National Treasure: 1-Day Buddhist Capital Aizu Sightseeing Tour
Aizu was one of the first regions in Tohoku where Buddhist culture flourished based on the worship of Mount Bandai. It is called “Capital of Buddhist, Aizu”, because there exists numerous Buddhist statues and temples constructed between the early Heian Period, Middle and modern ages.

The Aizu 33 Goodness of Mercy Kannon include a variety of settings from stone statues in rustic mountains to temples that stores national treasures. Traveling on a pilgrimage route and visiting the 33 goddess of Mercy Kannon was testimony of faith for people in Aizu, and was considered as leisure .

During the 1-Day sightseeing tour, you can experience the broad-minded faith and hospitality of the Aizu people, just as pilgrims did in old days, by visiting the Goodness of Mercy and hidden peaceful temples. Come and enjoy the rewarding experience of this region by bus conveniently!
