Minamisoma, on the Pacific coast of Fukushima Prefecture, is deeply associated with the ancient Soma Nomaoi festival, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage event in which hundreds of samurai-clad horsemen race across a beach in a stirring pageant that has continued for over a thousand years. Soma Onsen Fukushima taps chloride-rich coastal thermal waters, offering baths that relieve ocean fatigue and warm body and spirit in an area of remarkable cultural resilience and historic identity. The city's ongoing recovery and renewal following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami has become an inspiring story of community determination along the Tohoku Pacific coastline.
