Fukushima JR Station 福島駅
Fukushima JR Station serves Tohoku Shinkansen line 東北新幹線, Yamagata Shinkansen line 山形新幹線, Ou main line 奥羽本線 and Tohoku main line 東北本線, located in the capital city of Fukushima Prefecture. Came to this train station on two separate occasions but did not manage to explore the surrounding area in depth on both visits. Therefore, this post is limited in content and is solely based on what I saw and did for my trip. On my second trip to Tohoku region, I visited Tsugaru Castle 鶴ヶ城, Ochijuku 大内宿 and Higashiyama Onsen 東山温泉 during my stay in Fukushima Prefecture and I think that this prefecture still has a lot to offer - beautiful natural scenery (Goshikinuma 五色沼, Bandaisan 磐梯山, etc) and delicious food (Kitakata Ramen 喜多方ラーメン, gyoza, etc). Hopefully I get to return to Fukushima Prefecture on future trips to Japan soon to uncover these places of interest.

Toyoko Inn Fukushima Eki Higashi Guchi 1 東横イン福島駅東口1
Stayed 21.05.2016 (Sat)
Booked thru' Toyoko Inn website
Single room = 6,156 yen
Satisfied. There are a total of three Toyoko Inn branches located in the vicinity of Fukushima Station; one located just a stone throw away from the west exit while the other two are situated near the east exit. For my trip, I stayed at Higashi Guchi 1 which is adjacent to its sister branch (Higashi Guchi 2). Similar to previous stay in other branches of Toyoko Inn, I like its strategic location near the train station and its no frills concept.
