1Crane KE castle
A contrast of a white wall in a donjon and fascinating colored leaves is beautiful.
The famous place where a name is listed among the head in the spot of colored leaves in Aizuwakamatsu-shi. Oppositely, the showy appearance of the red roof tile is impregnable Meijo which has also finished standing up to a violent attack in 1 month of governmental forces in the Boshin War. The white wall which shines by the blue sky is striking, but autumn is colored by the trees of the maple which colored, a cherry tree and a gingko, and you show me a graceful expression.
In the back of the tea-ceremony house in the inner citadel "rinkaku", one in the castle, though there is a big maple and colored leaves are enjoyed, tea, break. Such artistic enjoyment of colored leaves can also be done. How about being satisfied with an autumn scene Meijo where I marked the eternal history?

To the extent there is a hall of worship of the architecture representative of Heian period 44 pillars equal "Nagatoko" near the sacred tree, and I hold my breath in the harmony of the solemn building and the big gingko. It's also special around the middle of November a fallen leaf of a gingko begins to dance.

3Bandai-san (It's BA N, Isa, oh.), gold line
A scenic route of the full length 17.6km satisfied with colored leaves
If I go by car, the scenic route where I go through Saimen in Bandai-san in north and south and connect from Hinohara lake (HI BARAKO) Bandai-machi "Bandai-san gold line" is recommended. The road where grand nature in Aizu can be enjoyed fully is the full length 17.6km. Even while a superb view point is many every direction stand with which I bustle as a waterfall of illusion and a starting point for a climb of Bandai-san and Nekoma KE mountain at Nozomi lake stand which wishes for Hinohara lake, it's "mountain lake stand" and "gold (I don't row.), flat" to want to visit by all means. That the Inawashiro lake deep blue in the brocade of colored leaves from a mountain lake stand is gapingly, contrast of a crater wall and colored leaves in Bandai-san where a violent rock surface is shown can enjoy the scenery which floats at a gold flat.
A gradation of colored leaves will call Fumoto from peak in Bandai-san at time at the beginning of October, and is seen, and a heart is investigated by the scene of the beautiful autumn.

4Bandai-san Enichi-ji (it's BA N, Isa, oh, Enichi-ji) Shiryokan Museum (historic site Enichi-ji mark)
The deep red Japanese maple which colors a garden is impression enough.
Preservation of cultural assets related with a place by the Aizu Buddhist origination "Enichi-ji" and exhibited Shiryokan Museum with history in 1200. A Buddhist temple and stupa Japanese yew (the temple how do investigated) stood close together and was the grave Buddhist city where a lot of temple monks and armed monks lived in the golden age. Restored vermilion-lacquered "Golden Hall " etc. in addition to the gate, the mausoleum and the hall where history is in about 17,000 square meters of site is also here and there now. Even while the simple landscape which seems to be Sato temple spreads, the autumnal tints around the Shiryokan Museum are striking in particular. A deep red Japanese maple is planted aside of the pond and the channel where a stream flows, and it's impressed by the beautiful scene.
There is an old private house cafe near the Shiryokan Museum, and I can also receive good coffee after walk.
There is also road station around about 20 minutes on foot from Bandaimachi Station, so while going sightseeing how about visiting?

5Nakatsu-gawa ravine
Be absorbed, Art great outdoors bore. The autumnal tints like the carpet of brocade are excellent.
Tohoku is the spot of colored leaves I'd like to visit at Ura-bandai in autumn when it takes pride in its outstanding canyon's beauty (When, oh, it's held.) They're rapids, the cliff cliff where I also come to height 100m and a place by the land of mystery where a thick wildwood ranges at a large ravine of the length 10km in the source in Nakatsugawa where 1 of three lake Hinohara lake (HI BARAKO) and Ura-bandai as well as Onogawako flow into Akimotoko.
The condition by which a beech, a maple and a larch will feel color and a carpet of brocade is wide at time at the middle of ordinary year October, the scale sense, much. If Tsutomu Osako's colored leaves are enjoyed slowly, the "Akimoto* Nakatsu-gawa ravine sight-seeing way" where you can come down to aside of the "Nakatsugawa rest house" with a parking to a ravine is recommended. Even one way for about 15 minutes and on the bridge can also enjoy colored leaves by various viewpoints at a dry riverbed. Green of a coniferous tree, red of a broadleaf tree and yellow will be satisfied while taking a walk through an interwoven superb view freely.

A precinct is dyed in red carpet Isshiki.
The shrine where they're the first seigneur who built a foundation in Aizu and the Hoshina Masayuki (stellar rawness, Yuki) official relation that you can meet the view over which a carpet of a deep red maple spreads. While taking a drive with about 10 minutes by car from Inawashiro Bandai-kogen IC, it's easy to drop in, and when autumn comes, it's the spot many people visit with the colored leaves in mind.
Beauty which is to the extent the maple and the gingko in the shrine entrance are dyed from the end of blooming October of colored leaves to the beginning of November, and I gaze at symbolic white Otorii and contrast of a deep red maple in particular. When a maple begins to scatter, a precinct is buried by the fallen leaf dyed red, and its view is a word of highlights.

It's meibaku where Mt. Adatara (Enemy cod and, oh.) is in the immovable river where Funagira Koyama of 1,667m located in a chain of mountains (MYOU JIN which is bran and, oh.) was made a source that the colored leaves with the vivid color as well as fall with the impression can be enjoyed. "Nakanosawa hot spring" when he's entering a mountain in the interior in hot spring district at the deep place for about 15 minutes by empty car, Taki who shone out as a school of Shugendo formerly is seeing.
The rock surface where a beech and a maple are black in the wildwood where I burn, the form that "Metaki" who shows a quiet flow near marches with the "male waterfall" where water is a hero of the gap 10m which drops like a bamboo screen and width 16m is beauty artistic surely. Fudo is deified by Takimoto, so it's worship by all means. The scenery by which the minus ion I'd like to see forever is much seems to heal a heart and build.
