THE Samurai Town to See in Japan!

If you want to learn about the Samurai of Japanese history, then Aizuwakamatsu is the place for you. In this video we tour Aizu as it is known, visiting Tsuruga Castle, the Sazaedo Temple and Aidu Bukeyashiki or “Samurai Residence”. You’ll be immersed in all the lore and history of the Samurai. We also spend a day at nearby Lake Inawashiro where we tour the Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum along with the World Glassware Hall before stopping off at a surprising little café by the lake. While in Aizu we stay as guests in a private Japanese home so that you can see what it's really like to be a resident of Japan.

Josephine was born and raised in Japan. Her father, grandfather and great grandfather and grandmother were all born and lived their lives in Japan; all of them being Americans. We maintain a family home outside Nagano, and all we do is travel the country looking for the most amazing, little known towns and attractions to help visitors get the most out of their trips to Japan. Tokyo is over crowded. Osaka is overcrowded, Kyoto is overcrowded. So follow us as we share our unique perspective on all things Japanese and helping you discover the lesser known parts! Check us out at www.unchartedjapan.net for articles on Aizu and more! Since Youtube pays peanuts, if you enjoy our videos, please help us continue making more videos by "buying us a cup of coffee".
