[Fukushima] Yakushidake Panorama Park with a spectacular view

Yakushidake Panorama Park is located at the summit of Mt. Yakushi in Fukushima Prefecture. During the autumn foliage season, the entire mountainside is dyed red and yellow, creating a breathtaking view. There is a monument to the True Sky that Chieko spoke of in Takamura Kotaro's book "Chieko Sho." Beyond the True Sky is Mt. Adatara, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains. In addition to the mountain trail, you can reach Yakushidake Panorama Park by taking the Adatara Mountain Ropeway to the summit station in about 10 minutes. Below the ropeway, you can see the cityscape from Koriyama City to Fukushima City, the Abukuma mountain range, the Zao mountain range in the distance, and even the spectacular Azuma Kofuji. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the ropeway summit station to reach Yakushidake Panorama Park. It was a weekday afternoon, but the autumn leaves were at their peak, so it was crowded. There was a strong wind that day, but I was simply moved by the spectacular autumn foliage. Please visit it at least once. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Spot name: Mt.
