Nice park. Free entry. Was under maintenance during my visit. The coloured tracks are easy to follow, but if you head off towards the "observatory" you'll likely not see much else. I walked for a couple of hours following poorly marked signed which lead nowhere in particular. Nice and peaceful, but with a lot of tree cover blocking most of the views.

There are not many flowers in the summer time. But tree trails and the chirping cicadas makes u embrace the natural environment. Three are 30, 45, 60 mins courses. We took the 60 one. It’s easy to walk. But seems not well maintained, may cause by the off season.

We visited on a rainy day but the rain cleared and we got to see all the wonderful blossoms (16th April). We did the 60 minute walking loop, there is a 30 and a 45 minute loop too. I enjoyed the 60 minute loop as you get a beautiful view from the top of the hill. As it was a rainy day it was not busy, but I can imagine it gets very busy.

Amazing place! There are several varieties of flowers beyond cherry blossoms, so the park can be enjoyed throughout a long time during spring (also summer when it's hydrangea season). Since the name of the park suggests it is a mountain, so expect some hiking. The walk to the summit may take around one hour (a bit longer if you stop to admire the flowers and take some pictures). The view from the top is really nice. You're able to appreciate Fukushima city from above while surrounded by flowers. No fees are needed to enter the park. Went there on the 6th of April 2024.

I went there during the full cherry blossom bloom on April 10, 2025. I spent half a day there, and it was bursting with vibrant colors—not just pink! Highly recommended!

Visited on Tuesday 8 April 2025. Beautiful weather in the morning for the astounding views. We did the 60min course which was not a problem for those without walking issues. Only one slightly short steep slope downhill towards the last part. They had some walking poles at the start of the course. There was quite a Q at the bus stop. So since there were 3 of us, we took a taxi (¥1800 per trip) from the Fukushima East exit. We showed them the pamphlet which we took from the Tourist Office at Fukushima station. The bus is ¥500 return. It was full bloom during our visit. Praise the Lord.

Really enjoyed the park and festivities. Quite crowded. However there is a hill to the left when looking at hanamiyama that has just as many if not more flowers and less crowds. Enjoyed that more even though both were great. Parking was really far away and you’re charged 500¥ pp for the return bus but it was well organised and caused little delay. Expected with crowds

Between mountains and orchards, Fukushima breathes — sweet with peaches, resilient beneath clear skies. The Tōhoku Main Line passes softly, carrying both memory and renewal. Tourist Tip: Transfer to Ou and Iizaka Lines. Visit hot springs, fruit orchards, and Hanamiyama Park in spring. City of quiet hospitality and perseverance.

Just be aware that there is 3 part to Fukushima station. The Shinkansen, and two different local lines. I was going to go Iizaka onsen, but didn't realise there was a third part to the station - The Fukushima Transportation Iizaka line. And then even there there is two different ticketing box. Make sure you get the right one! Very confusing, but thank god for the internet

Decent station to catch other lines for out into central Japan. Now go find these small stations I posted pictures of out there. Enjoy the country and the people. So calm from noisy Tokyo.

Three reasons Fukushima Station is Japan's gift to trainspotters: 1) Fukushima is a minor station so around half of Shinkansens pass through at full speed. Viewing from the platform is an absolute rush, akin to a fighter jet fly-by, the infrastructure surrounding the station dramatically amplifies the noise creating a tsunami of sound. 2) The station is situated within the only part of the entire Shinkansen network (between Utsunomiya and Morioka) that currently has the maximum 320 km/h speed limit. 3) There's a small mountain about 1 km North of the station which the Shinkansen line passes through. On it, there is a natural observation point almost directly above the track that gives you a perfect aerial view of the Shinkansens. It's an easy 1-hour hike (maximum) from the station and the view of the city in general is tremendous (worth the walk in itself). Navigate to 'Karasugasaki Observation Deck'. Note, there is a short pre-recorded announcement on the platform that precedes each Shinkansen that's passing through (it is repeated several times, so you get plenty of warning). It's in Japanese only and roughly translates to "Please be careful as the inbound train will pass soon". These announcements are East/West platform-specific based on the closest express track to that platform, this lets you determine which direction the Shinkansen is coming from. As a rule, if you hear the announcement come from the platform you are on look right. If you hear the announcement come from the other side look left. The are a number of other stations in the network where you can catch a fly-by but none are as uniquely featured as Fukushima, it is truly the gem of the crown. Happy trainspotting, you won't regret it!

Nice station, it was renewed for the 2020 Olympics so it’s very pretty on the outside too. There is a tunnel beneath the station if you need to cross from the east to west side without entering the ticket gates. Free 30 minute parking and drop off area on the west side perfect for cars. The east side does not have an area for cars to pull over!!

An average station and small city Koriyama is more better than fukushima

Easy to get tickets and board the train

Parked at the bottom of the crater and walked up, around and back down took us around 1.5 hours for a casual hike. Parking fee was Y500. Totally worth it for stunning views from the top of the crater.

What an amazing view!🌋　You can reach the summit around 10 minutes via stairs and walk around creter around 40 minutes. Very windy and thrilling spot, its worth to go! Don’t forget to wear proper shoes. 🥾

Very beautiful view from the top of volcano. I suggest to walk up the volcano from the left side and walk down to the right side is less slippery. I walked around 1 hour include taking photo

While in Fukushima, I was recommended to head up mount Azuma-kofuji to enjoy the view. So come the morning, I begin my ascent and instantly was met with fantastic views as I Drove up. Each 300 meters was another great photo spot and view of the area below. Once I reached the resting area at the top, I was greeted with more great views and a fun souvenir shop that second as an educational building. It was a great experience visiting but next time I will need to prepare as the sulfur smell from the active funnels was everywhere below the summit.

