Have a deeper understanding of Fukushima, its uniqueness and an insight into various tourist attractions and rich activities.
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.
