Learning from Fukushima

We welcome university students, teachers, professors and researchers from overseas for group tours. We will arrange visits to nuclear plants, interviews, meetings, as well as permission to enter the exclusion zone in cooperation with local people, municipal governments, TEPCO, JAEA. One group should be of ten or more participants. Please contact us via our contact form or at tour@real-fukushima.com to request an arrangement.

We are neither anti-nuke nor pro-nuke. We want to carefully look back what happened and is happening in our homeland. We sincerely would like to share our experiences, regrets, lessons and challenges for the future with you.
