Fukushima is Japan’s 3rd largest prefecture by area, and is famous for bountiful nature, scrumptious cuisine, and welcoming locals. Fukushima is roughly split into three regions: Aizu, filled with abundant wilderness dotted by historical landmarks; Nakadori, known for gorgeous flowers and fresh fruit; and Hamadori, which faces the Pacific Ocean and is packed with stunning landscapes. Each region has its own unique features, culture, and climate, making them all equally worth exploring.
