Fukushima Prefecture Hope Tourism General Guidebook
2/32

●Regarding radiation~Leveraging our creative capacity to go deeper and be even more positive. New study tours for learning together~ I would like to once more express my heartfelt gratitude to people in Japan and around the world for their generous encouragement and warm support we have received since the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred.Fukushima Prefecture is the only place in the world to have experienced an earthquake, tsunami, nuclear disaster, and harmful rumours all at once. While we continue to face complex and diverse issues, there are a large number of people who are marching on towards revitalization without giving in to adversity, and continuing to rise to meet every challenge with an eye to the future. This is what defines Fukushima and why there is so much “new learning” to be gained here.Fukushima Prefectural Government is promoting “Hope Tourism,” a journey that will allow you to grow personally as you witness Fukushima as it stands now and meet the people who continue to work towards revitalization, while reflecting on the lessons from the earthquake and nuclear disaster and ways to achieve revitalization and overcome adversity.Through this guidebook, I hope that by reading about the contents and learning effects of tours catering to the needs of educational tours, human resources development for corporations and international students, etc., you will consider participating in the field of Fukushima as part of “Hope Tourism” tours. How much of the human body is affected by radiation?UCHIBORI Masao, Governor of Fukushima PrefectureFor the most part, radiation levels in Fukushima Prefecture have been significantly reduced due to decontamination and natural attenuation.
