2-Day Tour of Tohoku Lakeside Hot Springs: Ouchijuku + Aizuwakamatsu Castle + Goshikinuma + Ice Lake Fishing (Hot Spring Hotel with Breakfast and Dinner) Depart from Tokyo

This is a winter trip that combines nature and humanity, relaxation and adventure, and will take you to explore the magnificent scenery and profound history of Fukushima.

The first stop is Ouchijuku, a post town left over from the Edo period, known as "living history". In winter, Ouchijuku is covered with snow, and the thatched roof exudes a strong rural atmosphere, as if walking into an ancient Japanese painting. There is also traditional "Takato Soba" to taste here, which is more interesting with the snow scene.

Then, we went to Aizu Wakamatsu Castle. This famous city with a thousand-year history is famous for its unique red tiles and sturdy city walls. In the winter snow scene, Wakamatsu Castle is more solemn and peaceful, and is a great place for photography and history enthusiasts. Stroll through the city and feel the heritage of samurai culture and Japanese traditions.

Then, go to Goshiki-numa. This group of lakes formed by volcanic eruptions presents charming tones such as blue and green under the sun due to the different minerals in the water. Even in winter, the scenery of Goshiki-numa is still dreamlike. Hiking the snowy trails, you will be immersed in the tranquility and wonder of nature.

You can also choose to go ice fishing. Experience the fun of winter fishing on the frozen lake and share the joy of the catch with friends or family. This activity is not only challenging, but also allows you to experience the unique charm of winter outdoors.

After a day of travel, stay in a hot spring hotel, wash off your fatigue in the warm spring water, and taste authentic Japanese breakfast and dinner. Whether it is fresh local ingredients or exquisite cooking skills, it will add an unforgettable taste experience to your journey.
