Tour the sites connected to the White Tiger Corps and Sazaedo with its spiral structure

About this spot

A small mountain known as the resting place of White Tiger Corps soldiers who died in the Boshin War, with a memorial site at the summit. The "Sazaedo" along the approach path is a rare wooden structure with a double spiral interior, featuring a unique design where people ascending and descending don't pass each other—a marvel you can still tour today. It's a classic Aizu tourism spot where you can experience both the weight of Aizu's history and the wonder of its architecture.