So beautiful!!!! There’s paid parking that cost 500 yen for the day. The drive up was gorgeous and once you get there, make sure you climb the steps up to the crater and walk all around the rim. It’s a spectacular view and a once in a lifetime experience that shouldn’t be missed. There is a restaurant and gift shop inside the main building along with toilets both inside and out. We found it easier to go up the left side of the crater and come down the right side and the slope on the right is milder.

Great place for hiking and viewing. The road as well as the parking place can get really crowded in high season. Came back for moon-lit night photography due to the popularity of this spot.

Great intermediate hike. I don’t recommend for first time hikers to solo but you’ll be fine in a group with experienced hikers. You don’t need expensive gear to make it to the top but nice boots and crampons wouldn’t hurt. The views from the top are worth the sweat.

Beautiful grounds but tourists beware, check the website to make sure it's open before you travel here. We found out the hard way the entire gallery was closed for a month due to installation of new displays. As of right now it is closed till October 11th 2024. Hope to return again.

We went to see the Friday road show from Ghibli and it was fantastic. The museum is super easy to access by train, and inside it's huge. Very nice place and wonderful event.

Beautiful museum. There is only the permanent exhibit at the moment so it takes maybe 30-45 minutes to see everything but the ticket for that part is only ¥280. There are coin lockers where you get your ¥100 back after. I will say though it was weirdly hot inside the museum. Also you can't take pictures inside the exhibit, only in the hall.

Was recommended by the hotel i was stay9ng at. They currently have an exhibition of Japanese wooden block prints. Fascinating stuff.

Small but unique and lovely permanent exhibition. 280 yen. We were the only two people in the gallery during our visit. Phones are not permitted (regardless of whether you're taking photos) except with a special armband if you need to translate hirigani by handwriting. The permanent exhibition can be completed in about 35 to 40 minutes. The museum has an excellent curry restaurant next to it.

Beautiful architecture, with a neo-zen vibe. The regular collection houses a Monet, a Pissaro, and several Chagall paintings.

Mostly works by local artists from Fukushima prefecture, and lots of interesting pieces to see. Not a large place. I looked at every piece and was finished in under an hour, then went next door to check out the prefectural library.

I visited on Jan 10 2025 and it’s was somewhat an uncomfortable and eerie experience to me. So as I went downstairs I went to the receptioniste, when I handed her the ticket included in the day pass, she appeared to be unhappy. I’m unsure what might have caused this. But she helped me with the hair band part so I guess it shouldn’t be a big deal. However, when I’m taking of my clothes an old Japanese woman got close to me and started to talk to me, I didn’t think too much at first. But then as I proceed to the bath, she gets closer and closer and asked me more unnecessary questions. I told her I don’t speak Japanese as it’s getting kinda over the line, she then started to say some not very nice words to me. I heard them (she and other customers) made hostile comments on me and I felt unsafe around them so I left. Just saying if ur non-local this place might not be friendly, it’s too dangerous to go alone💀The onsen was alright, not particularly good or bad.

Quite nice. Very hot. Nice view outside

This was the first time I went to a public bath. It has a nice interior, many lockers, although the aisle next to them is narrow and it's difficult to dress up standing there. It's good to note that they don't have body soap - probably because it's a public bath and not an onsen. I don't think that it's a rule but the onsens I have been so far usually had body soap and shampoo. The water pool is big enough and they have a warm and a hot one.

Small and relaxing onsen to use. Using the ticket machine, insert your money first and then push the correct button(s).

A small but very nice hotspring bath. Very reasonable and friendly,situated just a couple of minutes from the station

It was good 2 baths lots of lockers but no space if you want to get changed. Very narrow.

Refleshing …

Have lights in night time. A must go in fukushima during gingko trees season! Although we came late but it's still good!

I'm planning to go back there this year (2022), but seeing the updated photos of the park with too many kiosks is a big turn-off. The beautiful view of the place has been destroyed by the many kiosks. The good thing is that we were able to visit this place in 2021 when there were no kiosks. Going somewhere else this autumn instead.

It’s a beautiful place to spend time. But prepare to smell some dog shit.

This is the nice place to running or something. The area is wide and treated very well. There is a row of ginkgo which change its color from green to yellow in autumn. This street is photogenic.

Beautiful yellow trees

from fukushima station take bus on platfom 7 ..

Love this place 😍

It was an incredible foggy afternoon! Yea mid afternoon! The drive up was tough with visibility up to or less than 10-15m! We actually almost missed the bridge in the fog. The down side to this - of course not much to see of the valley but the flies!!!! The numerous amount of flies from the parking area (next to the restroom that probably never gets cleaned as it was very smelly too). The flies even ‘attacks’ you all the way to the bridge. Had to quickly take the picture and get out. Pull out the mask take the pic and put the mask or the hoodie back on. That took away the pleasantness of just hanging around to try to enjoy the foggy scenary. Was the fog caused by the many Onsen’s along the way at the bottom or mid mountain roads? Dunno. Quite a contrast to the clear beautiful pictures taken by others.

Amazing view from the observation deck.

Incredible autumn season and I met the awesome yellow leaves.

Lovely place to get 360 degree view, don't forget to go in parking area.

Nice stopping spot and good views

Amazing! just like above the sky

Fabulous place ❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) It's been a long time since I've climbed a mountain. Since I had some free time, I climbed Mt. Shinobu thinking it was a low-altitude mountain, but there were quite a few ups and downs. Since it's located in a town, I thought it was a mountain that had been touched by many people. There are many shrines, and people pray for the health and happiness of their families here and there. The theme song for Totoro is said to be set on Mt. Shinobu, and Totoro is likely to be found on this mountain. The cover photo seemed to be the scene of Satsuki and Mei leaving their house, so I couldn't help but take a photo. I was walking in the mountains, and it was a place that made me feel nostalgic.

