Questions You Might Need to Know About Traveling to Fukushima
Fukushima City, located in central Fukushima Prefecture, blends natural beauty with historical heritage. Framed by the Abukuma Highlands and Azuma Mountain Range, it boasts hot springs and famed cherry blossom spots. Its core appeal lies in post-disaster recovery narratives and traditional crafts like Aizu lacquerware.
Visit Mount Shinobu for panoramic views and Fukushima Prefectural Museum for local history. Soak in centuries-old baths at Tsuchiyu Onsen, or admire autumn foliage at Hatoriko Plateau. Culture enthusiasts shouldn't miss fishing village scenery at Matsukawaura and samurai ruins at Otori Castle Site.
Must-try street foods include round plate gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) and Kitakata ramen with thick noodles in soy broth. As the "Fruit Kingdom", summer peaches and autumn apples are highlights. Traditional wagashi shops offer usukawa manju (thin-skinned buns) and mochi dumplings.
City travel relies on Fukushima Kotsu buses (1-day pass: ¥1,000). JR East's Tohoku Shinkansen stops at Fukushima Station (1.5hrs from Tokyo). Taxis start at ¥730; remote onsen areas require advance shuttle bookings. Note infrequent mountain bus schedules.
