Fukushima City is the capital of Fukushima Prefecture, the gateway to the Tohoku region. With a population of around 293,000 people, Fukushima City abounds with historical and natural sites such as the Bandai-Asahi National Park, a volcanic chain that runs beneath the Bandai-Azuma mountains giving rise to a host of magnificent onsens hot springs.

Yamagata has been best known by outsiders for Mount Zao's hot springs and Yamadera for centuries. In fact, Matsuo Basho stopped by Yamadera on July 13, 1689 as part of his poetic journey, Narrow Road to the Deep North, and penned the following famed haiku poem:
静けさや岩にしみ入る蝉の声
shizukesa ya iwa ni shimiiru semi no koe
Silence, and penetrating into the rocks - the cry of the cicada
- Matsuo Bashō
Yamagata City has hot, humid summers and snowy winters. Some might assume that being in the north gives it milder summers than much of the country, but the city rests in a valley between mountains which makes summers hotter. In fact, the city set the record for the hottest temperature recorded in the nation (40.8°C) in 1933 and held it for 74 years until 2007 when Kumagaya and Tajimi both recorded temperatures of 40.9°C. The autumn season typically begins in late October and peaks in early November. Yamadera is especially popular during this time. Winters are snowy, and the ski season on Mount Zao begins around mid-December. The famous Zao "Snow Monsters" are typically at their best in February.
