ComfortFoodJapan #FukushimaEats #FamilyFriendlyStop #japan #japantrip #tohoku #tohokutrip #travel

We made a stop at the Nihonmatsu Castle Ruins, but I’d say it’s really more suited for those driving, as access without a car can be a bit of a challenge. I drove all the way up to the public parking area, which was just a small open patch—not many spots, and the road leading up was quite narrow, so do drive with caution. As for the site itself, don’t expect to see any standing castle structures—this is more of a historical site with stone foundations and remnants of what used to be. Interestingly, some of the photos displayed around the area actually seemed to be of Kasumigajo Park, which is nearby and might cause a bit of confusion for first-time visitors. That said, the views from the top were surprisingly nice, even on the rainy day we visited. The mist and drizzle added a moody, atmospheric touch to the ruins and surrounding trees, which made for some lovely, quiet moments despite the weather. If you’re a history buff or someone who enjoys walking through quiet, scenic ruins, you might still enjoy it. But if you’re expecting an intact castle or interactive experience, you might leave a bit underwhelmed. #summervacay #NihonmatsuCastleRuins #CastleRuinsJapan #TohokuTravel #HiddenJapan #HistoricalJapan #OffTheBeatenPath #JapanRoadTrip #CastleViews #TravelRealTalk #RainyDayExploration #japan #japantrip #tohoku #tohokutrip #travel

#cherryblossom25 Nakajima Jizozakura in Akiyama is a charming little cherry blossom spot that feels super down-to-earth and real. This ancient sakura tree has been around for ages, standing tall and proud with its soft pink flowers lighting up the area every spring. The tree sits near a small Jizo statue, giving the place a peaceful, almost spiritual vibe that’s really calming. It’s not packed with tourists, so you get plenty of quiet moments to soak in the beauty and snap some cool photos without any rush. The surrounding countryside adds to the chill atmosphere, with rolling hills and fresh air making it a perfect escape from busy city life. If you want to experience cherry blossoms in a simple, heartfelt way, Nakajima Jizozakura is a sweet little hidden gem in Akiyama you won’t want to miss.

#springwander The altitude is 1,700m, but if you use the "Adatarayama Ropeway", you can go up to the summit station at an altitude of about 1,350m in about 10 minutes from the foot of the mountain station, and you can easily enjoy trekking in about an hour and a half to the top of the mountain, so it is suitable for beginners and families. Also popular. It is also known as a famous place for autumn leaves, and from late September to mid-October every year, it is crowded with many climbers. Ski resorts are open in winter, and you can enjoy one of the best snow quality in Tohoku.

Mt. Adatara, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains, is located in Fukushima Prefecture. It is a mountain with an altitude of 1,700m, but you can take the ropeway to a height of 1,350m, and then walk for 5 minutes to reach Yakushidake Panorama Park, where the summit of Mt. Yakushi is right in front of you. A shrine and a hanging bell are enshrined at the summit. The view of the Adatara mountain range from the summit of Mt. Yakushi is also a spectacular view, but if you come this far, we recommend aiming for the summit of Mt. Adatara. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours from the summit of Mt. Yakushi. (However, it is dangerous if you do not have proper equipment such as trekking shoes.) The autumn world of Mt. Adatara is also said to be as beautiful as Mt. Kurikoma, which is famous for having the best autumn leaves in Japan. The world below was blue, but the autumn leaves near the summit were magnificent. Rarely found at such a high altitude, there were fields of silver grass instead of alpine plants. The summit of Mt. Adatara is also known as Mt. Chichikubiyama (Chichikubiyama) lol. When I visited, the fog was so thick that I couldn't see much, but when it's clear, you can see Mt. Bandai, the Iide mountain range, the Zao mountain range, and more. When descending, it is more interesting to descend from the Okudake area if you have time and energy, rather than taking the ropeway. However, after it rains, it gets muddy, and the muddy roads and rocks are slippery, so be careful. After descending, it is customary to wash off the sweat at "Okudake no Yu" (650 yen for adults) located right in front of the ropeway station. (Although I didn't have time, I skipped it...) Even beginners can easily climb it, so it's recommended for climbing to see the autumn leaves! #tripdomestictravel #FukushimaPrefecture #breathtakingview #autumnleaves #climbing

#DomesticTravelRecord A restaurant famous for its sauce katsudon, founded in 1948, located at the entrance to Dake Onsen in Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture As rumored, the volume is so large that the lid won't close, and the katsu is thicker than I've ever seen, so you may not be able to finish it by yourself (it seems you can take the rest home) The taste is also very delicious There are 7-8 parking spaces in front of the restaurant If there are no spaces available, you can use the free parking lot at Dake Onsen It gets crowded on holidays and at lunchtime, and there are often lines before the restaurant opens There is a waiting sheet at the entrance of the restaurant, so please write your name and line up We recommend visiting when you have time #Fukushima #FukushimaTourism #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #DomesticTrip #SoloTrip
