There are 47 Prefectures in Japan. Here is a brief glimpse at one of them!
Fukushima Prefecture
The third-largest prefecture in Japan, Fukushima is located to the the south of Miyagi and Yamagata, east of Niigata, and north of Gunma, Tochigi and Ibaraki Prefectures. It is the southernmost part of the Tōhoku region of Japan, and a land both rich in history and nature.
To most outside Japan, Fukushima is synonymous with the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami due to the nuclear power plant disaster that occurred there. But in the decade since, Fukushima has risen from the ashes on the path back towards its place as one of Japan’s premier travel destinations. From traditional thatched huts in Aizuwakamatsu to the mighty splendor of Lake Inawashiro, there’s no shortage of sights to see, and they’re worth your time to visit.
The beauty and variety of Fukushima’s scenery is captured below:
