Ouchijuku Fukushima is a prefecture on the Pacific coast in the southern Tohoku Region which has become world famous through the nuclear accident which was triggered by the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. Fukushima is a large prefecture, and the heavily radioactively contaminated area is limited to its eastern parts. Prefectural capital is Fukushima City. Touristically, Fukushima is best known for the former castle town of Aizu-Wakamatsu, the nearby volcano Mount Bandai (Bandaisan) and for Oze National Park, which fortunately were all spared heavy contamination by the nuclear accident and are keen to welcome back tourists. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
