This castle is one of the plain looking ones that I’ve been to but it does look elegant. You won’t need to spend too much time here, maybe just an hour. There is a gift shop at the castle where you can buy some souvenirs. There is also parking nearby.

戊辰戦争の地、鶴ヶ城でいかに激しい戦闘だったのかがよくわかる。駐車場がわかりやすく、本丸奥あります。石垣の壁を越えてお堀の中に入り、また石垣を越えてその奥に駐車場がある。この段々城に入っていく流れがいい。このような石垣内の堀の中にある駐車場は数少ない。そこから徒歩で数分で場内に入れます。最上階からの眺めも大変いいです。戊辰戦争の説明は、詳しく、会津藩の立場がよくわかります。戊辰戦争は、なぜ起きたのかと、読む人の胸に迫ったくる。会津藩出身の偉人が明治期に入って多数輩出されたことの説明もあり、明治期の日本の勉強になる。城主が、保科から松平に姓が変わった背景にも説明してあった。 (Translated by Google) You can clearly see how fierce the battle was at Tsuruga Castle, the site of the Boshin War. The parking lot is easy to find and is located at the back of the main enclosure. Go over the stone wall and enter the moat, then cross the stone wall again and there is a parking lot behind it. I like the flow of entering the castle step by step. There are only a few parking lots like this inside the moat inside the stone wall. From there, you can enter the venue in a few minutes on foot. The view from the top floor is also very nice. The explanation of the Boshin War is detailed and makes it easy to understand the position of the Aizu clan. The reader will be struck by the question of why the Boshin War occurred. There is also an explanation that many great people from the Aizu domain were produced during the Meiji period, and this is a great way to study Japan during the Meiji period. It also explains why the castle lord changed his surname from Hoshina to Matsudaira.

One of the 100 famous castles. Located in the city, it is easily accessible. From the parking lot in the moat, it is a short walk up Umezaka to the castle tower. The vast grounds of the palace ruins and the location of the castle tower are excellent. Starting from the salt storehouse inside the stone walls, you can view the historical documents on each floor before heading to the top floor. You can see Mt. Iimoriyama.

When visiting the castle in the early morning we had a great time. With a permission we could fly our drone around the castle and inside we could enjoy the detailed museum without crowds. The content explanation is in Japanese but also various other languages like English and Chinese, so many people can enjoy it

The castle looks fantastic at night with the spotlights on during the autumn season. In comparison, the day views of the fall foliage in the Tsurugajo City Park are more appealing. Parking fees are 300 Yen for 2 hours. Or, it takes about 30 minutes (2.8km) to walk from the Aizuwakamatsu Station. 1105-06

One of the pretty decent castle in Japan. Not as nice as osaka castle but very similar in size and shape. Did not get to enter but just looking at the surrounding area from the outside. You just need to pay for parking for 300 yen. Need to buy another ticket to enter. We arrived late at 4pm. Places starting to close but we are allowed to wonder around outside the castle.

鶴ヶ城 🐶ワンちゃんも入城できますが、お城の中まで、入れません。 🏯お城の周りをのんびりと散歩できます。 🏯有料駐車場があります。 🏯会津の有名なお城 🏯お城は、改装が終わり綺麗になっています。 😊 白虎隊で有名なお城 (Translated by Google) Tsuruga Castle 🐶Dogs can also enter the castle, but they cannot go inside the castle. 🏯You can take a leisurely walk around the castle. 🏯There is a paid parking lot. 🏯Famous castles in Aizu 🏯The castle has been renovated and is now beautiful. 😊 Castle famous for Byakkotai

It was a really nice place to go have a look around. The tickets were more than fairly priced and castle grounds themselves were extremly neat and well cared for. The history of the castle was very interesting and well presented. I had a really nice time. Its a shame that so many tourists around japan are rude, especially at tourist attractions.

Don’t need to buy ticket in advance. From outside, it looks beautiful but inside is a bit disappointed. I expect to see how did the Lord live in the past, for example how did they eat and work. Inside is just a list of history events.

The outside of the castle is beautiful. The museum inside is well made, but I don't know if it's worth it if you don't speak japanese. Very few of the information were translated in english.

