Fukushima Prefecture

Fukushima (福島) beckons with its stunning natural beauty and rich history, stretching 150 kilometers from the Pacific coast into the breathtaking Tohoku mountains. Just over an hour from Tokyo by shinkansen, this diverse prefecture offers visitors everything from scenic volcanic landscapes and rejuvenating hot springs to vibrant cherry blossoms and vibrant autumn foliage. Explore its charming castle towns, savor high-quality sake, and enjoy thrilling experiences at Japan's first theme park, the Spa Resort Hawaiians.

While the 2011 earthquake and tsunami had a significant impact, much of Fukushima remains a safe and inviting destination. The no-entry zone around the nuclear plant is less than 3% of the prefecture, and radiation levels have returned to normal in most areas, especially in the western regions. Enjoy the historical charm of Aizu Wakamatsu and venture into the lush, contamination-free mountains for an unforgettable escape. Discover Fukushima's resilience and beauty—it's a perfect spot for your next adventure!
