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.

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.

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.

If you drive to Ouchijuku from above on the mountain road, you will first come to a restaurant that's just before the village. The restaurant has a large, gravel parking area. The car in front of us pulled into it and so we followed as we didn't know where the village parking was. Turns out, there's a secret path from here to the top of the Ouchijuku village that's shorter than walking from the official parking lots. The path starts next to the restaurant and is an improved walkway, with steps down and a bridge across the creek to a road that goes to the village. After visiting the village we had a zaru soba snack at the restaurant and their homemade soba was better than what we had in the village.