Beautiful grounds. Not much English written on the descriptions inside the castle so you might want to read ahead to have an overview of what happened. 30 minutes walk from Aizuwakamatsu station. There’s also a tour bus with single tickets 270 yen or a day pass 600 yen that stops at the main tourist sites.

2023.11 新潟からワンコと共に。 🅿️西側の駐車場、舗装はされてない🅿️で料金は300円。 反対側の方が舗装されてる駐車場が有ります。 城内は無料で、お城の中に入るのに料金がかかります。 城内には、自販機や茶屋が有ります。 紅葉時期なので、けっこうなお客さん。 また、🌸春にでも来たいですね。 (Translated by Google) 2023.11 With a dog from Niigata. 🅿️The parking lot on the west side is not paved🅿️ and the fee is 300 yen. There is a paved parking lot on the opposite side. Admission to the castle is free, but there is a fee to enter the castle. There are vending machines and a tea shop inside the castle. Since it's the autumn leaves season, there are quite a few customers. I would like to come again in the spring.

The castle was opened at night from 3/2-10/2 for winter festival. Tickets were sold on site without a queue. It was a completely different experience with lights up compared to daytime. There was a mini festival with food stalls and an area for people to eat. Amazing place to visit!

It was really pleasant walking around the Castle grounds and admiring the Castle's magnificence. Luckily for us the weather was unseasonably warm and dry with sunshine. Inside the Castle itself there is lots of historical information and plenty in English too, all wonderfully presented. We learnt an extensive amount about the Castle, the Boshin War, the Byakkotai and more. It was quite an emotional journey through history. The gift shop was well stocked with souvenirs, foods, sake and other drinks.

Very beautiful castle for an Autumn visit. I also believe in Spring it is surrounded by cherry blossoms. Included in the ticket price for the castle is entry to the tea ceremony garden, where for an extra 800 yen you can actually have some tea and dessert. What really disappointed me about this castle was the lack of translation available. That sounds so pretentious going to a foreign country and expecting English everywhere, but the Japanese government wants to encourage tourism outside of the major cities. Through the castle grounds most signs had English, Chinese and Korean (as well as Japanese of course). But inside the castle was only Japanese. I love history, and the history of this castle is very interesting, but trying to Google translate every single thing is annoying. Even if I could purchase an audio guide I would be happy. At the end of the day I would definitely still go. I also timed it badly as I thought I could go to the museum next to it for a bit more info of the area, but I didn’t realize it closes on Monday.

Beautiful and easy to reach by bus. Great for cherry blossom viewing & has a really awesome gift shop!

Really scenic place, good for an afternoon walk around the area before picking up some souvenirs and moving to your next destination. You can also go to the top of the castle with a small entry fee.

Beautiful place. Base of the castle is still remaining and most of the other parts are renewed. Lot of historical items are divided floor wise and showed in a nice order. Some of the ruins, old stories and etc. photos are not allowed inside. View of city from the top floor is very beautiful. Entrance fee is ¥520.

Good view of the city from the hill. If you want to enter the temple it's 400yen, but you can climb the stairs(you can also pay for the escalator) and walk around for free. I really liked the cave next to the temple. There is a free parking lot nearby. (Just on the other side of the paid parking lot which is better marked) Dogs allowed outside

Amazing Japan National Heritage - Can’t say anything else. This is the only double-helix temple in the world, built around more than 200 years ago by some priests. All made by wood. All. The architecture design made the route from downstairs to upstairs is one way route, which made you never going to encounter anyone walking in the opposite direction. Mind-blown architecture and yes, worth to climb the stairs to see this temple.

Very unique double helix temple where you can climb one side up and go down the other side down and you aren't taking the same path! Also it's amazing there are so many stickers! They are senjafuda, which literally means “thousand-shrine tags,” and are posted by visitors to the shrine to mark their visit. Also if you are tall be prepared to crouch through it all.

It's an interesting curiosity that you can go all the way up and all the way down and not see another person. Also cool that it dates back to the mid Edo period and is noted to be the only wooden structure from that time period remaining in the entire world AND you actually get to go inside it 😀 which is an awesome experience.

