No doubt on why this place has become no.1 sakura spot in Fukushima prefecture. Lot people, lot of vehicles and rush during the peak season. Entrance ticket is ¥500. From some car parks, there was a shuttle bus service, difficult to find nearby car parks. Lovely place, unique beauty. Worth seeing historical Takizakura tree. Few snack shops around, can try several snacks such as ice cream, takoyaki, curry bun etc.

It’s a beautiful place to enjoy cherry blossoms from a century-old tree!

It was exceptional, very very exceptional place to visit!! Even it was in late blooming already when we visited, we still very much impressed of her ☺️☺️☺️ I wish to go back again.

Stunning tree, a must see!

It's worth a 15 min detour trip which costs 300 yen per person. The ambience is nice with spring in full bloom. The place is the site of a big and old sakura tree surrounded by eateries and you can buy sakura plants from here as well.

Amazing sakura, one of the three oldest and probably the most beautiful of those three. So of course, it's... utterly popular and surrounded by the crowds. Beautiful sight though, but minus one star for the amount of people, that kills a big part of its magic.

Amazing! This 1,000 year old sakura, which is declared one of Japan’s 3 great cherry trees in 1922, still stands big and tall as of today. It’s such a moving and awestruck experience when you see this tree before your eye. Many thanks to Miharu community and those who have supported to protect and preserve this amazing cherry tree! I wish this sakura another thousand years to come.

Beautiful place. Feeling grateful for the takizakura to warming our hearts for 1000 years

What a magnificent Historical place to visit! OBVIOUSLY you'll want to time it right to see this extraordinary tree in full bloom. We were a bit off but we at least got some blossoms! It's beautiful during day but can be quite crowded (go early!). At night when crowds disappear, it's a lot more tranquil and peaceful to soak in all in! It is a bit difficult to manage the hills in a wheelchair but at least the paths are paved. You'll need to be fairly strong/independent to push up hills or you'll need an assistant. Prepare for a workout to navigate the entire site. If you do manage to go up the hill behind tree you have to go back same way for there are a lot of stairs to go full circle. The market area has a great variety of vendors for food, souvenirs and drink. Lot's of varieties of great Sake (not to expensive either!) with free samples to taste.

We missed the full bloom by a week but still a blessing to be here to see the oldest cherry tree. There is a cafe and a few souvenirs shop. Toilets are clean.

Amazing if you get the timing right

At first I was worried since it’s my first time hiking but it was really easy! Like walking 1 and a half hours in the park. But the view was impressive! Perfect for beginner I guess. Might be interesting place for those who love moss.

Mt. Adatara is one of the most beautiful Mt. I ever been no words can express how happy I am to be here. One of Japan 100 famous mountain easy yet wonderful. ❤️🇯🇵🤙🤭

Hiked here early May 2022-- Still wintry! Incredible experience, simply otherworldly views. Was very windy around the summit, so please observe caution. I highly recommend this hike.

I've been to Mt.Adatara early October. The parking was almost full even around 6am. You can enjoy picturesque autumn leaves view

Awesome hike to the peak. Ropeway also available

Amazing views! Especially if once you reach the top you carry onto the volcano 5 minutes down the path. It's a bit of a hike to get to the summit, but if you rest and take water and food you'll be fine.

On Sep 28,2019 I had a chance to hike Mt. Adatara. Here is my notes for those who are planning to hike. Adatara Kogen Ski resort is the easiest trailhead. You can come here by your car or use public bus. There is free parking area. The trailhead is very well maintained. It has shops, restaurants, public hot spring etc. bathrooms are good. There are vending machines as well if you need some drinks before the hike. The cable car stars at 8:30. I took the cable car one way (1000 yen) since I planned to come down from another trail. It takes 10 min to get 1350 m altitude. From this point it is just an easy hike. The path starts right in front of the ropeway exit. It is a well maintained path but a bit narrow for most of the time. It was very crowded since it is autumn colors-season (koyou). There are lots of resting area but no water supply. Luckily it was such a clear and nice day. The scenery was spectacular. As you go up the height of the plants get smaller and you will see mountains lined up perfectly. The autumn colors were fantastic I believe it will get better in October. The suggested time was 90 min but it took us 55 min to get the summit. Altitude is 1700 m here. Once you get the peak you will see a path goes to the other peaks. We visited them as well. It takes 15-20 min each. You will see bleached rocks because of the volcanic action in the past. On the way coming back we decided to challenge ourselves with a different path. Suggested time was 120 min but it took use 105 min. After the peak of Adatara just keep walking to the right where you will see the path clearly. You can go all the way to the Kurogane Goya Hut but we decided to turn from the second peak. After about 15 min the route goes towards left and split into two. We got confused but thanks to the people there we figured it out that both end up with where we started. We followed the right path. After about 45 min walk through slippery and narrow path we came across with the connection point with the other path. From this point the path is very easy. You are like walking in a village. It is called “bashamichi” - horse road. However this part is a bit long so we decided to take the shortcuts. You will see the sigs of the short cuts which goes through bushes and trees. Both paths cross each other several times. At a point you will see a wooden bridge over a creek. It means you are almost there. The horse road just goes straight but on the left you will see a path that goes along with the creek. We decided to take this one as it looks more fun. It was indeed. The nature gets amazing if there is water. After 10 min walk we found the waterfalls. It was spectacular. We were happy with our choice. After a short walk we reached the cable car where we started. There is a public hot spring welcoming you. It was a great hike with lots of discoveries.

