  • Japan’s Nuclear Power Plant Belt: As her aging husband is handicapped, an old woman is peeling peas to help their living, at her house in extremely depopulating Oku-Izumo in Shimane, one of the nuke-plant prefectures in Japan. All of nuke power plant regions and nearby have faced the drastic depopulation, the shrinking job market and the aging society. That was one of the biggest reasons nuke reactors were created in such areas, though after the 2011 Fukushima nuke power plant disaster, all reactors have been suspend for the operation. Yet, the Japanese government and many residents of such nuke power plant belt want to resume the operation. #japan’s_nuclear_power_plant_belt #old_people #oku_izumo #depopulation #aging_society #shimane #japan #rural_area #countryside

  • Japan’s Nuclear Power Plant Belt: This is a series of the coverage for its rural areas that contain nuclear reactors, though all of them are suspended in terms of the operation so far after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The image: Girls are hanging out at Crystal Beach in Mihama where three nuclear reactors (in the top right) are located. The beach was one of the most famous in Japan. Yet, since 2011, less people have come. Some of beach-related summer jobs in Mihama area were closed. Actually the region, called as Tsuruga in Fukui prefecture, has faced the drastic depopulation and the shrinking of job market for so long time. That was one of the biggest reasons why nuke reactors were created here. Indeed Fukui prefecture is the most nuke reactor-concentrated area in Japan. #japan’s_nuclear_power_plant_belt #mihama #tsuruga #kitty #girl #woman #women #crystal_beach #suishohama #japan #rural_area #countryside #fukui

  • Fukushima: An elder woman at a compound of temporality housing for the victims/ survivors of the 2011 quake/ tsunami, nuke power plant disaster. They are supposed to have already moved or do so soon to their real home. But since Tokyo, the capital of Japan, won the right to host the 2020 Olympic games, Japan have become the construction boom for it now, and consequently the home construction for the 2011 quake/ tsunami/ nuke power plant disaster survivors has gotten very delayed. It means many of such refugees may not be able to move to the real home in their life, since The majority of the refugees are very old.

  • Radiation Contaminated Sunflower
  • Fukushima: Today I found a baby swallow at the altar at an abandoned elementary school in Ukedo, a highly restricted area in Fukushima. I don’t know why she was out of her nest. She was seemingly fine, even somehow friendly. But I have to tell that she is living in a radiation-contaminated food chain due to the 2011 Fukushima nuke power plant disaster. And nobody knows how long such a dangerous food chain continues. #badyswallow #swallow #bird #food_chain #ukedo #radiation #radiation_food_chain #fukushima