Visiting this impressive structure in a snowstorm was incredibly beautiful and unforgettable. The dark tower against the white of the snow is gorgeous, and visitors can climb the twisting building through the interior. Really impressive and unique. An inexpensive escalator will take you up the hill, but after that it's stairs and pathways. It was also a bit difficult climbing up and down stairs, so cleats are encouraged in winter weather.

Very cool double helix structure temple built in the 1700s. It costs ¥400 to enter and walk to the top. There is a gift shop and other surrounding areas on the temple grounds to check out. The road is very narrow to drive up and down to get to a small parking lot next to the entrance. No parking fees

Besides the famous temple, there’s a river that runs around and makes it look cool in winter.

Super cool temple. Worth the visit. The temple grounds are beautiful as well. More to see there than just the temple.

worth visiting. you can reach this place by taking a loop bus then you can either climb the stairs (it is free) or use the slope way but you need to pay 250 yen (but if you have a loop bus ticket it also has a discount)

A Buddhist temple which was Constructed in 1796 entirely from wood, Sazaedo has a double-helix structure, meaning that those who enter Sazaedo will leave the temple without encountering anybody traveling in the opposite direction. The one-way route of Sazaedo was introduced to avoid worshippers being disturbed during prayer. It had never been rebuilt, or was there any major reconstruction that took place over all these years made it really special and historical. Sazaedo is the only wooden building with double helix structure in the world. Although it may be a little different from the style of tourism we have today, visitors have been coming to Sazaedo since the Edo period (1603-1867) to pray at the 33 kannon statues. As proof of their visit, visitors would stick their own personal label on the walls or ceiling of the temple. This label would usually have the visitor’s family name imprinted on it in beautiful calligraphy. This is the Edo period equivalent of writing ‘Emily woz ere 03/01/2004’. The tradition of leaving proof of your visit is still carried out today, although nowadays the religious labels are made from slightly stronger paper than their Edo period equivalents. The manager of Sazaedo urges tourists not to write their names on the walls though, as this may lead to them having to paint over the original wooden panels, undeniably damaging the charm of Sazaedo. Unlike many sightseeing spots in Japan, visitors can experience traditional Japanese history and culture without the need to understand any Japanese at all. Exploring the building in itself is really fun and can be enjoyed by all ages. That being said, Sazaedo can be appreciated on a number of levels.

Unique helix structure. Pay 400 yen to go up and down the building. Takes around 10 minutes

Sazaedo is a Buddhist temple built in 1796. The inside of the temple consists of a double-helix slope, meaning that visitors who come to pray will not meet anybody coming from the opposite direction. This one-way system makes Sazaedo extremely unique.

A very enjoyable mysterious experience. The double-helix, spiral staircase and all the stickers had us in silent wonderment. WOW.

A unique double helix wooden temple, thanks to youtube channel “Abroad in Japan” we visited this place in Fall 2023, and it’s amazing, especially in golden hour. Near the temple, also historical place for byakkotai warrior, legends said they saw tsuruga castle lit on fire from this place

Such a unique building. Never seen anything like the stairs here anywhere else in Japan. I’ve been to all 47 prefectures.

Double helix stairs like the Chateau de Chambord in France designed by Leonardo da Vinci. This one is of wood you can go up and down just going in one direction.

Very impressive. Not crowed at all. Worth 1.5 train ride just to come to this place. No need to use escalator. If you walk further to the left, there is a short road to the temple. Not steep at all, just 10-15 walk without sweat.

Unique temple where you go up one way and down another- you don’t see the people going down. A nice architectural marvel, but the shops along the street were closed.

