Because of a major flood during the Meiji era, the shrine was moved to its current higher location. The mountain views here are especially nice.

Adachigahara Furusato Village
Located in Adachigahara, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, this facility features a vast natural garden dotted with a local history museum, traditional houses open for viewing, an indoor kids’ park, a bouncy dome, and more. Visitors can spend the day in many ways-learning about Nihonmatsu’s history and local culture or enjoying the playground equipment. In spring, a Cherry Blossom Festival is held, and in early fall, the Manjushage (red spider lily) Festival takes place. Seasonal flowers illuminated at night can be enjoyed with the village’s symbol, a five-story pagoda, as the backdrop.
It really feels like rural Japan. The air is super fresh, there aren’t many people, and it’s really comfortable to walk around.
The grounds aren’t huge, but the vibe with the old folk houses and thatched-roof homes is totally on point. Great for photos 📸 -
First Avenue Tokyo Station
"First Avenue Tokyo Station (Tokyo Station Ichibangai) " is directly connected to "Tokyo Station", the gateway to Japan.A wide variety of stores are gathered here, including ramen, local gourmet foods from all over Japan, Japanese and Western confectioneries from famous and long-established stores, and popular character goods.
My daughter specifically asked me to buy this and bring it back home! 😆

Tofukuji Temple
This is the head temple of Rinzai School. Kujo Michiie wished to have a temple for his family burial under Reverend Shoichi Kokusi’s ministry, and built seven halls during 19 years beginning in 1236.
It felt like a money grab. Each person spent about 4,000 to 5,000 yen, and they closed at 4 p.m., so we missed out on seeing a lot of things.
