Fukushima Taxi: Tsurugajo Castle & Ouchi-juku
The western region of Fukushima Prefecture, centred around the city of Aizu-Wakamatsu, is known for being the prefecture’s most historically significant wing. Featuring castles, gardens, architecture, food and scenery that can’t be experienced anywhere else, there is a reason why this region is so popular not only with tourists from abroad but domestic visitors too. On this guided taxi tour, you'll visit two of Fukushima’s most popular spots -- the regal Tsurugajo Castle with its peerless architecture, and Ouchi-juku, a well-preserved thatched-roof village straight from the samurai age. In between you’ll experience wappa-meshi, a famous local delicacy served in special wooden dishes, to complete a day trip that showcasing one of northern Japan’s most beautiful regions. This tour includes an English guide as standard, and bookings must be made two weeks in advance. Note: This activity may be subject to change or cancellation in the event of unforeseen circumstances. We appreciate your understanding. This experience is operated by the Daiwa Transport Company. 大和自動車交通株式会社
