Iitate, Agricultural village in Soma District, Japan
Iitate spans 230 square kilometers across the Abukuma Plateau of northeastern Fukushima Prefecture at an elevation of 500 meters above sea level.
The village formed through the merger of Iiso and Otate villages in 1956, establishing a new administrative entity in the Soma District.
The municipal symbols of Iitate incorporate the golden lily, red pine tree, and singing bush warbler, representing the natural elements of the region.
The village operates without passenger train services, with National Route 399 serving as the main transportation connection to neighboring areas.
Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear incident, radiation levels in Iitate reached 360 times higher than normal, leading to complete evacuation of residents.
