I live pretty far from Fukushima city, actually. My town is called Kagamiishi. The most direct route there is to take the shinkansen to Shinshirakawa station (south of Kagamiishi) and then take the local train from there. However, not all shinkansens stop at Shinshirakawa because it's a minor stop. It is often more convenient (but a bit more expensive) to get off the shink at Koriyama, which is to the north of Kagamiishi, and then take the local train from there.
Re: sightseeing, just so you know what's available around here, the main thing we have in Fukushima is Aizu, where the shinsengumi had a castle and like, did stuff. It's a bit far from where I live though...about an hour away by train. I wouldn't mind going there...I could meet up with my old homestay family for a bit, since I haven't seen them for a while.
If we don't go sightseeing, we can maybe go to Round 1. Have you been to one of those before? It's got all-you-can-play darts, pool, karaoke, tons of arcade machines, skating (I can't skate), tennis, batting, archery, mini-golf, roulette...the list goes on. I'm not really into sports but I find the place really fun.
Or we could just hang around my town or meet up with my boyfriend and friends. Your choice!
