Minamiaizu offers many sightseeing spots, such as To-no-hetsuri, Ouchi-juku, Tokusa Onsen, Yunohana Onsen, Azuki Onsen, and Maezawa Kyokka Village. Local delicacies such as negi soba (buckwheat noodles with green onions) are also recommended.

The area is also dotted with scenic spots created by nature, such as canyons, waterfalls, and rocks, including Byobu-Iwa and Tate-Iwa, Hizume Falls, Catfish Falls, and Tate-Iwa River, all of which are spectacular spots that will make you forget about everyday life and the passage of time.
Ouchi Juku, built in the Edo period (1603-1867), is now designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and is lined with houses with thatched roofs, which are very rare today.
