〔Aizu-Wakamatsu & Ouchi-juku: 2 Days / 1 Night Private Tour〕

●(Model Course) Chartered Car / Dedicated Driver / Flexible Start & End Points
This is a model itinerary. Your start/end location (station or hotel), stops, and time allocation can be adjusted to your preferences.
Transportation is assumed to be a time-based charter (sightseeing hire car).
 
●(Tour Content)
Your journey travels from Aizu-Wakamatsu to Iimoriyama and onward to Ouchi-juku.
In the castle town, you’ll visit sites connected to the Byakkotai and the uniquely designed Sazae-do (Entsu Sansodo), tracing Aizu’s history from a lived, local perspective.
Then, you’ll head to the mountain post town of Ouchi-juku. After daytime crowds fade, time around the irori hearth in a thatched-roof inn feels less like “sightseeing” and more like “coming home.”

 

〔Trip Theme (Highlights)〕

●Easier travel = a deeper trip: Door-to-door by private car. Less stress about driving in winter conditions or handling luggage—your vehicle becomes a private space throughout the journey.
●Experience the castle town’s craftsmanship: Hands-on Aizu lacquerware experience (e.g., polishing chopsticks) at Human Hub Tenneiji Soko to feel the technique and aesthetics firsthand.
●Stay in a thatched-roof post town: By spending both evening and morning in Ouchi-juku, the scenery shifts from “tourist spot” to a “place where life happens.”
