Immerse yourself in the richly preserved Edo Period ambiance
Located in Fukushima Prefecture in the Tohoku region, Ouchi-juku is a lesser-known but highly appreciated tourist destination, where the ambiance of the Edo period is vividly preserved. Visitors here can immerse themselves in a journey back in time to the era of samurais.
Japan offers several options for those looking to visit traditional villages that preserve the olden times. Among the most famous are Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture and Gokayama in Toyama Prefecture, both located in central Honshu. However, if your starting point is in Eastern Japan, especially Tokyo, Ouchi-juku presents itself as an excellent alternative. Despite its somewhat remote location, traveling with a licensed English-speaking guide ensures a smooth and worry-free visit. Please note that the guide will be on foot, so any use of buses or taxis should be discussed with the guide in advance. Additionally, Ouchi-juku is blanketed in snow from December to early March, providing a splendid opportunity to experience a picturesque snowy landscape.
