The Iitate Reconstruction Three Thousand Cherry Trees 🌸

This astonishing part of northern Japan began as a private planting project in 1998 when a local couple started growing cherry trees on former farmland. Over time, the number of trees gradually increased, with the help of locals, so that the grounds now feature cherry blossoms as far as the eye can see every April.

Following the 2011 disaster, Iitate Village was evacuated, but the couple still returned periodically to look after the trees. From around 2013, the area became a focus for volunteers helping with things like cleaning and pruning, and the project became something of a symbol of Iitate's reconstruction. Nowadays, the site is a great example of how far eastern Fukushima has come in the years since the earthquake.

In Fukushima Prefecture there are several spots famous with local photographers where trains pass by a vista of cherry blossoms. Here are just a few of the ones I went to this year:

In this reel:
🚂 Ashinomaki Onsen Minami Station
😌 Yunokami Onsen Station (one of only two stations in Japan with a thatched roof)
📷 The Totsube Cherry Tree in Yamatsuri Town

Some of the Aizu area is still in bloom, so if you’re in town this weekend, there’s still time to catch the end of this year’s season 🌸

(Close to Ouchi-juku! And about a 40min scenic train from Aizu-Wakamatsu)

This weekend is the perfect time to visit lesser-known cherry blossom areas in Fukushima Prefecture!

Nihonmatsu City is in full bloom right now, so we paid a visit to the great cherry tree in the Hinata area. There is a single jizo statue - said to be guardians of the departed - sat at the trunk of the tree, and the term ‘hitomachi’ is said to have come from a local school official, who said that it looked like the statue was waiting for someone.

If you’re looking to visit Fukushima’s cherry blossom spots, it’s said that many areas around Fukushima City, Nihonmatsu, Koriyama and even Aizu - including Tsurugajo Castle - are in full bloom now, and the weather for the weekend looks great.

If you’re thinking of visiting Fukushima Prefecture in the future, follow us and see our cherry blossom guide on the Fukushima Travel website 🫡

The great cherry tree at Totsube in Yamatsuri Town is one of the first cherry trees to bloom in Fukushima, marking the start of spring for many residents in the south of the prefecture. The train swings past only once an hour each way - and not at all during a four-hour stretch around lunchtime…

These are the last few days of the tree at full bloom, so if you’re in town this week, this is the perfect time to see it 🌸

For more details about cherry blossoms in Fukushima, search for our full ‘Fukushima cherry blossom guide’ on the Fukushima Travel website! Blossoms will be starting to fall this week in the south of the prefecture (Yamatsuri, Iwaki) and at Hanamiyama, while Kaiseizan Park and other spots around Koriyama are heading for full bloom now.

The Shrine Maiden Dance at Bandai Shrine ⛩️

The traditional ‘miko mai’, or Shrine Maiden Dance, is performed during the spring equinox festival in Bandai Town. The dance is made up of three parts - the Sakaki Dance, Bow Dance, and Sword Dance - each with its own props and unique movements. Performed by young girls and supported by the wider community, its elegant style has been carefully passed down through generations.

If you’d like to see the festival for yourself, including its raucous post-dancing tug-of-war between two community teams that anyone can join, visit the Fukushima Travel website!

Exploring the heart of Japan’s historic Aizu region 🙋‍♂️

Aizu-Wakamatsu City, once the base of the powerful Aizu Domain of samurai, still bears a proud connection to its warrior history and heritage. If you’re looking to visit the samurai city for yourself but you want to go beyond simply sightseeing to witness the region’s true charm, there are tour itineraries that combine some of the best parts of Aizu’s culture.

All tours are customisable, taking place over two days with an overnight stay, and include an English-speaking storyteller to guide you through one of Japan’s best unvisited regions.

1) A Journey through Samurai Spirit ⚔️
This tour allows you to experience the spirit of Aizu warrior culture first-hand, via a visit to the great fortress Tsurugajo Castle, zazen meditation and kyudo archery at a real samurai academy, and interacting with descendants of Aizu’s warrior clan.

2) A Journey through Aizu Folk Crafts 🎨
With a history tracing back to the samurai era, Aizu’s traditional crafts represent the ‘beauty of utility’ that made the region’s craftspeople so famous. On this tour you’ll paint your own Aizu lacquerware, stroll through the castle town and visit an Aizu Hongo ware pottery kiln.

3) A Journey through Aizu Cuisine 🍶
This tour offers a sensory experience of Aizu’s unique food culture, which is characterised by a rich natural environment and pure waters in the surrounding mountains. The programme features tours of Yamatogawa sake brewery and Eikawa whisky distillery, meals featuring local ingredients, and a pairing dinner at Yamagataya, a ryokan in the Atsushio Onsen spa area.

エビスドサーキット（二本松市）

A lack of snowfall didn’t stop a great turnout at the Tadami Snow Festival ❄️☃️

Tadami Town is based in the heart of the Oku-Aizu region, which typically sees heavy snowfall throughout January and February. Even with no snow for over a week, most of the area was still blanketed in white with residual snowfall from the start of February.

This year’s festival saw a flood of visitors, especially families and children enjoying the food stalls, playing on large snow mounds, and watching comedy skits on the main stage.

The main event of festivities kicked off with a yakubarai, a ritual held to ward off misfortune for people in their ‘unlucky years’, especially 25 and 42 for men, or 19, 33, and 37 for women. It’s said that a blessing and prayer from a priest in this ceremony wards off unlucky spirits and protects them in the year ahead.

As part of the ritual, the ‘unlucky’ men of Tadami entering their 42nd year dress in loincloths and run through the event venue, while people slap their backs and wish them good luck. They also throw mochi to the crowd and set alight the huge bonfires. Locals and visitors then form circles around the fires to roast mochi on long bamboo sticks 🍡

In the evening, there’s a projection mapping show on the main sculpture – this year a preview of a new bridge set to connect parts of Fukushima and Niigata Prefectures – before finishing off with an extended fireworks display.
