Buses provide transportation within Fukushima City; however the attractions outside of the city center, such as Takayu Onsen and the Azuma Mountains, are not well served by public transportation and are better accessed by rental car. Rental car outlets can be found around Fukushima Station. Note that the Bandai-Azuma Skyline, a former toll road, is now free to use.