(Translated by Google) [Spots where you can go sightseeing with dogs and leads] ■ Parking lot If you park on the right side of the post office, opposite the road of the folk art hall, on the left side across the road of Seven-Eleven, where you wrote "free parking lot" An employee of a souvenir shop called "Yamaga Iimoriyama store" (Ojisan in my case) catches me, but if I buy ice cream on my way home, he will forgive me, so it's better to park here. If you park here, you will be advised to use the "moving walkway" (250 yen) on Mt. Iimori from the back of the store, and you will climb on the moving walkway along the approach. When I see a school trip student climbing while saying the approach to the shrine, I feel relieved that I'm glad I got on it. Pets are OK with leads, but since my house is scary, I climbed with a hug. ■ Summit There are various shooting spots around the square, such as the Tomb of the White Tiger Corps, so you can enjoy it quite a bit. However, since the return trip to "Place of Byakkotai" is climbing, all the elderly have given up. I searched for Aizu Castle from the top, but I couldn't understand it because it was quite far away. ■ Goshuin There is a souvenir shop called "Iimori Branch" on the side of the top of the stairs on the approach road, and it says, "You can only buy the real red stamp here." A red stamp that I have already written is on sale. (Two types were sold in the size of a red stamp book) ■ Aizu Sazae Temple There is no "moving walkway" because the return is downhill. After the souvenir shop, if you go down the side of the approach, you will see the three-storied pagoda, but here is also a shooting spot. I think it's unusual because the building is spiral. It seems that you can see the inside for a fee, but are pets OK? I didn't hear it. ■ Itsukushima Shrine & Tonoguchi Weir Cave Further down from Aizu Sazae-do, you will see a shrine and a pond, but I think this is also a shooting spot. At my time, it was an unpopular spot, partly because there were many students, so it was quite healed. ■ Saga Mochiya Further down, I saw the teahouse resting place, what is now called the "terrace seat", and took a break with the rice cakes that had been made here. He said that walnuts are popular. ■ Yamaga Iimoriyama store On my way home, I stopped by this shop and said he wouldn't forgive me if I didn't buy anything, so I bought Akabeko. .. All of Coco's clerk. If you don't buy something, it will be open forever, so you will lose. ..

Amazing views

(Translated by Google) There is a charge to go, but it is easier to use the escalator. Mt. Iimori has not only the tombs of Byakkotai's self-determination, but also various attractions, so it would be good to have plenty of time to go sightseeing. (Original) 行きは有料ですがエスカレーターを使われると楽です。 飯盛山には白虎隊自決の地お墓だけではなく、様々な見所がありますので時間に余裕もって観光されるとよいと思います。

(Translated by Google) Speaking of Aizuwakamatsu, the white tiger corps. Speaking of Byakkotai, Iimoriyama. There are two routes to Mt. Iimori: clockwise from Sazaedo and counterclockwise from Byakkotai Jihajichi. It is recommended that you can move around counterclockwise because it is like an automatic slope with a small amount of money. Much steeper and more interesting than the Glover Garden one. The scenery from the land of the self-blade is very pleasant, but thinking that the white tiger corps ended up with the self-blade is quite motivating. (Original) 会津若松と言えば白虎隊。 白虎隊と言えば飯盛山。 飯盛山は時計回りでさざえ堂から回るルートと、反時計回りで白虎隊自刃の地から回るルートの二通りがあります。 反時計回りの際は少額で自動スロープみたいなので移動できてお勧め。グラバー園のやつより遙かに急勾配で面白い。 自刃の地からの景観は大変気持ちいいものだが、白虎隊はそれ故に自刃に至ったと思うとなかなかモヤるものだ。

(Translated by Google) Once again, the tragedy of the Boshin War and the Byakkotai soldiers I learned a lot! Although it was a weekday, it was a popular spot. It was crowded with so many people! Mt. Iimori has a lot to offer, but here the Byakkotai soldiers were able to do it on their own. When you think about it, it's a really painful tourist attraction. (Original) 改めて戊辰戦争と白虎隊士の悲劇を 勉強させて頂きました！ 平日でしたが、人気スポットとあり 大変たくさんの人でにぎわっておりました！見所盛りだくさんの飯盛山ですが、この場で白虎隊士が自力した と思うと、本当に辛い観光名所です

子供の時以来の訪問です。坂道が厳しいですが、有料のエスカレータが利用できます。高齢者には便利なサービスです。鶴ヶ城は大体の位置はわかりましたが良く視認できませんでした。胸が熱くなった。駐車場は公営の無料駐車場もあります。並んでいましたが、GW5月　待ち時間5分程度。

