Inawashiro

Intro

History
Inawashiro is aptly named as it lies along the coast of Lake Inawashiro. Inawashiro used to be a part of the Aizu domain during the Edo period. It is also the birthplace of Doctor Hideyo Noguchi, who helped make great advancements against syphilis and yellow fever (and you might have seen his face on the 1000 yen note).

Geography and Climate
Summers here are slightly cooler than the rest of Aizu thanks to the nearby lake and cooling mountain breeze. Winter brings lots of snow and bitter cold.

Schools
There are six Elementary schools, three Junior High Schools and one High School.
