Yamatsuri: 東舘温泉 ユーパル矢祭 - Kujigawa Cycling Road - 東橋
Built around the Kuji River, Yamatsuri grew into a rural town in southern Fukushima Prefecture. The Kuji continues south through Ibaraki Prefecture before reaching the Pacific, and its valley gives the area a strongly riverside character. The Kujigawa Cycling Road follows this river corridor, linking fields, wooded banks and local settlements on a route suited to slow exploration. Higashi Bridge (東橋) crosses the Kuji within the town, while Higashidate Onsen Yu-Pal Yamatsuri is a public hot-spring facility. Together, the river, cycling route and onsen reflect a quieter side of regional Japan, where daily life and recreation remain closely connected to the valley landscape.

Few places in Fukushima Prefecture have a history as closely tied to the Kuji River as Yamatsuri. This small town occupies a narrow, wooded valley in the prefecture’s far south, close to the border with Ibaraki, where the river continues southward toward the Pacific. The surrounding terrain belongs to the Abukuma highlands, giving Yamatsuri a distinctly rural setting shaped by forest, slopes and the river corridor. The JR Suigun Line follows the Kuji valley, linking the town with Mito in Ibaraki and Kōriyama in Fukushima; its route reflects the importance of this natural passage through the hills.
