Hidari-kudari Kannon Temple

An impressive Kannon hall built using the "Kake-zukuri" (overhanging) architectural style on a steep cliffside. A serene atmosphere reminiscent of its days as a place of ascetic training lingers here, and the view overlooking the Aizu Basin from the hall is exceptional. This wooden structure, integrated with the natural rock face, showcases traditional Japanese architectural techniques and a profound reverence for nature. Though the path is a bit rugged, it is a hidden power spot where you can feel the weight of history in total silence.

Tono-hetsuri Crags

A scenic spot featuring a series of tower-shaped crags formed by erosion and weathering over a staggering one million years. "Hetsuri" means "cliff" in the local dialect. Visitors can cross a suspension bridge and walk along the rock face, feeling the dynamic sculptural beauty of nature up close. The contrast between the white cliffs, the vibrant autumn leaves, and the emerald green of the river is particularly breathtaking.
