Fukushima's Spa Resort Hawaiians is one of Japan's most popular 'theme park' destinations. Accommodations to suit all budgets have been built around an indoor water park, outdoor hot springs pools, and much more. The resort is famous for its hospitality and warmth, and many visitors (mostly families) are repeat customers. The interesting history of the resort can be seen in the Japanese movie, 'Hula Girls'.

This slide is very popular with teens.

Have 'doctor fish' eat the dead skin off your feet.

Never even knew about this place until reading your piece! Putting it on the list - I think my kids would love it!
I'm sure they will! And, if you drive there, be sure to also visit Iwaki's aquarium and maybe take a boat cruise along the coast.
