This is the first step , going into Kitakata / Aizuwakamazu Area , Fukushima Pref.

Highlight in this movie would be Shingu Kumano Shrine and Okawaso Ryokan,

I visited the shrine in autumn and Okawaso in winter.

Maybe this season contrast can tell you how beautifully distinct the season for each.