(Translated by Google) We walked while listening to explanations about the history and geological strata from the Mt. Shinobu Research Society. It was nice to hike in the mountains after a long time, but it was difficult to walk because I was wearing sneakers. It was my first time climbing, and even though it is a low mountain, the cityscape of Fukushima City is beautiful from the top.

Great food... great view of horses from the middle of the course.

it is so nice here

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time because I wanted to see the horses. I don't know much about horse racing, so I learned that the horses don't always race, but on days when there are no races at Fukushima Racecourse, parking costs 500 yen, but admission is free. On race days, it seems that the first parking lot is so crowded that you can't park there. It seems that there is also an admission fee. It was my first time buying a betting ticket myself, and it was fun because you fill out the form yourself, like a lottery ticket like Lotto 6. Unlike the lottery, the pace is good, with the results being known in just a few minutes. Even if you don't buy a ticket, if you go through the underground passage and go near the center of the venue, you'll find a rose garden and a children's play area, so it's a space that even children and people who aren't interested in horse racing can enjoy✨ I'd like to come again😊 (Original) 馬を観てみたいと思って初めて行きました。 競馬に詳しくはないので、いつも馬が走ってるわけではないことを知りましたが、福島競馬場で開催されていない日は、駐車場代500円かかりますが、入場料は無料です。 開催日だと、第一駐車場には停めれないほど混むらしいです。 入場料もかかるらしいです。 初めて、馬券を自分で買ってみましたが、ロト6とかの宝くじのように自分で記入して買うのでちょっとしたワクワクがあって楽しかったです。宝くじと違って、結果が数十分後にはわかるっていうテンポの良さもよいです。 馬券を買わずとも、地下道を通って、場内の中心近くに行くと、ローズガーデン屋子どもの遊び場所などがあり、子どもも競馬に興味がない人でも楽しめる空間ありました✨ また来てみたいなと思いました😊

(Translated by Google) It is quite small compared to other racecourses in the center. There is free parking, but it is limited in number and the parking lots are full even on Saturdays, so be careful. Don't think of it as the same as Niigata. (Original) 中央の他の競馬場に比べるとかなり小さい。 無料の駐車場もあるが数が少なく土曜日でも会場前には満車になる為注意。新潟と同じようには考えてはいけない。

(Translated by Google) I went to the summer races. It was a small racecourse, but I still had fun. There aren't many places to eat, so you have to queue, but you can still buy something (lol) On race days, you can buy tickets online, but they also have same-day tickets. There is only one Turfy Shop, so we had to queue😅 (Original) 夏競馬行きました。 規模的には小さめな競馬場ですが、まぁそれなりに楽しめましたね。 食べる所は少ないから、結構並びますが、とりあえずは買えます(笑) レース開催日はネットで購入して入りますが、当日入場券もありました。 ターフィショップは1ヶ所しかないので、並びました😅

(Translated by Google) 40 years of horse racing experience! First time at a racecourse in 20 years! First time at Fukushima Racecourse! The old racecourse used to be full of trash on the ground, but now it's clean and there's not a single speck of trash! There's also a free bike parking area! I usually buy my tickets online, but it was so exciting to buy a paper ticket after such a long time! I did 2 races and didn't win😭 I went back to Sendai on the National 4 Okera Kaido road🤣 (Original) 競馬歴40年！ 競馬場は20年振り！ 福島競馬場は初！ 昔の競馬場は地べたにゴミだらけだったのに 今はゴミ１つ無く綺麗になったのですね！ 無料バイク駐輪場もあり！ いつもはネット購入ですが 久しぶり紙の馬券はドキドキしました！ 2Rやって当たりなし😭 国4オケラ街道で仙台へ帰りました🤣

(Translated by Google) I went to see the Tanabata Sho. I felt it was a little smaller than Nakayama. The course is tight, so there are many races where the front runners stay in front. The paddock is right next to the course and can be seen from the fourth floor. I think it would be good if they provided more bus services. (Original) 七夕賞を見に行きました。中山と比べて少し小さいと感じました。小回りのコースなので、前残りのレースが多いです。 パドックはコースからすぐで４階からも見れるようです。 もっとバス増発してくれれば良いと思います。

The famous Fukushima Enban Gyoza was worth the wait. The place is really popular so we had to stand in line for at least 30-40 minutes before we were seated. If you in Japan, you know a place is really popular when the queue is already long before the place has even opened shop. The service is quick and the gyoza were crunchy and delicious. The store offers beer and sake. Beer and gyoza is always a great combination. Must visit if you are in Fukushima.

They have amazing gyoza and the best foot bath in Iizaka!

(Translated by Google) It was my first time eating disk gyoza. They were crispy and a new texture I'd never experienced before with gyoza, so I ate them up in no time. The stir-fried offal and vegetables was also super tasty. It was a shame that rice wasn't on the menu, as the flavor goes so well with it. Since I was having dinner here, it was the right choice to choose the hot springs breakfast-only plan. I'd like to go again. (Original) 円盤餃子初めて食べました。 パリッパリで餃子で初めての食感でパクパク食べられます。 更にモツ野菜炒めも超美味しかったです。 ご飯がメニューに無いのが残念なくらいご飯に合う味です。 ここで夕食にするため温泉は朝食のみプランにして正解でした。 また行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) This is the main branch of Gyoza Terui, located near Fukushima Station. I stopped by on my way to Iizaka Onsen. It was 7:30pm on a public holiday, and I was able to get in after about a 20-minute wait. I wanted to order their famous round gyoza, but I wasn't all that hungry, so I was a little hesitant and ordered half a plate. When it arrived, each one was very small, and the half circle disappeared in an instant. I regret not having ordered just one plate from the start. It was delicious. The flavor was very light, probably due to the large amount of vegetables. (Original) 福島駅にある餃子の照井の本店。飯坂温泉に入るついでに寄りました。祝日19時半、20分ほどの待ちで入ることができました。円盤餃子が有名とのことで頼みたかったのですがお腹はそんなに空いてなかったのでビビって半皿いざ届くと一つ一つはとても小ぶりで半円は一瞬で消えました。初めから1皿にしておけばよかったと後悔。美味しかったです。野菜多めなのか味はとてもサッパリしていました。