(Translated by Google) The Aizu War produced many tragedies during the Boshin Campaign, but the first that comes to mind is the tragedy of the Byakkotai Junior Division 2. On the first day of the Aizuwakamatsu Castle siege, on August 23rd of the lunar calendar, 20 members of the Byakkotai who escaped from the battle and were trying to return to the castle at Mt. He killed himself, but in reality, the mansion below the castle was only on fire and the castle had not fallen. (Actually surrendered after one month) The end of the Byakkotai was unknown for a long time, but it became known to the public through the sole survivor, Sadakichi Iinuma. I couldn't enter the museum because it was closed in the afternoon, but I felt solemn when I visited the grave of the Byakkotai soldiers and the place of self-determination. (Original) 戊辰の戦役において会津戦争は多くの悲劇を生み出したが、その中でも真っ先に思いつくのは白虎隊士中二番隊のたどった悲劇である。 会津若松城籠城戦の初日、旧暦の8月23日に飯森山にて戦からのがれ城へ戻ろうとしていた白虎隊士の20人は遠方の鶴ヶ城が燃えていると錯覚し次々と自害したが、実際には城下の屋敷が燃えているだけで落城していなかった。(実際には一ヶ月後に開城降伏している) 長らく白虎隊の最後は知られていなかったが、唯一生き残った飯沼定吉により世間に知られるようになった。資料館はたまたま午後から休業で入る事が叶わなかったが、白虎隊士の墓や自決の場所を訪れると、厳粛な気持ちになる。

(Translated by Google) It was a sad place where the Byakkotai committed suicide. From the top of the mountain, the view of Tsuruga Castle and the castle town that the soldiers are said to have seen in their final moments is both beautiful and sad. In addition to the graves of those who died by suicide, there was also the grave of Sadakichi Iinuma, the only survivor who ushered in a new era, and I walked around thinking about it. The Aizu-Wakamatsu clan turned from a loyal vassal to a rebel army, but I was impressed by the deep sense of loyalty even the young soldiers had at the time. I think this is an essential place to learn about Japanese history at the end of the Edo period. (Original) 白虎隊自刃の地となった哀しい場所でした。山頂からは最期に隊士達が見たといわれる鶴ヶ城と城下町の景色が広がっており、美しくも哀しい気持ちになります。自刃によって亡くなった方々のお墓のほかに、唯一生き残って新時代を切り開いた飯沼貞吉さんのお墓もあり、想いを馳せながら回りました。忠臣から一転して賊軍になってしまった会津若松藩ですが、当時少年だった隊士達にも深い忠義の心があったのかと感銘を受けました。幕末の日本史を学ぶ上では、欠かせない場所だと思います。

(Translated by Google) Whenever I go to Aizu, I always stop by and visit the Byakkotai grave. There is a charge, but it is easier if you use the slope conveyor. The interior is decorated with illustrations of double cherry blossoms. (Original) 会津に行くと必ず立ち寄り、白虎隊のお墓にお参りします。有料ですがスロープコンベア利用すると楽チンです。内部には八重の桜のイラストが飾ってありますよ。

(Translated by Google) I think everyone has heard the name "Byakkotai" at least once. There is a place where those people committed suicide and a grave. It's on a hill, so you can see a wonderful view of Aizu. My heart ached as I looked at the beautiful scenery and thought of the precious lives that were lost for the sake of Aizu. Please light some incense while looking at the last view they saw (although it has changed since then). I just pray for their souls. (Original) 「白虎隊」と、いう名前は誰しも一度は聞いた事があるかと思います。 その方々が自害された場所、そしてお墓があります。 高台になっており、会津の素晴らしい景色が見れます。 そして、その美しい景色を見ながら会津の為に散っていった尊い命を想うと胸が痛みました。 彼らが見た最後の景色（当時とは変わっていますが）を、是非見ながらお線香をあげてみて下さい。 彼らの冥福を祈るばかりです。

