Ouchi-juku in Fukushima Prefecture, which can be seen from 0:23 in the video, is a popular tourist destination where the landscapes of old Japan remain.
Take a leisurely stroll through the quaint cityscape that will have you feeling as though you've traveled back in time to the Edo period.

In Yamagata, we recommend experiencing a Mogami River boat ride that can be seen from 7:55 in the video, and enjoying the views of nature, or stopping by Ginzan Onsen, which has a beautiful "Taisho Roman" style scenery.
Ginzan Onsen can be seen from 10:07 in the video.
We also recommend stopping by Tamasudare Falls, a lesser-known tourist spot, and enjoying the amazing view.
If you stop by Akita, be sure to take a commemorative photo with the armored warrior on the Kakunodate Samurai House Museum Street, and take in the history. It will make your sightseeing trip an even more memorable experience.

If you're traveling along the coast of Aomori, we recommend trying some of the delicious seafood.
After strolling through the snowy landscapes, enjoy the luxurious "Aomori Nokke Don," a seafood bowl at Aomori Gyosai Center & Auga Shinsen Ichiba (魚菜センター&アウガ新鮮市場), which can be seen from 5:37 in the video.
