Course A: Visiting the history of development in Asaka

[Course in the urban district/ time for tour: about 2hours and 32 minutes](By car)

Koriyama City is very energetic and powerful, and the prime point of the power lay in Meiji Era. In the beginning of Meiji, Asaka Canal was completed by irrigating from Lake Inawashiro to Asaka Plain. At the same time, Meiji Government encouraged warriors to work for their living in Japan, and then immigrants from throughout the country changed swords for hoes and worked with the local people to cultivate the barren wilds. Both successes of the projects were driving forces for the development of Koriyama. Let's go straight to the west along Sakura St. to visit Kaiseikan and find its history.
