This and the sights along the Azuma Bandai Skyline are why we went. Neither disappointed. The colors of the many ponds are wonderful. The fall colors of the trees complemented perfectly. The water is incredibly clear.

I went there, 2 Weeks ago and it was everything I hoped for. Laid Back drifting, awesome cars and everything in between. I am planning to come back in 2020 for a matsuri. I love Ebisu.

The splendor of the giant ancient tree is truly mind-boggling. It is a wonderful sight and, without a doubt, it is the loveliest tree in the country - often mentioned as the number one tree. In fact, it is a national treasure. We visited on April 17 and it was perfect with the blossoms at their peak. We took a very early train from Koriyama along with many others and still we managed to get on the first bus from the train station to the site. As the morning and afternoon progressed big crowds and tour groups arrived. In the early morning we could easily get up close without having to fight our way through throngs of people, later in the day the crowds increased. We went in the early morning to avoid the crowds and trusted the weather forecast which predicted clouds after noon. The forecasters were right, but we got there early enough to see the tree and take hundreds of photos in sun and with fewer visitors. This was a highlight of our 2019 sakura trip. The tree is amazing - the size alone is astonishing but when the tree is covered with masses of blossoms it is truly breathtaking.

like many re-built castles, Tsuruga-jo is a historical museum in a town with a rich samurai history. From the lookout at the top of the Castle, there are panoramic views of the city, and on the way out, a large gift shop. Definitely worth visiting when you are in the city

Kasumi-ga-jō, the ruined castle at Nihonmatsu, was not really the focus of our visit. The sakura there were our target and they were at peak on April 16 when we visited. We spent a long time at the first (reconstructed) gate trying to capture a photo with no people - it required a lot of patience. The climb to the top of the castle mount is easy offers many places for stopping and viewing nature. There are several view points, many natural features including sakura, ponds, shaped trees and a tea house. Do climb to the top of the mountain for a spectacular view of snow-covered mountains, yellow fields of mustard flowers (nanohana) and hundreds if not thousands of sakura. From here you can walk on the stone castle ramparts and take in the expansive 360 degree views.
10. Aizu Old Samurai Residences

This place is a must visit for people with the slightest interest in the Edo period as it gives a very good picture of how the upper ranked samurai lived. The mansion is actually a recreation of the residence of a senior retainer of the Aizu clan in the late Edo period. Visitors are not allowed to get into the building, but are expected to walk around the ground, looking at the various rooms from the outside. Signage in both English and Japanese provide a clear picture of the layout of the mansion and what each room was used for. The mansion was divided into sections such as those used to house honoured guests, the residential section, those used for official purpose, those used by guards, those used by maids, kitchen, rice mill (!) and even a recreation of rooms used by bachelor retainers. I've been to other samurai residences/districts such as that in Kakunodate, but this structure provided me with the clearest and most informative picture of how an upper ranked samurai household looked like. I was pleasantly surprised and although 850 yen admission fee was indeed pretty costly, it was worth the knowledge I gained. There is a well-stocked gift shop at the exit, and a small museum (admission included) inside the residence itself. There is a loop townbus bus-stop just a few steps away from the entrance.
