Namie, in coastal Fukushima Prefecture, is one of the towns directly adjacent to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and has undergone extraordinary efforts at recovery and repopulation following the 2011 disaster, with residents returning to rebuild their livelihoods and revive community heritage. Futaba Onsen Fukushima serves the returning community with chloride-rich thermal waters from the area's geothermal resources, providing a place of comfort and normalcy for residents reclaiming their hometown. The reopening of thermal facilities here symbolises the broader resilience and determination of coastal Fukushima's communities in the face of historic adversity.
