Tomioka, Coastal town in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan

Tomioka spans 68.39 square kilometers along the Pacific Ocean coastline of central Fukushima, featuring two main districts with separate train stations.

The area contains Kofun period burial mounds and was part of Mutsu Province during the Edo period, when it belonged to Iwakitaira Domain.

The Hayama shrine in Tomioka holds the thirty-third position in a Japanese pilgrimage path and traditionally conducted fire festivals for agricultural prosperity.

The town maintains two public elementary schools, two junior high schools, and one high school to serve the educational needs of returning residents.

After the 2011 nuclear incident, the population dropped from 10,000 to 1,326 residents by 2023, marking a significant demographic transformation.
