I ordered the shoyu ramen. The broth had a layer of oil on top and lots of sesame seeds sprinkled over it. The two pieces of fatty chashu were flavorful and delicious, and the taste wasn't too salty. I was really satisfied.

Iimoriyama
At the eastern edge of the Aizu Basin, Iimoriyama is a leading tourist destination in Aizuwakamatsu City, attracting around two million visitors a year. The 314-meter-high hill can be ascended not only by foot but also via a paid escalator for easy access.
Iimoriyama offers several hiking routes for visitors, with different levels of difficulty and length. Of course, you can also just take the escalator. Most trails pass through beautiful forests and mountain paths, making for a pleasant hiking experience.

Oshinkoshin Waterfall
Oshinkoshin Falls, also known as "Soubi Falls" because the stream splits into two halfway down, has been selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan.
Oshinkoshin Waterfall is about 30 meters tall, and the water drops straight down from above—it's really impressive. When you climb up to the Oshinkoshin observation deck, you get an amazing view of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Shiretoko mountains. I couldn't help but be in awe of how nature created such a beautiful place. It's definitely worth a visit for these stunning views.

Cape Notoro
Cape Notoro, with its towering cliffs of 40-50 meters high, juts out into the Sea of Okhotsk. The name "Notoro" is derived from the Ainu language, meaning "place of the cape."
Cape Notoro is pretty flat and surrounded by huge lagoons and bays, making it a spectacular spot to check out the ocean. The views are super open, and there’s also a ton of wildlife here—you can spot lots of different birds. Great place for nature lovers!
