Japan's Fukushima, the site of one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters, is now well on the road to recovery with displaced residents returning home and tourism related activities gaining momentum.

Thanks to the Japanese government’s reconstruction efforts and decontamination activities, added with decreasing radiation levels, the place is safe for occupation and is no longer a ghost town.
