1-Day Fukushima Tour: Tsuruga-jo Castle & Ouchi-juku Edo Period Post Town

  • Aizu Bukeyashiki

  • Akabeko Painting Experience

  • Tsuruga-jo Castle

  • Ouchi-juku 1

  • Ouchi-juku 2

  • Tour Details
1. This day tour takes customers to two of Fukushima Prefecture's must-see sightseeing spots, Tsuruga-jo Castle and Ouchi-juku post town. Visit Tsuruga-jo Castle and Ouchi-juku in an efficient sightseeing in just a day. The tour is accompanied by a National Government Licensed English Guide Interpreter.
2. Built in 1384, Tsuruga-jo Castle is a symbol of Aizuwakamatsu in Fukushima Prefecture. There is a tragic history wherein a group of teenage boys from samurai families called Byakkotai once fought to protect this castle, but after seeing Aizu engulfed in flames, they took their own young lives. Behold Japan's only red-tile-roofed castle, a sight that has also been seen by the Byakkotai.
3. A popular sightseeing spot, Ouchi-juku flourished as an important post town connecting Aizuwakamatsu City and Imaichi City in Nikko during the Edo period (1603-1868). Traditional houses with thatched roofs still line the road to this day, maintaining an appearance seemingly unchanged from the Edo period. In 1981, it has been designated as one of Japan's Important Traditional Building Preservation Districts.
4. Experience painting an akabeko, a traditional bobble-headed Aizu toy shaped like a red cow, renowned as a talisman for warding off misfortune and bringing good luck.
