About this place

Its history as a post town and traffic focal point continues today, with strong Shinkansen, highway, and bus connections making it a practical gateway to the Tohoku region. The city serves as both a business center and a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions, including Nihonmatsu and the Mount Bandai area.

Planning Tips
- Shinkansen is the best option from Tokyo — the Tohoku Shinkansen covers the trip in about 80 minutes, compared to slower and less frequent local trains on the Tohoku Main Line.
- Check for English materials — the local tourist association's website is Japanese-only, but its pamphlet section offers some downloadable English guides.
- Consider Fukushima Airport for regional flights — located about 20 km south in Sukagawa, it has domestic connections to Okinawa, Osaka, and Sapporo, plus limited international service.
- Use Kōriyama as a regional hub — the Ban'etsu West Line, Tohoku Expressway, and bus network make it a logical base for exploring inland Fukushima and Niigata.
