About Fukushima Innovation Tourism

Recovery and reconstruction are steadily progressing in areas such as Hamadori. New
initiatives and various projects are
also underway. Here we will introduce Fukushima Innovative Tourism, a program to learn about
the efforts being performed
and current situation in the Innovation Region. You will also learn about the connections
between these various
initiatives and the possibilities they provide. We hope you will watch the video and view
the model routes on this
website, which reveal the framework’s core facilities and help you understand the current
situation and the efforts
being made. We hope that you’ll then experience Fukushima for yourself. We’re here to
support your visit.

Risk Management Training Course

Disasters or crises can happen at any time, but what actions should we take if they
occur? We have developed a workshop
where participants exchange opinions and come up with answers to the questions,
while sharing the experiences of
facilitators who were involved in the management of evacuation centers during the
Tohoku Earthquake.
