As the elevation rises, it feels even colder, and in windy spots, it felt like around 8\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01377-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26636\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The author tackled the hike wearing a windbreaker jacket, long-sleeved base layer, short-sleeved T-shirt, spats, and shorts. While walking, the body warms up, but stopping causes a sudden chill. Especially near the summit, the wind is cold, sothin gloves or hand warmers<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>make for a more comfortable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_6660-1-1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26642\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guide kindly explains various things along the way, such as seasonal scenery, plants, and the geography. For example, when a female guide accompanied us, she pointed out a small flower called<strong>&nbsp;\u201cMonroe\u2019s Lips\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>during the hike. It\u2019s a rare wildflower named for resembling Marilyn Monroe\u2019s lips\u2014a small discovery you\u2019d miss without a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01384-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26637\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After walking about 30 minutes from the starting point, a faint sulfur smell begins to drift through the air. As the valley opens up and you reach your destination, a vast expanse of nature unfolds, several times larger than imagined. Hot springs flow like a river across the valley floor, and the nearby hot spring outlet reaches nearly 60 degrees Celsius. The relentless flow of hot water seems as if the earth itself is bubbling up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01407-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26638\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In autumn, the outside temperature drops significantly, causing the water temperature at the source to become slightly cooler. You might think hot springs feel better in colder seasons, but once you actually soak in one, that notion is quickly overturned. While soaking feels pleasant, the moment you stand up, the mountain\u2019s cold air mercilessly chills your body, rapidly draining your body heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC06477-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26639\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, when I visited in summer, it was completely different. Walking along the path, enveloped by the lush green mountains, the temperature was warm enough to make you sweat. However, the moment I arrived at the original hot spring and submerged myself in the water, it felt wonderfully soothing, as if it were melting away the heat from my body. The breeze after bathing was refreshing too, and the mountain environment provided a natural cool-down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC06417-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26644\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guide\u2019s words, \u201cJuly to September is the best season for bathing,<strong>\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;finally made sense to me after experiencing both summer and autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you sink into the hot spring waters and gaze upon the majestic valley scenery, you\u2019ll feel enveloped by a sensation of melting into the natural surroundings. It\u2019s a special place where the same original hot spring offers completely different experiences depending on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you\u2019re lucky, you might even be guided to&nbsp;<strong>the cave<\/strong>&nbsp;beneath the cliff along the main route. Along the path through the valley where hot springs flow, there\u2019s a steep slope like a cliff face, and beneath it, the cave entrance suddenly appears. Looking down feels a bit scary, but once you start descending, it\u2019s surprisingly easy. Light streams into the dim cave, and the sight of hot springs flowing beneath it feels like another world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note:&nbsp; Access may be restricted during dangerous seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/area\/aizu\/spot\/extreme-onsen\/\">Learn more about Extreme Onsen<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC06313-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26645\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way back, I enjoyed the view of the magnificent mountain range, returning to<em>Nowhere&nbsp;<\/em>with a pleasant sense of fatigue.There, I could savor <em><strong>Nowhere Curry<\/strong><\/em>, which soaked into my tired body. The combination of tender beef and brown rice was exquisite, with the savory flavor of the spices gently spreading.

It is a special place, based on a villa once cherished by&nbsp;<strong>female mountaineer and Everest summiteer Junko Tabei<\/strong>, and inherited and renovated by a long-established inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC05727-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26647\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lounge, enveloped in the warmth of wood, offers complimentary coffee, wine, and local sweets, allowing guests to relax while gazing out over the highlands. Guest rooms feature a tranquil space blending modern design with natural materials. Outside the large windows, autumn leaves sway, creating a feeling of being embraced by the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dinner-a-seasonal-tohoku-style-japanese-course\">Dinner \u2014 A Seasonal Tohoku-Style Japanese Course<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dinner at Numajiri Kogen Lodge is a Japanese course menu that changes with the seasons, emphasizing seasonal ingredients. Ingredients are primarily sourced from Fukushima, Aizu, and the wider Tohoku region, characterized by a distinctive<strong>&nbsp;\u201crustic simplicity\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;and<strong>&nbsp;\u201cdepth\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>that reflects the land. From this season\u2019s menu, we\u2019d like to highlight four particularly memorable dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hishi-tea-medicinal-soup\"><strong>Hishi Tea Medicinal Soup<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01274-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26648\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first warm bowl served. This medicinal soup features roasted water chestnut tea made from Inawashiro Lake\u2019s \u201cwater chestnuts,\u201d along with abundant local ingredients like maitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and Aizu carrots. Its aroma is gentle, and a mild umami flavor spreads softly upon tasting. This dish warms the stomach and prepares the body for the \u201ctime of eating,\u201d making it a fitting start to the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tuna-sashimi\"><strong>Tuna Sashimi<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01281-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26650\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seafood from Tohoku is characterized by its rich umami flavor. The tuna is served freshly sliced, without excessive seasoning, allowing the natural sweetness and clean aroma of the ingredient to shine through. Light soy sauce is provided on the side, carefully selected to further enhance the ocean\u2019s savory essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shirako-dishes\"><strong>Shirako