Fukushima Hidden Gems
Puerta del Tohoku con aldeas detenidas en el tiempo. Ouchi-juku conserva intacta una hilera de casas con tejado de paja de la era Edo; el castillo Tsuruga-jo muestra la resistencia samurái de Aizu; los cinco estanques volcánicos de Goshiki-numa brillan en colores que parecen irreales.
19 spots
Tres regiones en una: una cálida costa pacífica, una ciudad castillo en la cuenca interior y lagos y bosques de montaña al oeste.
Clima y mejor temporada
