Join us as we continue our trip on the Aizu Railway Aizu Line. After visiting the Kannon-numa Forest Park for its autumn leaves, we travel by car for 20 minutes to our lodging for the night. Gohoso, located in Shinkashi Onsen, Fukushima Prefecture was founded in 1956. The scenic inn has a free-flowing spring and our room offers a splendid view of the autumn leaves. Dinner at the lodging comprises autumn dishes using local Fukushima seasonal ingredients.
We first ride on the Aizu Mount Express train To-no-Hetsuri Station. We then take a scenic five-minute walk surrounded by autumn leaves to To-no-Hetsuri. The tower-like formation of rocks has been designated as a national natural monument. This mysterious landscape has been formed by a million years of erosion and weathering. We then climb some stairs and reach a temple. It honours Tamuramaro Sakanoue, who made the Kiyomizudera Temple.
The Ozatoro viewing train arrives at Ashinomaki-Onsen Station. It is popular among railroad fans as a station with a cat stationmaster called Love-chan. However, she passed away after serving as stationmaster for seven years. Now the station has Sakura-chan, an attendant. Another highlight at this station is the AT-301, a first-generation self-propelled Torokko train which is exhibited at the station grounds. There is also a driving simulator which was installed about three years ago.