(Translated by Google) I visited before 8pm on a Saturday. There were about 20 people in line. I waited for about 30 minutes before entering the restaurant. The round dumplings were almost fried, and were light enough that I could eat as many as I wanted. The stir-fried vegetables were also hot, and went well with beer. I had a very good time. (Original) 土曜日の20時前に訪問。20人ほど並んでました。30分ちょい並んで入店。円盤餃子は、揚げに近い感じで、軽い感じの餃子でいくらでも食べれるような感じです。野菜炒めも熱々で、ビールにあいます。とてもよい時間を過ごせました。

(Translated by Google) Disk gyoza! This is the signature dish in Iizaka Onsen! You can order 22 gyoza per person, or 11 for a half-person serving. The gyoza are half-fried and are certainly delicious. They mainly serve ramen and gyoza, but since it's an izakaya, the turnover is slow. The portions are also somehow limited. I can see why there's always a line. If you don't have to wait in line, this is a great place, but if you're willing to wait in line, you might be better off choosing another restaurant. There is a foot bath in front of the store, but the water was so hot, typical of Iizaka Onsen, that I couldn't get in. (Original) 円盤餃子！ 飯坂温泉の円盤餃子代表の店！ 1人前22個、半人前11個で頼めます。 餃子は半分揚げた感じで確かに美味しいです。 ラーメン餃子メインですが居酒屋なので回転は悪いです。 なんだか容量も悪いです。 行列ができる訳がわかります。 並んでなければ良い店ですが並んでまで食べるとなると他の店でも良いかも知れません。 店の前には足湯がありますが飯坂温泉らしい熱い湯なので入れませんでした。

(Translated by Google) First-time visitors may get lost due to the one-way streets and parking! As other reviews have mentioned, the wait time was about 20 minutes. The prices were reasonable. The food was delicious. Thank you. Iyasaka! 2025/09/28 (Original) 初めて来られる方は 付近の一方通行と駐車場の場所で、迷われるかもしれません！ 他のクチコミにもあるように 待ち時間は約20分くらいでした 値段も良心的で 美味しく頂きました、ありがとうございます いやーさか！ 2025/09/28

I needed to stop by Fukushima for a quick dinner. Because it was January 2nd and most places were closed, I had to look for quite a while before I was able to find this place, which happened to be open. Let me get down the good points first. The noodle was fantastic: very chewy and likely hand made. The stock was pretty good too. The service and atmosphere were decent, more or less what you expect from a family run ramen shop with an open kitchen. I was not super happy that the chasu on my plate was from a plastic container that sat at room temperature. While they were neatly placed on my plate, it was not hot like the noodles, and the taste was mediocre. I would recommend passing on the extra protein and only getting the noodles.

Ramen is covered by tons of roasted pork. Soy sauce based soup, curly noodle is matched with soup as this type of noodle is famous in Tohoku area.

Overpriced dirty, rusty, smelly and unappetizing restaurant. Your stomach does not hurt after consuming it but you do not feel satisfied. The owner is somewhat friendly. Overall, just an edible meal for a desperate man.

I lived in Fukushima in 2000/2001 and this fine establishment was our go to place for ramen. Plus great hospitality from the charasmatic and welcoming Genghis. Such good memories of nights spent in here. Ramen and Gyoza are sensational!! Genghis, if you read this review get in touch with me as a I have a video of you, Kachin, Dane and myself going to a motorcross event that I can share with you.

One of the best ramen I’ve had in Japan

Ramen with chilli paste is best for me. Chili pickle is best too.😊🙏🏻👍🏻

Pretty good ramen here also try their gyoza it was with a set that was about 12 bucks.

We decided to stop for lunch in Fukushima and came across Dateya Ramen, which is highly recommended as a must-try spot. As expected, there was a wait—nearly an hour to get in—but that’s a testament to its popularity. The shop is small, run solely by an elderly couple, so they can only accommodate a few customers at a time. The cozy, traditional atmosphere added to the charm. We ordered their signature char siu ramen, and it didn’t disappoint. The portions of char siu were generous, and the meat was incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth. As a ramen enthusiast, I was hoping for a bit more richness in the broth, but the exceptional char siu more than made up for it. Parking is available but limited, with space for just a few cars. Overall, Dateya Ramen is a delightful local gem. If you’re in the area and don’t mind waiting, it’s worth the stop to enjoy their standout char siu.

Be prepared for long queue. Inside have 17 seats but not all seats can be seated. We waited for 2 hours to eat the ramen but I think it was all worth it! Super clean soup base and meat was super soft and yummy! But was greeted by the elderly couple that serve with their heart. Love it ❤️

A very small, cute ramen shop run by an elderly couple. Only Japanese, no English menu. The ramen was fantastic and even though we waited for about 35 minutes even past 1:00pm, it was worth it!

Good ramen. I like the soup and grilled pork (チャーシュー) A married couple own this place, so the staff are only 2 people. The way they speak is so kind and thoughtful enough.

We endured the ultimate test of patience – a 1.5-hour line – and were finally granted access to this modest yet charming eatery, complete with swift service and an unsettling silence. But, boy, was the ramen worth it.

I assume it’s only the couple who run the store so waiting takes long time just to get in. There are few choices in the menu but the base soup was really good!

Very nice ramen shop! Delicate noodles with expertly crafted broth.

A classic izakaya-style spot popular with locals! This gyoza is a Fukushima specialty and we just had to try it! The gyoza were as expected, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside! Perfect with cold sparkling drinks, too bad we don’t drink beer haha! We also ordered karaage which was equally delectable. Loved the place, the food, and the service!

