The drive starts at Central Iwaki City and heads to Minamisoma through the difficult-to-return zone and areas devastated by the Tsunami of the Tohoku Earthquake in 2011.
The difficult-to-return zone is an evacuation-ordered zone where the annual integrated dose may not fall below 20 millisieverts even after five years have passed, and where the annual integrated dose is currently over 50 millisieverts.
Residents in the difficult-to-return zone are still unable to return to their homes.
Fortunately, this zone has shrunk year by year, and we hope all residents can go back home in the near future.
