If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Sitting 18 miles away, Yonezawa is worth hopping in the car for. Uesugi Jinja Shrine, Keji Maeda’s Tomb and Matsugasaki Park alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Koriyama, 18 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Asahi Brewery Fukushima. (But we’re also big fans of Koriyama City Museum of Art and Koriyama City Fureai Science Museum.)