Came here for gyoza, wasn't disappointed but make sure you grab a good timing, as it is also a drinking place and also small, might wait ages for seats too. I feel like upstairs can be better optimised. But gyoza and karaage is good, Saba is ok. Good value.

Disappointed experience in this restaurant, not recommend! On the day we visited, my friends and I were guided to the second floor space, very small and noisy. The space can only accommodate four tables and three of them were all seated by old men and young men. They keep drinking, talking and laughing very very loudly. My friends and I cannot hear and talk to each other because of the noise. We have asked the owner if it is possible to change to another vacant table but we’re refused, without clear explanation. It seems like these men visit this restaurant frequently and the owner did not treat other customers with manner. Food is not bad, but sad atmosphere and service.

Emban (disc shaped) gyoza is its specialty. You can enjoy other wellknown food like tsukemono or sake here. Please be noted that: 1) you may have to wait in a que for 1 hour till getting to a table in holiday season, and 2) it has limited number of exclusive parking lots so you may have to park at charged parking. Other than those, everything is all right.

All dumplings are hand made and most impressed is the dipping source! Wonderful

Taste like homemade Gyoza. Very thin wrapper and not oily at all. Must try when you are in Fukushima city. About 5 mins walk from the station.

Good service with good food! A serving staff really friendly! Gyoza and Kara-age is really worth to come!😋

(Translated by Google) Mamadoru is delicious, but the cream box is really delicious. The combination of smooth cream and thick-sliced ​​bread is wonderful, and it ranks among the top local breads in Japan. The problem is that the expiry date is within the same day...I want other people to eat it too. A specialty that Fukushima Prefecture is proud of!

(Translated by Google) Sanmangoku is popular for Mamadoru. It seems that "Sanmangoku Fujiya" was changed to "Sanmangoku". It used to be in Omachi. Main street. It was more lively. A song by Mamadoru was played in a TV commercial. It seemed like I could hear it from the store. My memory is vague. The shop had a cafe, and we would eat cakes and pancakes there. It was delicious😋🍴💕 Omachi had everything from sweets shops to fish shops. I wonder if they all moved to the station building at some point. There are sweets all over the country that taste similar to Mamadoru. Milk flavored. However, Mamadoru has a nice moist texture. It's great as a souvenir or a snack. (Original) ままどおるが人気の三万石。「三万石不二屋」改め「三万石」らしい。 以前は、大町にあった。メインストリート。そちらの方がにぎやかだった。テレビのCMで、ままどおるの歌が流れていた。お店からも、聞こえていたような。記憶が曖昧。 お店には喫茶室があり、ケーキやホットケーキをいただいたものだ。美味しかった😋🍴💕 大町には、お菓子屋さんも、魚屋さんも、何でもあった。 いつの間にか、皆で駅ビルに移った、ということだろうか。 全国にも、ままどおるに似た味のお菓子があります。ミルク味の。でも、ままどおるは、しっとり感が良い。おみやげにも、おやつにも、良いなあ。

(Translated by Google) Speaking of Fukushima souvenirs, I heard that ``Mamadoru'' is the best souvenir. Since it is located at the east exit, we recommend allowing plenty of time when stopping by before boarding the Shinkansen. (It takes about 5 minutes to go from the east exit to the west exit platform where the Shinkansen is located) (Original) 福島土産といえば「ままどおる」ということで伺いました。 東口にあるため新幹線に乗る前に寄るときには時間に余裕を持つことをおすすめします。 （東口から新幹線のある西口側のホームに行くには5分程度時間がかかるため）

(Translated by Google) I love Exon pie. Delicious walnut filling wrapped in soft pie. (Original) エキソンパイ大好き。 柔らかいパイに包まれた、クルミ入り餡旨い

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established gyoza restaurant in Fukushima City. We wanted to eat it for the first time in a while, so the three of us went in! (Reservations accepted from 3pm on the day) Counter with seating for about 5 people There are tatami rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, so there is plenty of room. No draft beer here Cheers with bottled beer for now Gyoza: 20 pieces (1000 yen) Boiled dumplings: 10 pieces (500 yen) Grated Nameko: 2 pieces Bottled beer: 3 bottles? Highball: 3 cups? Lemon sour: 2 cups? It was probably around 5,000 yen for this amount. Gyoza skins are of course handmade and wrapped after receiving your order (Fukushima style). "The fried dumplings are fried and the skin is crispy and fluffy." "Ann is not juicy with lots of meat, but moist with lots of chopped vegetables." This is where tastes completely differ. The price is also cheap, so I recommend you try it when you come to Fukushima City. I definitely want you to order the soup dumplings too. The chewy skin is the best! There is also grated konbu in the soup. It's also delicious when eaten with gyoza sauce. By the way, it is a relative of the "Yamame" gyoza restaurant in Wase Town. (Original) 福島市の老舗餃子屋です 久しぶりに食べたくなり3人で入店！ （当日の15時～予約受付ＯＫです） 5人席程度のカウンター 1階と2階に座敷がありますのでそこそこ入れます ここは生ビールありません ビンビールで乾杯です とりあえず 餃子：20個（1000円） 水餃子：10個（500円） なめこおろし：2個 ビンビール：3本？ ハイボール：3杯？ レモンサワー：2杯？ たぶんこの程度で5000円ちょいでした 餃子の皮はもちろん手作りで注文受けてから包みます（福島スタイル） 「焼餃子は揚げ焼きタイプで皮がカリふわです」 「アンは肉多めのジューシーではなく、みじん切り野菜多めのしっとりタイプ」 このあたりで完全に好みが別れるところです 値段も安いので福島市に来たら食べてほしいですな～ 水餃子も必ず注文してほしいです モチモチ皮が最高！ スープの中にはとろろ昆布も入ってます 餃子タレで食べても美味しいです 因みに早稲町の「山女」餃子屋とは親戚になってます

