Tsubakurodani is one of the most popular scenic viewpoints along the Bandai-Azuma Skyline.
It was named "Tsubakurodani" (Valley of the Cliff Swallows) by the writer Yasushi Inoue, as cliff swallows used to fly around the area.
The 80m-high Fudōzawa Bridge, spanning the valley floor, is a symbolic landmark of Tsubakurodani.
From the bridge, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the valley with its vibrant greenery and autumn foliage, as well as a panoramic vista of Fukushima city in the distance.
The autumn foliage season is particularly spectacular, with the mountains ablaze in fiery reds and yellows.
A clear stream flows beneath the bridge, surrounded by abundant nature.
Tsubakurodani has a parking lot and restrooms, making it a convenient stop.
When driving along the Bandai-Azuma Skyline, be sure to stop by Tsubakurodani and experience its majestic natural beauty.
