Yes, in Fukushima! And why not? I wanted to let the world know that it's safe to visit Fukushima as long as you stay away at the exclusion zone around the nuclear plant. Fukushima is rich with beautiful sceneries like mountains, lakes and nevertheless, Fukushima needs all the help that they can get most especially tourism industry. I can't believe that there was less tourists travelling to Fukushima during the peak season of the Golden Week ( longest holiday here in Japan) unlike the past years and it makes me sad. During our trip there, we didn't encountered bus full of tourists.
The Bandaisan Gold Line, Bandai Azuma Skyline and Bandai Azuma Lakeline toll roads are a good way to enjoy the scenery and a popular sightseeing spots here in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Actually, we've been a couple of times there already most especially on autumn but it's a first to visit there during spring time. Enjoyed both winter and spring on the very same day! We planned to climb the Mount Azuma- Kofuji and walk around Goshikinuma Lake but because of a sudden change of weather, we didn't had a chance to do so. However, we enjoyed the trip of awesome mountain ranges and great scenery.

The climax of our trip was the Snow Corridor reaching four meters in height during the start season but it was 3 meters in height the time we went there
I can't believe I have photos of the famous Snow Corridor during the peak season of the Golden Week!

Snow that thick? Oh my, it seemed very cold. Thanks po for dropping by my site.
Sugoi na! lalo na yun snow corridor! I worked with the media that's why I know how unfair it could get if things are sensationalized...Nihon hontou ni otozuretai desu! For now titingin muna ako sa pics mo ;)
Brrrrrr. so thick ng snow Clang.. The picture with boats reminds me of the place we used to hang out in Korea! In fe4w more years tourism will again get back to normal, for now kasi medyo fresh pa yung tsunami kaya medyo lielow siguro ang tourism.
beautiful sceneries and photos. beautiful family as well...ang saya-saya nyo. God bless you all always!
Yes, the place looks so awesome. There are much snow in the mountains. Not only are your kids so Japanese looking, you yourself looks like a Japanese. Madali kang makapag blend among Japanese. Great that you are already proficient in Nippongo. Thanks for the beautiful post. God bless you all always.
