Our Recommendation
3.5/5
Review: Consider visiting if you have the time

Fukushima Prefecture is home to rich and fertile lands that have contributed to the development of unique food and cultural traditions, with some of Japan’s finest fruit and sake being produced in this region. The area is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, and its famous hot springs and unspoiled wilderness have been popular with both domestic and international tourists for many years. In recent years, the region has also gained popularity as a destination for winter sports enthusiasts. Despite the devastating impact of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami on the area, the samurai culture of the western Fukushima and Aizu regions, which is characterized by resilience and determination, has played a vital role in the gradual recovery of the tourism industry.
