Route value

Fukushima is treated as a P1 deep route inside Tohoku. The point is not how many places can be listed, but whether the prefecture can become a coherent private route for one party.

Aizu, Bandai, or onsen resort bases above JPY 20,000/night is the first operating anchor. WAKO reads drive time, seasonal risk, meal windows, luggage, and return pressure before recommending the order.

Fukushima is a strong private alternative to crowded Tohoku icons.
