Iwaki, a coastal city in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, is a hidden gem that offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural experiences. The city's crown jewel is the Bandai-Asahi National Park, a UNESCO Global Geopark featuring stunning volcanic landscapes, hot springs, and picturesque lakes. One thing that travellers love about Iwaki is its tranquil atmosphere, which is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the chaos of city life. The best time to visit Iwaki is during the autumn season, from September to November, when the surrounding mountains and lakes are painted with vibrant hues of orange and yellow. For first-timers, a practical tip is to rent a car to explore the city and its surroundings, as public transportation can be limited in rural areas, and the scenic routes are best experienced with a personal vehicle.
