Futaba Town is near the center of the Hamadori region, facing the Pacific Ocean, and prospered as a shukuba (post town) on the Hama Kaido road. The whole town was evacuated after the nuclear accident; the evacuation order has been lifted in some areas, and residents have begun to return. The Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum passes on the memory of the disaster.
