Ouchijuku (大内宿) is a small village nestled in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It is a popular tourist destination that offers visitors a glimpse into Japan’s rich history and traditional way of life.

Ouchijuku is renowned for its well-preserved Edo-period architecture, featuring thatched-roof houses and narrow streets paved with stone. Visitors can leisurely explore the village on foot and witness how life was lived in Japan during the Edo period.
