Higashiyama Onsen is considered one of the best hot spring villages in the Aizu area and is loved by writers such as Takehisa Yumeji and Yosano Akiko. According to legend, the village was founded more than 1,300 years ago by the Buddhist monk Gyoki (668-749), and became a health resort particularly favored by local samurai. Today, inns, hotels, restaurants and gift shops have opened in the scenic valley along the Yukawa River, allowing visitors to experience rural life while still having easy access to the center of Aizuwakamatsu. Higashiyama Onsen is a 10-minute drive or 20-minute bus ride from Aizuwakamatsu Station. #2024TravelReview
