When you think of âFukushimaâ, what comes to mind? Unfortunately, for many people around the world, Fukushima is synonymous with the site of the nuclear accident. Indeed, the Fukushima nuclear disaster, triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the massive tsunami, was a tragic event. Many areas in Fukushima Prefecture, not just along the Pacific Coast where the nuclear plant was located, suffered damage. However, 14 years have passed since the nuclear accident, and recovery is progressing, with Fukushima gradually returning to its original state.ãFukushimaãPrefecture is home to some of Japanâs finest hot springs (Onsen), and you can enjoy the rich nature throughout the four seasons. The people are warm-hearted and full of humanity, and there are plenty of delicious foods and fine âSakeâ. While visiting tourist spots like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, or historical sites like Nikko and Kamakura is certainly worthwhile, famous tourist destinations can be very crowded. If you want to quietly experience âThis is Japanâ, why not consider visiting Fukushima?||||Fukushima Prefecture has many places that I would love to introduce to the world. I am pondering where to start, but when it comes to Fukushima, hot springs are definitely a highlight. There are many wonderful hot spring areas, but I would like to first introduce AzumaTakayu Onsen (âTakayuâ means onsen located in a highland). Azuma Takayu Onsen is located 30 minutes by bus from Fukushima Station, at an elevation of 750 meters. It is renowned as one of the âThree Highland Hot Springs of Oshuâ, along with Zao Onsen and Shirabu Onsen (âOshuâ means an old name for the Tohoku region). The hot spring boasts an impressive flow rate of over 3,000 liters per minutes. The onsen water is drawn naturally without any heating or dilution, flowing directly into the baths of each âryokanâ (traditional inn). In 2010, it became the first in the Tohoku region to issue âDeclaration of Gensen Kakenagashiâ (Gensen means hot spring source. Gensen-Kakenagashi means supplying the hot spring water to the bath without any modifications to the source), and since its opening in 1607, it has continued to provide âgenuine hot springsâ in a luxurious flow over 400 years. In spring, visitors can enjoy the fresh greenery surrounded by lingering snow, while in autumn, they can admire the brilliant fall foliage. In winter, exquisite snow viewing baths offer a unique experience, making Azuma Takayu Onsen âa hidden gemâ to enjoy throughout the four seasons (Hito: hidden gem/secluded hot spring). ||||There are many unique and attractive ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) in Azuma Takayu Onsen, but may personal recommendations are Azumaya Ryokan and Kagetsu Highland Hotel. Azumaya Ryokan can be said to be the best ryokan in Azuma Takayu Onsen. The rotenburo (open-air bath) at this ryokan is a coveted spot for onsen enthusiasts, and it is also famous for its wonderful meals. Kagetsu Highland Hotel is located at the highest elevation in Azuma Takayu Onsen, and soaking in its hot springs while enjoying the night view of Fukushima City is truly breathtaking. Additionally, there is âAttakayu,â which has ranked first in Japanâs âDay-Use Onsen Ranking,â but I would like to introduce that in a separate review. The charm of Azuma Takayu Onsen cannot be fully conveyed in this brief review. âSeeing is believing.â I encourage everyone, including those from overseas, to visit Azuma Takayu Onsen and experience its allure with their own eyes and...
