"Forest Kingdom" Fukushima-ken by manuelEB

Fukushima-ken Travel Guide: 98 reviews and 146 photos

Exhuberant nature

Fukushima Prefecture has a lot to offer to the traveler. You will never hear of it because the Kyoto's temple hoping was -indeed- the main attraction of Japan till Tokyo Disneyland made it to Asia about 20 years ago.The beaches are not as crowded as in the Kanto area, and the mountains are an invitation to start trekking, Mr Spock. Forest Kingdom refers to the Bandai Highlands. The Inawashiro Lake is just beautiful and the whole area is packed with wonderful waterways and trekking courses. Close to Iwaki city there is a trekking course that takes you to a series of beautiful waterfalls:
Setogarou.

Francine has been married off to a good bank account... Unless you have a much bigger balance, you'll not add her to your harem... Size does matter, you know...
