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.

7 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
