This majestic valley was carved by the Takase River flowing through the Abukuma Highlands. Visitors can enjoy the striking contrast between sheer rock faces, clear streams, and colorful foliage. The autumn leaves are particularly spectacular; walking through the valley as it turns brilliant red and yellow allows you to feel the energy of Fukushima's deep wilderness firsthand. It is a hidden gem where you can experience both silence and the dynamic pulse of untouched nature.

Boasting a history of over 1,000 years and designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, this is a globally rare festival originating from military exercises.

The pride and spirit of the samurai, combined with the dynamic movement of man and horse as one, is a breathtaking sight for international tourists seeking to experience true Bushido culture.
