This tour takes you through the coastal area in Fukushima. In 2011, the area experienced three disasters: a major earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. More than 10 years have passed since then, but only a small part of the residents have returned, and there are problems such as the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and waste disposal.

Reviews
“Great (customized) version of this trip with Go”
Go was very friendly, went out of his way to fit in with our needs (tweaking the itinerary and even borrowing a bigger car), and was a mine of detailed information on the complexities of the Fukushima response after 2011 to Japanese politics, the local population decline, and the economy. A fascinating day with a particular highlight being the visit to the the The Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum in Futaba. A unique (and completely safe) experience we'd strongly recommend.

Go san is a kind-hearted person, he accommodated my change of schedule as far as he could. He asked why I opted for this tour and he could addressed with places to visit from extraordinary to wow. Go san was informative and talkative as well which allowed us to exchange observations and ideas of the local area spicing up the experience.

“Fukushima Coastal Tour”
I spent an amazing day with Go. He picked me up at my hotel and was on time. He took me to some awesome spots that I really enjoyed. It was one of my favourite parts of my trip as I got to see a side of Japan that you don’t see in the major cities. Go had the itinerary all laid out and I never felt rushed exploring the whole day. I went solo with him and his English is excellent.
