Fukushima is the southernmost prefecture in Tohoku, and the closest to Tokyo.  It is divided by mountain ranges into three regions (Aizu, Nakadori and Hamadori).  Aizu region has many scenic lakes, Nakadori region is an agricultural area and the Hamadori region lies on the Pacific Ocean and is the flattest and most temperate region in the prefecture.  Fukushima hosts several festivals each year.
