Introduction

I’m interested in local history, especially the samurai age. Aizu-Wakamatsu is called the Samurai City and is known as the “land of the last samurai”. In 1868, the castle town became a battlefield and many things were lost. But,the samurai spirit or Aizu spirit still remains today. I’d like to share such memorable stories with you.
