Namie, Coastal town in Futaba district, Japan
The municipality extends across 223 square kilometers along the Pacific coast of central Fukushima Prefecture, with both residential and agricultural zones.
The region contained Kofun period burial mounds and served as the center of ancient Futaba District within Iwaki Province during the Nara period.
Local artisans specialized in pottery production, establishing a distinct craftsmanship tradition that continues at the Namie Roadside Station through exhibitions and workshops.
The Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field operates in Namie since March 2020, marking a shift toward renewable energy development in the region.
The town experienced complete evacuation following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear incident, with radiation levels dividing the area into three distinct access zones.
