- Tatsusawa Fudo Falls
- Travel / Tourism
- Fukushima Pref. Yamaguninawashiromachi
- This waterfall is only a 10-minute walk from Nakanosawa Hot Spring. It got its name after the Fudo River where a Fudoson (god of fire) is enshrined at the mouth of the river. There is a spectacular ‘male’ waterfall that flows down a giant boulder, and an elegant quietly flowing ‘female’ waterfall on the west side, creating a beautiful contrast. Fall is one of the best times to go.

初心者向け講習がとっても充実です。店内でしっかりとイメージからコツまで丁寧に説明と姿勢？の練習後にボートに乗ります。最初はかなり低速で立ち上がるまでの感覚を掴む練習で、アドバイス通りにやっているうちにスピードアップ。数回のトライで立って乗れるようになり爽快に楽しめました。かなり昔に南国リゾート地のオプション（海）で立てずに終わったのに不思議です。海と違って湖なので、終わってからもベタつかないのもい...

- Urabandai Highland
- Travel / Tourism
- Kitashiobara Village, Yama-gun, Fukushima Prefecture
- "Urabandai Highland is a highland area to the north of Mt. Bandai, located around 25 minutes' drive from Inawashiro Bandai Kogen Interchange on the Ban-Etsu Expressway. Viewed from the south, Mt. Bandai has a very neat, mountain-like appearance, but the north side has a rough, irregular shape due to sectoral collapse, hence the name ""Urabandai"" (meaning ""Back of Mt. Bandai""). Urabandai is famous for the Goshikinuma lakes and ponds; there are many lakes and ponds, with water that takes a wide range of different colors, including emerald green and cobalt blue. Urabandai is a great place to visit in spring (for the new greenery) and autumn (for the autumn foliage), but it is also well worth seeing in winter, when visitors can enjoy snowshoe-trekking. Special guided tours, available only in winter, take visitors to see Goshikinuma ponds when they are at their most magical and mysterious."

- Fukushima Pref. Yamagunkitashiobaramura Hibara Kengamine 1093
- A restaurant frequented by tourists in Urabandai, a sightseeing area in Kitashiobara Village, Yama County, Fukushima Prefecture. The restaurant interior is modern and calm; the terrace seating, offering a sweeping view of the beautiful Urabandai scenery, is particularly recommended on sunny days. One of the restaurant’s most popular menu items is its all-beef handmade hamburg steak. The hearty helping of the restaurant’s thick, homemade demi-glace sauce poured on top is what really pulls the flavor together. Other popular menu items include the Japanese Black beef round curry, and the lingonberry for dessert.

2019年9月の連休中に訪れました。11:45頃に到着すると駐車場もいっぱい。既に店内は満席のようで15人くらい外で並んで待っていました。ちょうど食事を諦めたのか出て来た車があったので無事に停めることができました。とても暑い日だったので、列に並んでお店の軒下に到着するまでが辛かったです。帽子を被り、本を読んで40分程待ちました。 白っぽいお蕎麦は硬さもほどよくあり、天ぷらもヒレカツも美味しかったで...
