The horseback warriors of the Soma Nomaoi festival ⚔️

Held every year in May, this three-day festival held its main event on Sunday 25th May, when brave local residents took to horseback to race across the storied track at Hibarigahara.

The festival is said to be over 1,000 years old and traces its history back to an ancestor of the Soma clan, who released wild horses for use in military training. Nowadays the festival is a celebration of the region’s rich history, with thousands of spectators turning up to witness around 400 warriors in full armour as they take part in parades, horse races and flag-catching competitions.

A vermilion torii gate on its own little island in the Pacific Ocean - why not visit Bentenjima?

Bentenjima is one of Iwaki’s most beautiful scenic spots and well worth a visit if you’re in town. A bridge was first built here in 1933, allowing access to the shrine irrespective of high or low tide. From that point on, it was a well-visited spot, especially in summer, while it’s also a popular spot to watch the sunrise on New Year’s Day as it looks out east over the Pacific Ocean.

The rocks on the cove can get quite slippery thanks to seawater, so take care when approaching the torii gate. Also be aware: it’s said those who take pebbles home from the beach here will suffer from eye problems later in life!

The peaceful atmosphere of this waterfall temple… 😌

Nakano Fudoson in Iizaka Onsen is a Zen Buddhist temple, built next to a waterfall in a beautiful forest clearing. Opened in 1179, it has been an important site for local people as a place of worship for centuries, and it’s said a serow (a type of goat) led its founder to this secluded spot.

The inner sanctuary, where the sacred flame of the ‘eternal lamp’ burns, is located inside a cave, and there are narrow tunnels running throughout the complex. This is one of Japan’s three main temples to Fudo Myo-o, a Buddhist deity enshrined here and said to be immensely powerful.

There’s also a rest house on the grounds serving drinks and traditional sweets. Entry to the temple complex is free.

🐟 One of northern Japan’s best aquariums, you could easily spend hours wandering around the sprawling complex of Aquamarine Fukushima in Iwaki City.

Highlighted by two gigantic tanks that stretch several floors, the facility aims to reproduce Fukushima’s varied aquatic ecosystems, from the inland lakes and rivers further west to the Pacific Ocean on the east coast. It’s perhaps most famous for its iconic triangular tunnel, intended to mimic the collision of undersea currents!

The aquarium is also a renowned research facility, especially well-known for its work on coelacanths, an ancient species of fish said to have existed for 400 million years. There’s an exhibition space that goes into detail about this research work, as well as how fisheries have sustained the local community.

From the aquarium, it’s a short walk to Iwaki Lalamew, a massive market selling freshly-caught fish and housing 12 seafood restaurants. It’s also a 40 minute walk along the coast to the Iwaki Marine Tower, which offers incredible views over the city and the ocean.

There’s also a sushi restaurant IN Aquamarine Fukushima, halfway along the route. It’s called Shiome no Umi (after an area of the Pacific Ocean near Fukushima) and you can enjoy fresh sushi in sight of the main tanks.

The ethereal beauty of Sazaedo Temple’s double helix shape…

Originally designed to keep worshippers from disturbing one another, Sazaedo’s unique design prevents visitors from passing in opposite directions. Built in 1796, it’s also the only wooden building designed in this style in the entire world.

The walls of the interior are plastered with labels, mostly bearing the names of visitors who have made the trip to the samurai heartland of Aizu to worship since the Edo Period. Originally the temple was full of 33 Buddhist statues known as ‘kannon’ which marked the designated prayer spots, and although they are no longer there, this remains the same building as it stood over two hundred years ago.

📍 Sazaedo Temple, Bentensh*ta-1404 Itsukimachi Oaza Yahata, Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima 965-0003
🚂 5 min on foot from the Haikara-san / Akabe Loop Bus Iimoriyama-sh*ta Bus Stop
🚗 15min drive from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station

Tucked away in a cedar grove in Tanagura Town, the moss-covered rocks and statues of Isshikikanei Shrine make you feel like you’ve stepped into a Ghibli movie.

The shrine is well-known in the area for its two koma-inu (lion statue) carvings. These were carved in 1934 by Kobayashi Wahei, a famous stonemason from the region responsible for dozens of statues on shrine grounds, especially in his birthplace of nearby Ishikawa Town. One of them is known as one of Kobayashi’s ‘Great Three Lion Statues’.

📍 Isshikikanei Shrine, Kanaigami-181 Isshiki, Tanagura, Higashishirakawa District, Fukushima 963-6111
🚂 25min walk from Iwaki-Asakawa Station (Suigun Line)
🚗 1hr from Koriyama Station
(There is space for a couple of cars nearby, but the roads are very narrow!)

Aizu lacquerware traces its roots back to the 1400s, when lord Gamo Ujisato brought the practice to the region. The work of Aizu craftsmen eventually became famous across Japan, not only for its beauty and durability but for its affordability - an art previously reserved for nobility quickly became accessible to ordinary people.

With its rich samurai and artisanal history, the Aizu region is a perfect place to experience traditional Japanese culture. Here at Suzuzen, a workshop founded in 1830, you can paint Aizu lacquerware for yourself - the art of ‘maki-e’ - under the watch of a lifelong professional craftsman.

The experience also includes a tour of the Suzuzen workshop and you can take your finished lacquerware home with you as a souvenir.

Reservations can be made on the Fukushima Travel website:

The cherry blossom river at Kannonji-gawa is one of the Tohoku region’s most famous sakura spots! The river walk features over a kilometre of cherry trees in a charming residential area within view of Mt. Bandai to the north-west. It’s a popular spot for picnics and strolls during spring, combining the vivid whites and pinks of the trees with the calm of the running water.

Every year during cherry blossom season, the river banks are illuminated in dozens of changing colours at night, and there are food stalls staffed by local vendors. The Inawashiro region sees some of the latest cherry blossoms to bloom in the entire prefecture thanks to its mountainous terrain, with full bloom typically forecast for late April.
