Kōriyama

About Kōriyama

Discover Koriyama, a hidden gem in Japan's Fukushima prefecture, where traditional charm meets modern attractions. The city's standout feature is the Fukushima Museum of Art, showcasing an impressive collection of contemporary Japanese art. One unique experience that travellers love is visiting the Koriyama Castle's beautiful gardens, especially during cherry blossom season.

The best time to visit Koriyama is during spring (March to May) when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and autumn (September to November) when the foliage is stunning. For first-time visitors, we recommend purchasing a Fukushima Prefecture Pass, which grants access to public transportation and attractions, making it easier to navigate the city and explore its surroundings.
