Third day in Fukushima

First we woke up on the beautiful view of the rainy lake

We first drove and on our way to Ouchi-juku we stop by Aizuwakamatsu where we could see the amazing 14 th biggest statue on ear of Jibo Dai Kannon she is 57m (187 ft) and absolutely beautiful

Jibo literally means “loving mother” and therefore the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy is depicted with a child in her arms. In Japan, the Kannon’s three female forms are meant to depict child giving, mothering in general and being a loving mother. She is the patron saint of motherhood, easy delivery and child-rearing.

Visitors can go inside the 57 m-tall statue or enjoy the enormous Japanese garden with a 14-m Reclining Buddha.

Well it is foggy but she is really nice

Then we drove for ?uchi-juku

view from the road

?uchi-juku was an important post town whose buildings served as shops, inns and restaurants for travelers it is still very traditional and beautiful

After such a nice town we left for the Nikko and Oze National park.

After lunch we wanted to go higher but the road was close due to big snow

So we went back down the mountain

and then we went to visit a traditional outdoor theater

a scissor shrine

The toilets are really nice too (outside) after like I say already 2 years ago, I believe that Japanese traditional toilets are worst than the Turkish one eheh
