Ouchi-juku is a charming village in Fukushima Prefecture that will transport you to Japan from a bygone era. During the Edo Period Ouchi-juku was a post town that served travellers journeying to and from the capital, and to this day it retains the atmosphere of yesteryear thanks to the well-preserved streets and traditional thatched-roof houses.