(Translated by Google) 20 grilled dumplings cost 1,000 yen, 20 boiled dumplings cost 1,000 yen, but for some reason they give you pickles for 200 yen when you sit down. That's the only thing I'm dissatisfied with. The taste and service are solid. Of course, the pickles are also delicious. (Original) 焼き20個1000円水餃子20個1000円ですが席に座ると何故かお新香200円が勝手に出されます。そこだけ不満です。味とサービスは確かです。無論お新香も美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) A famous restaurant for disc dumplings. Reservations will not be accepted unless the same day. I think people will have different tastes about the paste-like filling, which has a uniform texture. (Original) 円盤餃子の有名店。当日でないと予約を受け付けない。具材の食感が均一なペースト状の餡は好みが別れると思う。

(Translated by Google) It's amazing that you can eat such delicious gyoza to your heart's content for just 1,000 yen! This is basically a restaurant that serves Fukushima gyoza. There are boiled gyoza and fried gyoza, and each plate costs 1,000 yen, but since I was alone, I had both served for half 500 yen, thank you. I was a boiled dumpling fan, but everyone has their own preferences, so I think it would be fun to compare them. There were counter seats and table seats, but there were quite a few seats. I went twice at night, and there was never a time when I couldn't get in. When I go around Fukushima station again, I will come here to eat. It's a short walk from the station. The people at the store are very personable and friendly. (Original) こんな美味しい餃子が1000円とかで腹いっぱい食べられるなんてすごい！ 基本的に福島餃子を食べる店です。水餃子と焼き餃子があって、各一皿1000円なのですが、お一人様だったのでハーフ500円で両方出してもらいました、ありがたや。僕は水餃子派でしたけど、人によって好みがあるので食べくらべすると楽しいと思います。 カウンター席とテーブル席がありますが、それなりに席数はありました。2回夜に行きましたが、入れないときはなかったです。 また福島駅周辺に行くときは、食べにきます。駅からは十分歩いてこれます。お店の人はなかなか個性的でフレンドリーです。

(Translated by Google) Disc dumplings! is a specialty, but the boiled dumplings are also delicious! Good value for money at 1000 yen for 20 pieces. You can drink gyoza (Original) 円盤餃子！ が名物ですが、水餃子も絶品！ 20個で1000円とコスパいい。 餃子を飲めます

(Translated by Google) This is a popular restaurant for Fukushima disc dumplings. There are two types of gyoza: fried gyoza and boiled gyoza, and if you order 10 each, you can enjoy both flavors. And it's only 1000 yen (^o^). It will also fill you up. There are other izakaya menu items such as grilled squid, so you can also enjoy alcohol. We also recommend submerging the fried gyoza in the boiled gyoza soup. (Original) 福島円盤餃子の人気店です。餃子は焼餃子と水餃子があり、10個づつ頼めば両方の味を楽しめます。しかもそれでいて1000円です(^o^)。お腹いっぱいにもなりますし。その他いか焼きなど居酒屋メニューもありますのでお酒も楽しめます。焼餃子を水餃子のスープに沈めることもおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Ever since I was little, when I thought of Fukushima gyoza, I thought of “kawadori”! Lately, the closing time seems to have gotten shorter, until 8pm. It seems better to make a reservation. (Original) 小さな頃から、福島の餃子と言うと“川鳥”！ 最近、終了時間が短くなったようで20時までらしい。予約を入れて行くほうがいいようです。

Just another highway stop located at a road junction. Stopped to take a toilet break. The washrooms were clean as expected of Japanese standard. Went into the shop to take a look and they were selling local produce at the shop as well. Other than that, there’s a restaurant selling cooked food inside. A basic rest stop along Japanese highways.

Basic rest stop with toilets,small Japanese goods store and a small eatery that serve standard meals and finger food.Drop by if required but you won't be missing out if you don't.

good

summer holiday

Nice location, good food & clean toilets.

in the restrant, set menus of local tast are good.

Japan Rest Areas are peaceful and worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Assorted appetizers, main (pasta, pizza, risotto), dessert → Assorted as well! And it comes with a drink for 1,680 yen (ﾟﾟﾟ) If you have a certain number of people, you can also reserve a private room. The store is located near the station and has a good location. (Original) 前菜盛合せ、メイン(パスタ・ピザ・リゾット)、デザート→これも盛合せ！そして飲み物がついて1680円(ﾟﾛﾟ) ある程度の人数がいれば個室も予約出来る。 駅ナカのお店で立地も良い。

(Translated by Google) We have great deals for lunch on weekdays. I went on Tuesday. Several side dishes were added to the salad buffet, so the cost performance was good. I was able to get a dessert using a coupon from a certain site. Coffee to take away was also available. Near the end of the season, Vikings started to run out of items, so that was the only disappointment. (Original) 平日のランチは、お得な企画があります。 私は火曜日に行きました。 サラダバイキングに数種のお惣菜が追加されていたので、コスパが良かったです。 あるサイトのクーポンでデザートがいただけました。 持ち帰り用のコーヒーも用意されていました。 終了間際になると、バイキングに欠品が出てくるので、そこだけが残念でした。

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy a quiet and relaxing meal. Lunch includes a salad bar, drink bar, and soup bar, making it a great deal. Dessert was also very delicious. (Original) 静かでゆったりと食事ができます。 ランチには、サラダバー、ドリンクバー、スープバーが付いていてお得です。 デザートもとっても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Entered the store at lunch time. I was surprised that for around 1,000 yen you can get a main dish that comes with a salad bar and a drink bar. The salad bar had a fair amount of items, and the drink bar was standard. I would like to visit the store again when I am nearby. (Original) ランチタイムに入店。1000円前後でサラダバーとドリンクバー付きのメインディッシュが食べられるのには驚き。サラダバーも品数はそこそこでしたし、ドリンクバーもスタンダード。また近くに寄った際は来店したいです

