Fukushima
Fukushima is a large prefecture in the south of Tohoku. It divides into three areas—Aizu, Nakadori, and Hamadori—each with its own climate and culture. Known for fruit such as peaches and for Kitakata ramen, it preserves the historic Tsuruga Castle in Aizuwakamatsu and is rich in nature, from Lake Inawashiro to Mt. Bandai.
