Travelers document summer trips through Ehime and Fukushima

Personal travel accounts detail summer trips through various Japanese regions. One traveler recounts a journey through Ehime, visiting Dogo Onsen and experiencing local cuisine like Taimeshi. The trip included rail travel via the Iyo Railway and a ferry crossing to Usuki, which faced delays due to the effects of the Kumamoto earthquake.

Another account describes a trip to Fukushima, specifically the Aizu-Wakamatsu and Aizu Yanagawa areas. The traveler details a stay at Azuma-kan, noting issues with air conditioning in the hot weather, and a visit to the birthplace of the Akabeko, though the intended red bridge was undergoing maintenance.
