Tanagura

Tanagura combines the legacy of an Edo-period castle town with the calm of a rural river basin in a way that reflects its position in southern Fukushima Prefecture. The town lies near the headwaters of the Kuji River, amid cultivated land and wooded country associated with the Abukuma Highlands. Tanagura Castle was built in 1627 by the daimyō Niwa Nagashige, and its grounds recall the town’s former role as the seat of a feudal domain. Rather than a large urban centre, Tanagura reveals the close links between local history, agriculture and the wider Tōhoku interior.
