It is a mountainous region sandwiched between the Echigo Mountains to the west and the Ou Mountains to the east, and is famous for its delicious mountain products and agricultural products grown in a harsh natural environment with deep snow. As rice cultivation is flourishing here, the area is also famous for its sake brewing, which uses the pure water that gushes from the mountains.
In terms of culture, the city is full of historical sightseeing spots, such as Aizuwakamatsu City, famous for Tsuruga Castle, and Kitakata City, a ramen town, which attract many tourists from inside and outside the prefecture. Traditional crafts such as Akabeko, a local toy, and Aizu lacquerware with delicate maki-e decoration are also popular.
One of the attractions is that there are many ways to enjoy the area, such as staying in hot springs such as Aizu Higashiyama Onsen, and activities that take advantage of the beautiful natural environment such as lakes and valleys.