(Translated by Google) An Italian restaurant on the first floor of a building next to Fukushima Station. It's a spacious space with a grown-up feel, and there's plenty of space between the seats, so you don't have to worry about your surroundings. Apparently there are private rooms as well. I used it for lunch, and the main dish comes with a salad bar and a drink bar, and it costs around 1,000 yen. I had a problem with the lack of options on the lunch menu, but the taste was decent. I had a good impression of the store clerk, who had a nice smile and was elegant. It seems like it can be used by a large number of people, so it might be a good place for wedding after-parties. (Original) 福島駅隣接のビルの１階のイタリアン。大人な感じの広々した空間で、席と席の間も広く取ってあり、周囲があまり気にならない。個室もあるそうだ。ランチで利用したが、メイン料理にサラダバーとドリンクバーが付く形式で１０００円前後。ランチメニューの選択肢が少なくて困ったが、味はまずまず。店員さんは笑顔がよく気品もあって好印象を持った。大人数でも利用できるようなので、結婚式の二次会などにもいいかもしれない。

(Translated by Google) The manager, head chef, and part-time workers were all friendly and warm. The food is also delicious. I haven't been there for about two years now, but I definitely want to go there when I'm in Fukushima City. I loved the smoked salmon and spinach pasta. Is it still there? (Original) 店長、料理長、アルバイトの方、みんなフレンドリーで暖かいお店でした。料理も美味しい。もう2年ほど行けてませんが福島市に立ち寄った際にはぜひ行きたい。 スモークサーモンとほうれん草のパスタが大好きでした。まだあるかな？

(Translated by Google) It's stylish and I like that it's near the station. If you drive there and eat here, you will receive a parking ticket. The store manager is also very kind and likable with detailed explanations. I've used them many times, and the customer service is amazing, so I'd like to come back again and again. The food is also really delicious. (Original) お洒落で駅のそばってのがいい。車で行ってここで食事をすると駐車券が貰えます。店長さんも説明が丁寧でとても親切で好感が持てます。何度も利用させて貰ってますが、接客も素晴らしく何度でも行きたいなと思います。料理もめちゃくちゃ美味しいです。

It’s famous in fukushima prov. A lot of people order torisoba with shouyu. Maby it’s a signature of this restaurant? I ordered tsukesoba and I think I do like it more than torisoba with shoyu. It’s different taste. Torisoba shoyu will come with a light flavor and a thin noodle. It’s really easy to eat. For tsukesoba the flavor gonna be like sweet and a bit salty and a little bit savory. Not too strong since it doesn’t put in noodles directly. I do prefer tsukesoba tho! If you are around here, i do recommend this place as well

They have a different menu for lunch and dinner. I wanted to try out the concrete ramen but unfortunately they only serve it during lunch. So I had the tsukemen, which was good. The noodles were more like udon noodles. The ambience was also good.

Good flavor and broth, my first time having karasumi ramen! The thinly sliced chashu and menma were also fun!

Normal size was very big! Ramen was very tasty and rich in flavour.

You can enjoy new style of ramen here. When I last time visited, I chose Italian style ramen which had olive oil in the broth and basil leaves on the top. When the ramen was served in front of me, honestly I was wondering if it would be wonderful but of course, It was so good. They know how to match western ingredients to Japanese ramen. This ramen shop is always crowded and in most cases you have to be in a queue for maybe 20 minutes. I strongly recommend you visiting the shop at 11:00, opening time.

I don't say this lightly: one of the best ramens I've eaten in Japan. Worth the lone at the door.

Tasty noodles for a overcast day! Friendly and speedy service. Definitely worth a visit

A well known local Chinese restaurant that is mainly regarded for its gyoza dumplings. The food is unquestionably delicious, and it’s not rare to see a long line forming up in the late evening. The atmosphere of the restaurant is retrospective with the counter tables around the kitchen. The owner couple manages the restaurant with teamwork; the friendly and outspoken lady helps the customers directly while the chef works on the dishes almost stoically.

We had the ramen. The broth was rich, and the pork was falling apart tender. The noodles absorbed the taste of the broth very well.

The shoyu ramen is the best. The food is delicious. The store just needs a little spring cleaning and the owner needs to Smile a little more than he did hence the deduction of one star.

We came in around the end of the night and got to experience the two chefs timing out our meals impeccably. We ordered two orders of gyoza and a chashu ramen and both were ready at the exact same time. The couple have clearly been working in tandem for decades now and the resulting meal was incredible. The pan fried gyoza were crisp on their side yet melted in my mouth, and the chashu ramen burst with flavor. The venue itself is a very humble bar and was a very relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great place to eat authentic Japanese’s handmade food. Few dishes but absolutely amazing and super tasty, you can see making in front of you gyoza from scratch.

Good ramen with friendly service. Close to the JR Station

For more than a decade, this has been my go-to place for gyoza dumplings. My usual order is a plate of gyoza, a side of garnished wakame seaweed, and a glass of sake. Most patrons seem to prefer beer with their gyoza, and Kirin is served here, draft or by the bottle. But all the sake is from Fukushima (various breweries), and even the lowest price Eisen tokujōshu (my usual choice) is delicious. I'm not much of a ramen noodle eater, but the chashū pork that accompanies some noodle dishes is outstanding, and I've enjoyed it as a side dish.

One of the beautiful airports I’ve visited—very pretty and quiet.

Excellent and speedy services in Japanese style. All the staffs are polite, properly dressed and in considerable attitude which you could completely feel while you saw their handling of the baggage. The airport is not as big as those busy airport but have all required amenities and shop.

