Shimogo

Shimogo sits beside the Ōkawa River in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, where forested Aizu mountains enclose a rural valley. Its best-known heritage site is Ōuchi-juku, a former post town on the Aizu Nishi Kaidō, the Edo-period route linking Aizu with Nikko. A broad lane lined by preserved thatched-roof houses recalls the days when travellers and packhorses moved through this mountain corridor; several houses now operate as shops and eateries. The Ōkawa has also carved the layered cliffs of Tō-no-Hetsuri, a designated national natural monument within the town.
