A town where you can encounter the past:
 

Welcome to the Aizu Higashiyama Onsen Village.

Only 10 minutes by car from the heart of Aizuwakamatsu City (population of over 120,000), Higashiyama’s luxurious, natural hot springs are unparalleled. It is said that the onsen village was loved by many artisits and poets, such as Takehisa Yumeji and Yosano Akiko. Higashiyama’s onsen are ryusan-ensen or sodium-sulphate hot springs. Slowly unwind your mind and body as you relax in the warm waters.
