Japan | Return to Fukushima and Tochigi! Ouchi-juku & Nikko Toshogu

Jul 2, 2026

Tbh the first time I went to Fukushima, I went because I wanted to check out the Chansey Park lol. This time I am here to check out Tsuruga Castle (Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle) and the historic village of Ouchi-juku. When I was in Tochigi prior, I visited an underground mine and went inside a tall Kannon statue. This go-round, I'm there for Nikko Toshogu, the final resting place of Ieyasu Tokugawa. As an avid fan of Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series I just knew I had to visit!
