Clear waterways, grandmothers selling senbei, the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, the flavor of green onion soba noodles, once a prosperous post town, Ouchi-juku on the Shimotsuke Road is one of the twenty-one stations of the Aizu Railway, the only station with a thatched roof in Eastern Japan. It is a rare sight to see an irori, a traditional Japanese sunken hearth, inside a train station, filling the space with the scent of wood smoke, also providing warmth for travelers during the cold winter months.

Fukushima Prefecture has one of the three most famous cherry blossoms in Japan, and there are many cherry blossom viewing spots, but this time I would like to introduce "Yunokami Onsen Station" on the Aizu Railway in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture. [About Yunokami Onsen Station] This station is famous for its thatched roof station building, which is rare in Japan, and is the nearest station to "Ouchi-juku," another popular tourist spot in Aizu, where there are rows of thatched roof houses. Around this station, there are large Someiyo There are 30 shino trees growing here, and the scenery is truly one of the most beautiful in Japan✨ It takes about 40 minutes from Aizuwakamatsu Station to get here🚃 Yunokami Onsen Station has a foot bath that you can use for free♨️ It's also recommended to relax here while waiting for your return train😄 [Sightseeing information in the area] We recommend visiting this place together with Ouchijuku, which was introduced above! Ouchijuku flourished as an important post town connecting Aizuwakamatsu City and Nikko Imaichi during the Edo period🏘️ The townscape makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period😍 The specialty we recommend here is "Negi Soba" Soba noodles eaten with a single stalk of green onion! 🫨 It's served at Yamatoya, so be sure to try it😆 You can get from Yunokami Onsen Station to Ouchijuku by bus! There is a ticket for the train and bus that will save you up to 620 yen, so please buy it and go! Discount ticket: 2,200 yen --- That's it! How about it?