Dishes<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01285-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26651\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shirako often surprises visitors from abroad. Shirako refers to the male reproductive glands of fish\u2014specifically, the testes\u2014and is treated as a premium ingredient in Japanese cuisine. But the shirako served here is exceptional. It has absolutely no unpleasant odor, offering a rich, creamy texture that melts in your mouth. Its mild flavor makes it approachable even for first-time eaters, so we encourage you to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"braised-and-grilled-beef-stew\"><strong>Braised and Grilled Beef Stew<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01295-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26652\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Western dish appearing as a solitary highlight within a Japanese kaiseki course. Fukushima beef is slowly braised then grilled, resulting in a crispy exterior and astonishingly tender interior. Combined with the sweetness of local vegetables, it creates a deeply satisfying flavor that warms the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each dish impresses with its thoughtful approach\u2014not seeking novelty, but understanding and highlighting the ingredients. The sequence of dishes, possible only because of that day, that season, and that land, creates a time to feel the richness of the region through food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hot-spring-a-bath-connected-directly-to-numajiri-motoyu-soaking-in-the-highland-breeze\">Hot Spring \u2014 A Bath Connected Directly to Numajiri Motoyu, Soaking in the Highland Breeze<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC06224-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26653\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hot springs within the facility are sourced directly from Numajiri Motoyu, flowing freely from the source. The strongly acidic sulfur spring tightens the skin, leaving it surprisingly smooth after bathing. At night, the open-air bath offers a view of the starry sky, with only the sounds of insects and the wind echoing. Here, you can experience \u201ca time to connect with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"evening-time-by-the-fire-and-under-the-stars\">Evening \u2014 Time by the Fire and Under the Stars<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01309-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26654\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the lodge\u2019s garden, you can build a bonfire at night. On the high plateau without streetlights, only the flames illuminate the night, and when you look up, you see a sky full of stars. The sound of the flames, the cold air, the silence of the distant mountains. It\u2019s a richly rewarding way to conclude the second day of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second day in Numajiri is one where&nbsp;<strong>\u201cstillness\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>and<strong>&nbsp;\u201cadventure\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>connect as a single journey. While it has a completely different character from the first day in Aizu, it becomes a day that adds depth to the story of the entire trip. You will likely realize anew that spending time in nature allows you to center your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rtoc-9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_3_To_the_Skies_of_Numajiri%E2%94%80%E2%94%80The_%E2%80%9CExtreme_Flight%E2%80%9D_that_concludes_the_journey\"><\/span>Day 3: To the Skies of Numajiri\u2500\u2500The \u201cExtreme Flight\u201d that concludes the journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a quiet morning at Numajiri Kogen Lodge, we head to a special activity to conclude our 2-night, 3-day Aizu model course: the<strong>&nbsp;\u201cExtreme Flight (Helicopter Cruising)\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grassy field right next to Numajiri Kogen Lodge, in front of the activity base \u201cNowhere,\u201d served as the takeoff and landing spot for the day. The flight lasted about 10 minutes. It offered the luxurious experience of taking in breathtaking views representing Aizu from the sky, including Lake Inawashiro, Mount Bandai, and Goshikinuma (Witch\u2019s Eye).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01541-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26657\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting on the grassland in front of the lodge, the sound of a helicopter approaches from afar. Seeing a helicopter up close is more impressive than I ever imagined. The wind whipped up by the rotor blades, the vibrations felt right beside me. The sheer size of the aircraft, something you rarely see, takes your breath away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01619-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26658\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting on the headset, I boarded. Slowly rising, the aircraft glided smoothly at an angle, and suddenly the view opened up, the vast land of Numajiri spreading out below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately after takeoff, the first thing that catches your eye is the overwhelming gradation of the autumn highlands. The area around the lodge is enveloped in orange autumn leaves, but just a little further on, forests still holding onto their green appear. Proceeding further, the landscape shifts again to reveal mountain ranges with yet another distinct character.<strong>\u201cThe scenery changes in just a few seconds.\u201d<\/strong>This dynamism can only be experienced from the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01568-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26659\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As altitude increases, Lake Inawashiro slowly emerges from the depths of the view. Mountains, lakes, and the towns where people live at their base. The sheer scale of Fukushima, impossible to grasp from the ground, washes over you all at once, its overwhelming power leaving you speechless.<br>The pilot provides commentary on the scenery as you fly.&nbsp;English is also available, so foreign visitors can participate with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01560-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26660\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route varies slightly by season, but during the flight you can see the following spots from above. (April\u2013November)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lake Inawashiro<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mount Bandai<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Mountains of Urabandai<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Goshikinuma (Witch\u2019s Eyes)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Ridge of Mount Adatara<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In autumn, the mountains are dyed in a gradient of red, orange, and yellow. Spring offers a beautiful contrast between lingering snow and fresh greenery.Summer showcases vibrant greenery bursting with dynamic vitality. With advance arrangements, you can fly directly back to Tokyo\u2019s Shin-Kiba in about two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hinotori-trip.com\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC01598-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26661\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nature, culture, cuisine, and encounters with people.
