It is a public hot spring of white color. I smell the boiled egg. Adults can take a bath at a cheaper rate of 250 yen. If both men and women take a bath, you can book a private bath. Even if there is a tattoo, bathing is not refused.

＜October 22,2018 - April 19,2019＞museum closed for winter Teizo Morohashi (1934-2003), founder of XEBIO Corporation.He spent roughly 10 years collecting works of art for a museum. He donated these, together with the museum site, buildings, and other facilities, to the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art Public-Interest Foundation based on his vision of “Enabling a wide range of people to enjoy and experience numerous masterpieces of Western modern art.” That marked the opening of the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art in the picturesque Aizu-Bandai-kogen area of his home prefecture of Fukushima in 1999. The museum’s collection of Dali works is the third largest in the world after those of the Dali Museum in the U.S. state of Florida and the Dali Theatre and Museum in Figueres, Spain, and it is the only museum in Asia where Dali’s works are on permanent exhibit.

I knew through my research that I wanted to visit this and was impressed that a building like this existed let alone you can go in it and climb to the top (a steep ramp) one ramp up - one ramp down. I think it was worth the visit.

like many re-built castles, Tsuruga-jo is a historical museum in a town with a rich samurai history. From the lookout at the top of the Castle, there are panoramic views of the city, and on the way out, a large gift shop. Definitely worth visiting when you are in the city

Naturally formed beauty created over the course of 80 million years. Lining 600m of the cave is what is said to be the greatest number and variety of stalactites in Asia. There’s a lot to see in Takine Goten, the largest hall in the cave, including the Tsuki no Sekai, which features the first light control system for stage productions ever introduced in a Japanese limestone cave. Enjoy this mysterious and impressive underground fantasy world.
10. Aizu Old Samurai Residences

This place is a must visit for people with the slightest interest in the Edo period as it gives a very good picture of how the upper ranked samurai lived. The mansion is actually a recreation of the residence of a senior retainer of the Aizu clan in the late Edo period. Visitors are not allowed to get into the building, but are expected to walk around the ground, looking at the various rooms from the outside. Signage in both English and Japanese provide a clear picture of the layout of the mansion and what each room was used for. The mansion was divided into sections such as those used to house honoured guests, the residential section, those used for official purpose, those used by guards, those used by maids, kitchen, rice mill (!) and even a recreation of rooms used by bachelor retainers. I've been to other samurai residences/districts such as that in Kakunodate, but this structure provided me with the clearest and most informative picture of how an upper ranked samurai household looked like. I was pleasantly surprised and although 850 yen admission fee was indeed pretty costly, it was worth the knowledge I gained. There is a well-stocked gift shop at the exit, and a small museum (admission included) inside the residence itself. There is a loop townbus bus-stop just a few steps away from the entrance.
