About This Destination
A historic castle town known for its samurai heritage, Tsuruga Castle, traditional Aizu lacquerware, and the tragic story of the Byakkotai. The Nanukamachi street retains beautiful Edo-period architecture.
Samurai spirit endures in this historic castle town where the tragic teenage Byakkotai warriors made their last stand during the Boshin War, their graves still receiving incense and prayers today. The striking red-tiled Tsuruga Castle, rebuilt in 2011 with historically accurate tile color, dominates the skyline surrounded by cherry trees and traditional gardens. Visitors can explore restored samurai residences, learn Aizu lacquerware crafts, and savor local sake from breweries that have operated since the Edo period.