Sendai Airport A compact airport where you hardly need to walk after passing through the security gate, as the departure gates are close by. The airport is directly connected to the train system, allowing you to reach Sendai Station in about 20 minutes. Trains run approximately every 30 minutes, so you can expect to get to Sendai Station within an hour. There is also an ANA-affiliated lounge available. December 2024.

A medium-sized international airport that forms the core of the Tohoku region. It is conveniently located, including access by train from the center of Sendai. Inside the airport, the Aero Subaru FA-200 single-engine aircraft, which was once produced by Subaru, is on display.

A nice and small airport. It is relatively to access from the Sendai Station to the airport by train (taking about 20~30 minutes of train). It is quite clean and bright. The stores here are quite nice and offers a variety of goods. The restaurants are also quite good with reasonable price. International and domestic flights are available.

Small but nice airport. There are gifts and snacks for sale inside and outside the security checks. It’s never been crowded the times I’ve been here. Today I got to see fun lights on the free rooftop observation deck. Check it out if you have a moment before going through the security checks. I’ve flown to and from this airport with Peach, Skymark, and ANA.

Small city airport. Train station at airport makes it very convenient to get into Sendai city

It is 1 hour by shuttle bus from Fukushima Airport to Koriyama Station

Very clean and peace

Small Aitport, now only domestici flights, very clean, as usual in Japan.

Cute little domestic airport. Very clean.

Terrible

(Translated by Google) Flights departing and arriving at Fukushima Airport exceeded 80%. Tigerair Taiwan direct flight 🐅 I was surprised at how crowded it was. A direct flight with four nights included starting at ¥45,000 is cheap, and although it cost ¥10,000 for a three-hour round-trip highway toll plus gas, I was intrigued and gave it a try. Perhaps it's the tropical island culture of Taiwanese people, few people get up when the boarding announcement is made, and both takeoffs and landings are delayed by 30 minutes. Departure was smooth despite the line, but upon returning, immigration was handled by several staff members on the Taiwanese side, while only one person handled the Japanese side. There were less than 10 Japanese people in line, but it was slow and we couldn't get in. They said it was intensive immigration month, but customs was quite a hassle. The opening and closing times are convenient, so I think it's a good idea to split the highway and gas costs and go with multiple friends without worrying about time. Plus, the round-trip ticket was only 33,000 yen, so it could easily be used for traveling around Asia with a Taiwan transit. The airport staff and Fukushima residents are kind and helpful. As an Ultraman fan, I was really happy to see Ultra Airport. (I wish they'd bring in a designer and put more effort into it!♡) Apparently, the name comes from the fact that director Eiji Tsuburaya was from Sukagawa City, and the city established a sister city relationship with the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula. The convenience store has a wide selection of local Fukushima sake. Perhaps it's because of the Fukushima people's character, but there are a lot of delicious drinks. (Original) 搭乗率80%を超える福島空港発着便。 台湾直行便タイガーエア🐅 混雑していて、びっくりしました。 4泊付けて直行便45,000円〜は安いし 3時間高速代往復10,000円+ガソリン代は かかるものの興味が湧いて利用してみました。 台湾人の南国島のお国柄なのか、 搭乗アナウンスで席を立つ人が少なく 離発着共に30分遅れます。 出国は並んだもののスムーズでしたが、 帰国時は、入国審査の台湾人側に 複数職人が割かれ、日本国籍側の審査は1人。 日本人入国は10人も並んでいないんだけど なかなか進まず入れません。 強化月間と言ってましたが税関もかなり面倒。 就航離発着の時間帯は使い易いので 高速ガソリン代を割勘にして 時間を気にせず複数友人と行くのはあり だと思いますね。 それと往復だけなら33,000円だったので 台湾トランジットでアジア圏周遊にも使えそう。 空港スタッフ、福島県人は優しく親切です。 わたしはウルトラマン世代なので ウルトラ空港がとても嬉しかったです。 (デザイナー入れてもっと徹底してやり込んで 欲しいぐらい♡) 円谷英二監督が須賀川市出身で M78星雲光の国と友好都市を結んだことに 由来するそうです。 売店は、福島県産地酒が充実しています。 福島のお人柄か、美味しいお酒が多いです。

(Translated by Google) The airport is small, but it has everything you need. Car rental is convenient. Souvenirs are also available. The duty-free area is connected to the boarding gate, so you can buy cigarettes and alcohol. The first floor has many Superman displays for photos, and there are also some souvenirs for sale. The second floor has a wide selection of famous Fukushima souvenirs. It's a good idea to buy them before your departure, rather than in the city, as some items are only available for a short time. The third floor is the apron viewing platform, but since there are only five domestic flights a day, there are no planes to see! (Original) 機場需小但要有的都有～ 租車方便。還有伴手禮可以買 免稅品和登機門是連在一起的，可以買煙酒。 1樓有很多超人的擺設可以拍照，有一些土產可以買。 2樓有一些有名福島好吃伴手禮可以買，種類也蠻多的，可以出發前在這裡買就好，不用在市區買，因為有些限期真的很短。 3樓是觀機坪台，但因為一天只有5班內陸機，班次很少，上去是沒有飛機看的！

The Soba noodle shop closes at 2pm even though there are flights mid day. Why? If you need noodles better get them before 2pm.

Small but Practical Airport, I arrived from Hokkaido and conveniently stayed one block away from Sakurambo-higashine Station. The down side to this airport is the lack of connection to the nearest train station which is Jimmachi Station, so taxi is required to leave the airport (unless you reserve bus shuttle), taxi ride is short thou, so no mayor cost impact to your wallet :) Airport services were decent.

They have airport shuttle. Need to book in advance.

Very easy and smooth procedure. Employees were helpful and informative. A small but decent airport.

So freaking cool so many tech shops in the airport very Impressed with the workers and people

It’s a small local airport with shuttle bus to the city and surrounding. Reservation might be required for shuttle bus services.

Can't wait to arrive at Yamagata Airport to visit this beautiful prefecture once again
