Fukushima Prefecture

Fukushima Prefecture combines Pacific coastal openness with a mountainous interior in a way that reflects its position between the ocean and the highlands of northeastern Honshu. Its varied territory extends from the shoreline through the Abukuma Highlands to the snowier Aizu region in the west. Lake Inawashiro and Mount Bandai are enduring landmarks of the interior, while Aizu-Wakamatsu is known for Tsuruga Castle and traditions including lacquerware and sake brewing. This is a prefecture of distinct local identities, shaped by coast, farmland, forests, and mountain basins.
