Experience Nature & Samurai Culture, Early Autumn in Nikko and Aizu, Japan
EntSun News/10780640
Travel from Asakusa,Tokyo to Nikko (113 miles) and Aizu (55 miles further) to Combine an Early Experience of Fall at Japan's Highest Altitude Lake with an Introduction to Samurai Culture in a Castle town.
NIKKO, Japan - EntSun -- The Northern part of Honshu, Japan's main island, offers so much in the autumn. Nikko's majestic Lake Chuzenji – Japan's highest altitude lake – is approximately a two-hour train ride north of Tokyo's Asakusa station, followed by a 30-minute bus ride. Here, colorful foliage arrives about a month earlier than in Tokyo. After enjoying the vivid colors and natural surroundings, travelers should continue to Ouchi-juku (20 miles) to immerse themselves in samurai culture and street scenes preserved as if in the Edo period. Next their journey (6.2 miles) should take them to the Aizu Clan School Nisshinkan, to learn more about Japan and its historic culture.
Fall Colors Come Early in the Area Around Nikko's Lake Chuzenji
A Tobu Chuzenji-ko cruise offers picturesque 360°panoramic views of the fall colors. The boat is scheduled to operate in the early morning between mid-October and early November (Departs every hour from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm). In June 2019, the new Embassy Villa Memorial Park Pier opened, now allowing sightseeing cruises to take passengers directly to the Italian Embassy Villa Memorial Park, which is refurbished to its former glory, as of April 2019. Next visitors move on to the British Embassy Villa Memorial Park, with its stunning lake views. Both venues offer light meals.

Aizu offers the Experience of Edo Period Traditions and Samurai Culture
A 10-minute taxi ride from Yunokami Onsen Station (30 min. from Nishi Wakamatsu Station) on the Aizu Railway is Ouchi-juku, a village preserved in samurai period style. With rows of thatched roofs, the traditional scene takes travelers back in time. Visitors can soak up the atmosphere and then try the local food favorite: negi soba -- buckwheat noodles served with a single long leek instead of chopsticks!
The recommended itinerary continues to Aizu Wakamatsu Station (15 min. by taxi). Here visitors explore the Aizu Clan School Nisshinkan, a former samurai school, where 1000 local warriors' children learned the samurai culture. After viewing the traditional buildings and seeing how the samurai children studied, visitors can experience traditional archery, zazen meditation, and akabeko painting (of a toy wooden cow, a popular local handicraft). Finally, the trip ends with a tasting session at Homare Sake Brewery in Kitakata (10 min. by taxi from Kitakata Sta., JR Ban'etsu West Line), a century-old establishment with an attractive garden, especially when the golden and crimson colors of fall are in view.
