Introduction
Kunimi Atsukashi no Sato is a roadside station located at the northern end of Fukushima, connecting the Kanto and Tohoku regions.
The topography of the basin’s northern greenery has made it a key location where traffic routes converge towards the mountain pass and proceeding north through Kunimi is another step further into the interior of the prefecture.
The unique large wave-shaped roof is a reference to the curves of Kunimi’s historical site, the Atsukashiyama Barrier, the curves of the local peaches, and the warmth and sincerity of the local people.

As one of the few remaining sites that tells the history of the Battle of Oshu, there is a 3.2 km long double moat built to prevent the enemy from entering. You can stand on the barrier and feel the history.