(Translated by Google) It will be on a hill overlooking Aizu city. There are the graves of the Byakkotai who committed suicide during the Aizu War and Sazaedo. The front stairs are a bit long, so we recommend climbing clockwise from the direction of Itsukushima Shrine. (Original) 会津市内を見渡せる高台になります。会津戦争で自刃した白虎隊の墓やさざえ堂などがあります。正面の階段は少し長いので厳島神社の方から時計回りに登るのがおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Iimoriyama became the historical setting for the Byakkotai that was passed down to future generations and caused the tragedy of the Byakkotai due to the tragedy of the Boshin War❗ They are 16-17 years old in current years, but they were 15 years old in those days❗It is said that some of them even read Saba when they were 13 years old and volunteered! It was at this place that he hid from the enemy army and ended up injured... The place where children who were still young saw the castle from this place... Mistaking the fact that the castle was on fire and believing that the Aizu clan had been defeated, the young Byakkotai and the others committed suicide... ✳️There may be some who laugh at me for being foolish, but there is no doubt that the Aizu clan's feelings were one and the same.❗ It is a frustrating and sad reality that the existence of the Byakkotai was passed on to future generations due to the presence of "Iinuma Sadakichi" who missed the vital point! Since Iinuma, who was planning to die with everyone, must have suffered a lot, Iinuma's grave is located a little further down from the graves of the 19 samurai, in order to be close to everyone❗ Iinuma's existence is extremely important, and without his testimony, the existence of the Byakkotai may never have been known. People have a history ❗ At that exact moment, it was carved into history... Nowadays, it is known as a tourist destination for school excursions, and it is also a place suitable for learning about history, so I think this is also an important memorial service❗ ✳️There is a difference of 2.8 kilometers from this place to the castle! This is a very sad story, as if there had been any fire surrounding it due to the climate at the time, it might have looked like the castle was on fire... August 23rd, after Obon, is the day when the Byakko troopers committed suicide here at Iimoriyama❗ One month later, the castle will be surrendered❗ I wonder how history would have been different if time had been a little slower...❔ I probably learned this on a school trip when I was an elementary school student, but when I learn it as an adult, I can feel the pulse even more... As a short sightseeing trip to Aizuwakamatsu, I thoroughly enjoyed a small school trip for adults.

(Translated by Google) There is a grave where the Byakkotai committed suicide. The stairs looking up from below looked difficult, so I took the slope conveyor to get there. (Original) 白虎隊自刃の地、お墓がある。 下から見上げた階段が大変そうだったので、行きはスロープコンベアで登った。

Amazing place that used to be the residence of a high level samurai. You get the visit the estate and go into some of the rooms. The place is teeming it’s history some of it a bit gruesome like the room where the wife and her followers committed suicide to free their lord to go fight the Boshin rebellion. Worth visiting

For me, it is a photogenic place. The scenery of the mountains of Aizu and samurai residences resonates with me. Of course, you can learn about the history of Aizu and the tragedy of the Aizu clan. Unfortunately, explanations of the exhibits are mostly in Japanese, which is difficult for foreigners to understand. It is a 10-minute walk from Higashiyama Onsen, so it is recommended to visit before or after going to the Onsen. The following is the description of the pamphlet in English. What is the Aizu Bukeyashiki? In the Edo Period, Aizu was a symbolic samurai town that supported the Tokugawa shogunate. However, in the second half of the 19th century, the Aizu clan became caught up in the maelstrom of the Boshin War, a civil war that broke out during Japan's transition from the feudal system to an emperor system. Before long, the castle town of Aizu was exposed to the flames of war, and the Bukeyashiki was almost completely destroyed by fire. The people of Aizu, lamenting this, took the finding of drawings of the chief retainer's residence (SAIGO Tanomo's residence) as an opportunity for the basis of thorough background research, and planned a restoration. In 1975, the present day "Aizu Bukeyashiki" was completed, including period buildings such as the historical archive, tearoom, and administrative headquarters. Experience for yourself the historical culture of the samurai era. On the premises, there is a restaurant and souvenir shop, and you can also enjoy painting folk crafts and trying archery.

Rich in history, very well laid out, easy to know the route with well placed signs, good plaques explaining what different things are, and a very nice gift shop at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Much better than the castle.

Beautiful historic grounds in Aizuwakamatsu! When you purchase a ticket to go inside you are greeted by wonderful staff and a nice warm rice sweet drink which is great during the winter season! From there it's a self guided tour through the historic samurai residence filled with great history and exhibits! I definitely recommend especially if you're taking the tour bus route!

A huge Samurai houses. The main one reminds me English palaces. You can enjoy seeing around.

