π Wear kimono and walk around a beautiful old Japanese village π
One of Fukushimaβs most popular sightseeing spots, the traditional old hamlet of Ouchi-juku was once a rest stop for samurai marching between Tsurugajo Castle in Aizu and the capital at Edo (now Tokyo). Famous for its thatched roofs, Ouchi-juku looks largely the same as it did hundreds of years ago, and you can take fantastic photos from the overlook above the village.
This kimono experience is a great chance to learn about Japanβs famous clothing, be dressed by a kimono expert, and eat traditional cuisine. In addition to several charming restaurants, Ouchi-juku has many stalls where you can meet local shopkeepers and browse their wares β in particular there is a great selection of folk art and Japanese snacks.
