Fukushima Part 1

Filed under: — Andy @ 9:16 pm

Since I had more time after visiting my friend in Utsunomiya, I decided to travel a little further north to the prefecture of Fukushima. The first place I went was a town called Aizuwakamatsu. Once there I toured around the city to see the sights. I saw house of Dr. Noguchi, who devoted his life to science and research to cure diseases, and can also be seen on the Japanese 1000 yen bill. I visited an old traditional sake brewery and museum where there were as many free samples of sake as one could drink. I visited Tsurugajo castle and went to the top to get a good view of the city. Not to mention I ate lunch at what all the locals said was the best place in town. As it got late I made my way to the hot springs in the mountains to spend the night in a ryokan.
