Aizuwakamatsu 会津若松市, Fukushima Prefecture

Aizuwakamatsu (Japanese: 会津若松市) is a city in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It covers 383 sq km (148 sq mi) and has a population of 125,000 people (2012 estimate).

The history of Aizuwakamatsu goes back to the Japanese feudal period, when it was a loyal supporter of the Tokugawa Shogun following the latter's surrender of power to the emperor. Perhaps for that reason, the town was dealt harshly by imperial forces. The present city dates to 1899.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
