Fukushima is rising again. It’s completely safe and please visit here to support them plus to know more about its history and why it’s very important place in japan.

Such a unique experience that I would recommend to those wanting to get a true look into how the 2011 events affected the local area. I felt completely safe the entire time. The guide was knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. The trip had a packed schedule, but without feeling rushed. It was wonderful to interact with locals and have the change to support their ventures and local businesses. I will definitely be coming back to the area in the future!

An amazing experience! We were deeply impressed by the town's recovery after the 311 earthquake. As we walked through the center, we saw beautiful artwork that enhanced our understanding. We also learned fascinating stories and insights about the town's history. This tour was truly extraordinary and left us with a profound appreciation for the community's resilience and spirit.

During this tour we got the opportunity to meet a lot of local people living in the areas closer to Fukushima nuclear power plant. I had visited the area back in 2019, it was very much empty. Recently some towns re-opened, I was happily surprised to see that it has changed a lot since then! It is great to see the initiatives and how local people who came back are trying their best efforts to revitalise the area! Apart from the interesting discussion we had with locals, the Tomioka historical museum, displaying exhibits from the 2011 earthquake, was also a realmy good place to learn more things.

It was an excellent tour.The tour was consisting of sightseeing, knowledge gathering and experience the effects of a natural disaster. I also charmed to enjoy the culture and food. If you have time please try to visit Fukushima Coast areas.

This tour is a must do for those who want to explore Fukushima area. I was very interested on going to this area in Japan, but it is still very difficult to move around. The thour was perfect not also because we learnt what happened on this area during and after the disaster, but also because you have the opportunity to know how the area is being recovered. The high point of the trip is that you are introduced to some of the residents and also to one of the workers who was in the reactor of Fukushima plants. Their testimony were spechless. And all the time there's somebody translating everything in English for your comprehension.

My visit to Fukushima left a profound impression. Through direct conversations with former personnel from the nuclear power plant and interactions with residents in Tomioka, Okuma, and Futaba towns, I was able to witness the real situation on the ground. Engaging with the local community allowed me to hear their voices firsthand and share in their emotions and concerns, providing a more tangible understanding of the challenges and aspirations related to the region's recovery. On the other hand, I also witnessed the strong determination and unity of the local people, feeling a positive energy towards rebuilding. This experience went beyond mere tourism, becoming a deep human story and a platform for empathy

Wonderful opportunity to travel up north to Fukushima prefecture and learn first hand about what exactly happened on March 11th 2011. I went to the TEPCO decommissioning museum and learned how the nuclear accident happened. Then, I had the chance to visit the archive museum of a town neighboring the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. I was able to see artifacts and truly see how the world stopped on March 11th 2011 in this area. This area was devastated and inhabitable for almost 10 years. And now 13 years later, there were reminders everywhere of what happened. But this isn’t the end of story. Towns like Futaba and Okuma are working hard to increase their populations and restart their agricultural exports. I was happy to do this tour and I want Fukushima to succeed and I will definitely be back. Please visit Fukushima if you have the chance! You won’t regret it!

I enjoyed this tour in January 2024 and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Fukushima! In the years since the tragic events in 2011, many people have come to have had a negative impression when thinking about Fukushima. For many, the only time they may have ever heard about this large prefecture is in relation to the damage caused by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. But if you visit today, you can see a far more positive story. Communities rebuilding, people preserving and celebrating local history, and new businesses opening. If you want to better understand both sides of the recent story of Fukushima, I highly recommend this tour. I learned a lot about the events which occurred in 2011 and the contamination which eventuated. I was able to speak with people who have moved back into the rehabilitated areas, both locals returning home and new residents who have chosen to be a part of the new community. I also was able to speak with one of the managers who was in the Daiichi plant in 2011 and learned a lot about the events which occurred. Finally we also enjoyed some of the local foods, like fresh strawberries. The guide was fantastic and the hotel we stayed in was very comfortable. Everything was explained to me in English, so there were no language problems. I enjoyed it a lot!

it was a great experience to visit Fukushima coastal area where the nuclear disaster hit due to the 311 earthquake in 2011. it was a tour that i have never imagined how it could be. it is hard to imagine a disaster and how it could affect out lives until you go there. it is informative to learn how and what exactly happened on March 11, 2011 there. The interaction with local residents have made the picture more vivid. the trip was meanwhile inspiring while seeing more and more people moving back including young, foreign, and new residents devoting their career and lives there to rebuild Fukushima.

I had a great time on this tour and I learned a lot. It was very interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look at the horrible tragedy that happened back in 2011. I will say that during some of the segments on the tour I got a little bit bored, but other than that the locals and tour guide were very hospitable.

Highly recommend this tour if you want to have fun and learn about the stories of the coastal area of Fukushima! I’m glad I booked a tour for this one, as I got to learn about the history of Futaba, Tomioka and Okuma towns in depth by listening to the stories of the town people. I don’t think I would’ve learned so much if I had gone on my own. At the same time this tour had fun activities like going strawberry picking, eating at the cafeteria where TEPCO employees go to. We stayed at J Village hotel for the night. I highly recommend checking out the souvenir store as it has many Fukushima and Tohoku region items. The hotel has many soccer themed souvenirs and items all around as it is next to a stadium, and even a soccer shrine! I highly recommend this tour if you want to know about the stories of Fukushima and efforts to revitalize the towns directly from the towns people.

I highly recommend visiting the museums and local sites in the coastal area of Fukushima and engaging with the local residents. Fukushima is currently at a pivotal moment and offers an unprecedent opportunity to see the long-lasting impact of natural and man-made disasters on the environment, energy usage, culture, and history.

I really liked this tour! I think it is unique and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I don’t think many people abroad know or can understand what the country and especially Fukushima prefecture has gone through since 2011 till recent years. It is amazing to listen to the people and hear their personal stories. It feels full of hope seeing how the current community came together from all over the country and abroad and dedicated their entire time to reviving the towns which have been affected the most. I also think it’s very special to meet someone who was in charge of the site of Fukushima Daiichi power plant during those hard moments. Listening to his story was very emotional. It is also important to understand the technical part of what happened and what’s happening now during the decontamination process and that is easily explained at the museums. I would definitely visit these towns again!

The tour will let you time-travel to the tragic past, the hopeful present and the promising future in just 2 days. I definitely recommend Japan Wonder Travel as the staff are attentive, patient and well-organized throughout the tour. To appreciate more on the contents of the tour, I would also suggest you to watch a movie called “Fukushima 50” but you will still get an ample opportunity to learn of the disaster and its aftermath without prior knowledge on it. The museums and real-world accounts from the town people will tell stories with lots of emotion.
