Fukushima Prefecture

Fukushima Prefecture is a region in Japan known for its natural beauty, mountains, and coastal areas. It became globally recognized after the 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where an earthquake and tsunami caused reactor meltdowns and radiation leaks. Since then, efforts have been underway to decontaminate and rebuild communities. The area features lush landscapes, hot springs, and cultural sites, attracting visitors and supporting local industries like agriculture and tourism. Despite past challenges, Fukushima continues to recover and promote its natural and cultural assets.
