Bunker V2

After we found one bunker I was more interested in the stuff. So we started to make a short excursion around the area here. In the village of Packing 1 we found another bunker. Some locals told us that these buildings are remains of the Japanese from WW2.

Bunker V3

There is another known bunker but it was not accessible anymore. We asked the caretakers of the area to access it and they were so kind to let us pass a closed gate. It’s farmland with some cows on. In the middle there are a few hills. First I thought the hills are the bunkers but when we get there in the middle of the hills was a big hole with a shell of a bunker. Although the bunker is not in correct position anymore. It looks like someone tried to blow it up but the bunker was too solid to break.

Ryokan

During my stay in Fukushima i stayed two days in a Ryokan near Koriyama which is basically like a wellness hotel at a hot spring called onsen in japanese. There were more than 30 different public onsen and 2 private onsen. Males and females are separated in japan. They also offer some shops, a lot of karaoke rooms, arcade games and huge restaurants. I have been to a ryokan before but it was the first time for me to sleep on a futon at tatami, which means on the floor 🙂 Immediately after arrival you have to change to a yukata and wear this all the time, barefoot and e.g. at dinner. I enjoyed that stay and recommend everyone to experience the same at a onsen hotel.
