Fukushima Prefecture | A Tapestry of Diverse Landscapes Woven by Three Regions

 

Fukushima Prefecture, with its vast land area, is composed of three distinct regions—Hamadori, Nakadori, and Aizu—each fostering its own unique climate and culture.

 

Hamadori, facing the Pacific Ocean, enjoys a mild climate and thrives on fishing, making use of the sea’s bounty. In recent years, it has also gained attention as a hub for renewable energy initiatives.

 

Nakadori, located in the central part of the prefecture, serves as a key transportation corridor where urban functions and agriculture coexist.

 

Surrounded by mountains, the Aizu region is known for its heavy snowfall and has long nurtured a culture rooted in history and tradition. Landmarks such as Tsuruga Castle and streetscapes that retain the atmosphere of samurai culture continue to captivate visitors.

 

Fukushima is also renowned for its fruit production, especially peaches, apples, and pears, which are prized throughout Japan for their sweetness and juiciness.

 

Although the region suffered severe damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear accident in 2011, each area has been steadily recovering, forging ahead with resilience and embracing new challenges for the future.
