The local experience
An old post-town on the road between Aizu and Nikko, with dozens of thatched-roof houses lined along a wide dirt street, water channels and a lookout at the end, in the mountains of Shimogo.
Rock cliffs on the bank of the Okawa River, carved by water and wind into tower-like shapes, with cut-through passages and a suspension bridge, next to the station of the same name.