Literally the best samurai residence for me so far. The place is HUGE and it has a lot of information (especially if you can read Japanese). I spent a good part of my visit to Aizu here.

A beautiful place. The preserved manor is very interesting and pretty, the archery at the end was really fun.

It's takes time about 30. Nice view.

(Translated by Google) Iimoriyama is the last place of the Byakkotai, which you must visit when you visit Aizu. The graves and cenotaphs of the 19 samurai are located at the top of more than 100 steps, and from here you can get a panoramic view of the town of Aizu. Those with walking disabilities can use the paid ``walking path'' next to the stairs. However, please note that you will have to use your own feet to get down. In that case, we recommend that you use the slope next to the stairs to go down. Along the stairs leading up to the slope, there is an exhibition hall related to the Byakkotai, and beyond that there is Sazaedo and a garden, so I think it's a good idea to take your time and walk down the slope slowly. (Original) ここ飯盛山は会津観光に訪れたら必ずお参りする白虎隊最後の地。 十九士のお墓や慰霊碑は百数十段の階段を登ったたところに位置し、ここからは会津の町を一望することが出来る。 足の不自由な方は階段脇にある有料の「歩く歩道」を利用することができる。ただし、下りる時はご自分の足で降りなくてはならないのでご注意の程を。その時には、階段横にある坂道を利用いて下りるとをお勧めする。 坂道に通じる階段途中には白虎隊に関連する展示館、その向こうにはさざえ堂、お庭などもあるので、時間をとってゆっくり坂道を降りてくるとよいと思う。

(Translated by Google) A young boy soldier pledges loyalty to the castle lord. The place where he committed suicide. It was a place where I felt a sense of loneliness. The best place to take pride in walking is the stairs on the approach to the shrine. I'm on a moving lift. However, there are stairs below. (Original) 若き少年兵士が、城主への忠誠を誓い 自害した場所。 何か寂しさを感じた場所でしたね。 足自慢は参道の階段を。私は動くリフトで。 しかしながら、下は階段ですよ

(Translated by Google) Climb the long stairs up Mt. Iimori By using an electric slope If you go to the top, you can see a panoramic view of Aizuwakamatsu city. The grave is also on the mountain. If you actually look at the city and Tsuruga Castle Tsuruga Castle is really I couldn't see it, it was just a dot. The young Byakkotai committed suicide here. A really cute story. Put your hands together while thinking I looked out over the city.

There is also a shrine, where you can get a stamp. (Original) 歴史ファンなら　見所いっぱいな気がします。 白虎隊のお墓に御線香をあげてる方が結構いました。売店で販売していました。 神社もあり、御朱印ももらえます。

Very serene garden to escape from the city and enjoy quiet, peaceful nature. The paths meander around the water and into the plants allowing you to get an immersive experience. The variety of plants is very interesting, especially when they are blooming. I went in May so the weather was incredibly nice. The staff was very friendly.

For its small size it packs a punch. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and the place only had three other groups. I only spent about 30 minutes here but if you're really going slow and stop for a cup of tea it could take an hour and a half to two hours. Remember to show your day bus pass of you have one to receive a yen discount!

As always with Japanese gardens, this one didn't disappoint. Such sense of calm and Zen all around. It wasn't crowded at all and it was great to just sit and enjoy the sound of the flowing stream. Please note that although most or it is wheelchair/stroller accessible, there are areas rhat youll have a hard time navigating with a stroller or a wheelchair.

I was here in February, so couldn't see the medicinal plant garden but the stroll garden was absolutely amazing -- and I've been to a lot. It's compact but well-composed, so feels like another world even though it's in the middle of a nondescript neighborhood. We were alone the whole time except when a tour group trooped though. The matcha set and gift shop are good too, bought medicinal herb tea and honey at the latter.

Perhaps it was just the time of year, but many of the plants were seemingly in distress. Shame that the small tea house in the center of the garden was not open. The gift shop had some interesting herbal mixtures, though.

A picturesque little garden, surrounding a large pond with koi and ducks. The garden is calm and relaxing. The matcha and sweet from the tea house are delicious and the view is beautiful

I visited during the candlelight festival.

Stunningly serene garden with on emphasis on medicinal plants. It was a wonder to stroll along the paths and enjoy the scenery.
