Fukushima #3: Ōuchijuku
Having just visited the castle, we were off to yet more historic sightseeing. Ōuchijuku (大内宿) is a small village nearby Aizu, where all houses of the main street have traditional kayabuki roofs. Most of these are shops of all kinds, with their front doors wide open. The people seemed very friendly too, and they'll happily talk your ear off about the village in their local accent.
There are canals on both sides of the street carrying cold and fresh water. Merchants selling drinks or fruits put their goods in it.
