An ancient logistics route that once connected the Aizu region with Gunma Prefecture. Today, it is maintained as a trekking course through beech forests and marshes, allowing hikers to feel the remnants of historic post towns and checkpoints. The colors of the trees are especially spectacular during the autumn foliage season, forming a tunnel of vibrant leaves. It is a luxurious route where you can walk through the deep nature and history of Fukushima while breathing the same air as travelers of old.

Mt. Aizu-Komagatake

One of Japan’s 100 Famous Mountains located in Hinoemata Village, this is a sacred site for hikers. Near the summit, there are vast marshes and small ponds called "Chitou" that stretch out without obstruction. Lovely alpine plants in early summer and golden grasses in autumn color the mountain, earning it the description "Paradise in the Sky." The path from the trailhead to the summit is not easy, but the breathtaking view at the top provides an unforgettable sense of achievement.
