This is the first time I visited Ouchijuku.
The night before, the surrounding mountains had its first snow, and the planting in the post town became the first ice. The sky was cloudy, so I arrived a little depressed, but it was early in the morning and there were few people, but the few trees with autumn leaves that remained warmed my feelings.
The people of the post town were also very kind, and my desire to support Fukushima became stronger. What I can do now is to convey the charm of Tohoku as much as possible.

Cool Japan Video also publishes an article about Ouchijuku.
Please take a look here if you like.
Shimogo Town in Fukushima Prefecture is located almost in the middle of what is now Fukushima Prefecture, an area called Aizu until the Edo period, and is a tourist destination that retains its atmosphere in Minami-Aizu District, the largest county in Honshu.
The traditions that have been passed down from our predecessors have been passed down to us living today, leaving their appearance at events such as the Hannatsu Festival and the Ouchijuku Snow Festival.
Winter sightseeing is best recommended in Fukushima, where the snow suits you, but during the Lunar New Year, the event "Mizuki Hanadango," in which colorful dumplings are inserted into the branches of trees that have not yet sprouted in prayer for everyone's health and longevity, is a custom unique to Japan that has been passed down to Aizu enjoying the long winter.
The Aga River, a quiet clear stream that flows through Shimogo Town, is an important river that is indispensable for preserving Tsu's local cuisine culture. Upstream, there are hot spring inns that rise from hot springs. Please heal your tired body from sightseeing at a hot spring inn or tourist hotel such as Yunokami Onsen.
