Fukushima Taxi: Disaster Memorial Course (伝承館コース）

The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011 devastated huge swathes of the Tohoku region; in Fukushima Prefecture alone, over 4,000 people lost their lives. Known by many locals as the triple disaster – earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant failure – the events of 2011 stand as one of the most severe disasters in modern history. Although citizens of coastal areas were ordered to evacuate in the aftermath of the disaster, extensive revitalization efforts have allowed people to come back, and as of 2024, the ‘difficult-to-return’ zone covers just 2.2% of Fukushima Prefecture. On this route, you’ll visit some of the most important places for learning more about the disaster and the effect it had on the local community.
