Feb 25, 2025

Fukushima (Japan), Feb 25 (ANI): Since the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, Fukushima has made a remarkable recovery, reclaiming its status as a popular tourist destination and attracting visitors from around the world. Recently, Vietnamese influencer Khoai Lang Thang explored Fukushima to showcase its winter beauty. The Vietnamese influencer experienced snowshoe trekking through 1.3 meters of snow — an exceptional sight, as such heavy snowfall returned this winter after an eight-year gap. Rather than finding it difficult, he described the experience as thrilling and enjoyable. At the Samurai Residence, visitors can immerse themselves in the way of the samurai, gaining insight into their lifestyle and philosophy. Tsurugajo Castle attracts numerous foreign visitors, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the culture of samurai warriors. Every spring, the Soma region hosts a historic samurai battle re-enactment, where participants don traditional armour and ride horses. Karasuzaki Beachfront Park serves as a training ground for mastering horseback riding and control, allowing participants to embrace the samurai spirit. The tradition of grilling skewered seafood over a charcoal fire in the Matsukawaura region had faded after the 2011 earthquake. However, thanks to dedicated volunteers, it was revived a decade later. The young Vietnamese influencer was captivated by Fukushima’s winter beauty. His experience further fuelled his enthusiasm, inspiring him to engage more frequently and passionately with his two million followers.