Not a good place to visit if you are not driving. I drove all the way up to the public parking which was a rather small patch and the roads going up was narrow as well. There wasn’t any castle structures left and some of the pics displayed here referred to another castle park nearby. Good views even when it was a rainy day when I visited.

We only saw the ruin, no castle-like building

Beautiful chrysanthemum festival in the fall. But it's not a full castle. The ruins are a bit away from the front entrance.

If this is on your way then stop off for a stroll around the ruins. Not something to go out of your way for though

Very beautiful place to view the autumn leaves

I’d like to say it is worth a visit. First time to give it 5 stars.

It's been several years since I saw this castle but I have never forgot my fond memories visiting Nihonmatsu.

Great if you're looking 'to get your legs in' before hitting some of the more serious resorts. Limited runs, but good for some fun.

♨️岳温泉の源泉がある⛰️安達太良山（標高１７００m）は四季を通じての観光名所です。 春から秋にかけては🥾軽登山や🍙お散歩しながらの家族団欒ハイキング、🍁紅葉なども楽しめます。 こちらの🏂️⛄️冬はスキー場になります。 紅葉の時期の写真を再Ｕｐしてみました。😀 🚡ロープウェーからの眺めは最高だと思います。 （見頃の時期にはこんな景色が楽しめます❤️） ロープウェーの昇りの片道だけを利用して、ゆっくり散策しながらくだる方が多いです。 熊避けの🔔鈴は持っていかれた方が安全ですね。 登山道入口に♨️温泉の施設が有りますので、帰りにリフレッシュされてからどーぞ。 ps...... ☂️🍃雨風が強いとロープウェーの運行が停止します。 山の天気は急変しますので、それなりの装備をしてからのお出掛けを強くお薦めします。

Departure

(Translated by Google) I visited in late October 2022 and it was very cold. Since we boarded the ropeway without preparing winter clothing, we could not stay at the top of the mountain for long. When I got off the ropeway, it was thrilling and scary at first... However, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing trip where you could see the autumn leaves and the view was great! (Original) 22年10月下旬に訪ねましたがとても寒かったです。防寒着を準備せずにロープウェイに乗ったので山頂には長く滞在できませんでした。 ロープウェイは降りる時、最初スリルがあり怖かったです…。 でも紅葉が見られて眺めがよくとても楽しく癒された旅でした！

(Translated by Google) The ropeway costs 2,000 yen round trip, and the scenic spot is about a 5-minute walk from the summit station.The footing is not very good, so wear comfortable shoes. The wait for the ropeway is about 15 to 30 minutes in the morning. It is especially crowded with climbers in the morning. Even in October, the area near the summit station is cold, almost like the middle of winter in the Kanto region. Let's take proper measures against the cold! (Original) ロープウェイは往復2000円、絶景スポットまで山頂駅から約徒歩5分、足場があまり良くないため歩きやすい靴でどうぞ。 ロープウェイは午前なら15分から30分待ちぐらい。朝は登山者で特に混み合います。 山頂駅付近は10月でも関東の真冬に近い寒さです。しっかり防寒対策していきましょう！

(Translated by Google) I visited during the autumn leaves season. The ropeway came one after another so there was no waiting time. Most people climb the mountain from the arrival station wearing very serious equipment, but for those in casual clothes, we recommend the panoramic course, which is a 5-minute walk from the ropeway exit. (Original) 紅葉の時期に伺いました。 ロープウェイは次々来るので待ち時間はありませんでした。 到着駅からの登山はかなり本格的な装備をしている人がほとんどで、普段着の人はロープウェイ降り口から徒歩5分のパノラマコースをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) I think it's perfect for couples because you'll be climbing up a fairly steep mountain, so you can imagine it as a roller coaster when you're coming down, so you'll get quite a thrill. You can enjoy beautiful scenery during the autumn leaves🍁 season, but it can get quite cold after climbing the ropeway, so be careful what you wear! (Original) かなり急な山を登るので特に下りの際ジェットコースターだと想像するとかなりのスリルが味わえるのでカップルには最適だと思う。紅葉🍁の時期はきれいな景色が味わえるけどロープウェイ登ったあとはかなり寒くなるので服装には気を付けると良い!

Attend the team orange drifting school. Extremely good experience. They will pick you up from bus stop so don't worry if you are not driving a car. Staff are friendly and explain the price clearly. All price included in the stated fee without any hidden charges. The coach is professional and can give English advice. I managed to achieve several drifting technique in only one afternoon.

This is the best place on earth for drift training specifically in low horsepower cars. The technique is focused more on momentum rather than power over. Each course has elevation changes so you're forced to learn the weight balance very fast.

Heaven for drifters. 5 dedicated drift courses. Take your own car or take a team orange lesson and use their lesson car. A must-visit for every drifting enthusiast. Not to mention the 36 hour non-stop drift Matsuri's 3 times a year.

A zoo with very beautiful animals, and seven amazing racing circuits ! Really love this place

This is a must go location. Especially if you love cars

This place is a heaven for every motorhead. You can buy and customize you car that you can completely demolish drifting on one of the eight tracks. A lot of amazing cars gather here for the Japan Drift Matsuri in May.
