Introduction of City

Fukushima Prefecture lies in the southernmost end of the Tohoku region. Eastern Fukushima faces the Pacific Ocean, while the Ou Mountains runs longitudinally through the middle of the prefecture, and the Abukumagawa river runs to the north on the eastern side of the Mountains. Fukushima Prefecture expands from east and west, with a total area of approximately 13,782.75km2, and is the third largest prefecture in the country after Hokkaido and Iwate. Based on terrain, climate, modes of transportation and history, Fukushima can be broadly divided into Hama-dori, on the Pacific Ocean side, Naka-dori, in the center, and Aizu in the west. Lake Inawashiro, which is the fourth largest lake in Japan, lies in the middle of the prefecture. Bandai-san, or Mt Bandai, straddling the three villages and towns of Inawashiro-machi, Bandai-machi and Kitashiobara-mura in Yama-gun, is also referred to as Aizu Fuji or Aizu Bandai-san, and has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, and is visited by large numbers of sightseers from throughout Japan.
