| Fukushima Ken("Ken" in Japanese means prefecture) is divided into three regions, Aizu, Nakadori("Nakadori" in Japanese means Middle areas), and Hamadori("Hamadori" in Japanese means Costal areas), with differences in topography, climate, transportation, and history due to the mountain ranges that run north to south. Aizu is located in the west of the prefecture, inland on the Sea of Japan side, sandwiched between the Echigo Mountains and the Ou Mountains. Nakadori is located in the center of the prefecture, inland on the Pacific side, sandwiched between the Ou Mountains and the Abukuma Highlands. Hamadori is located in the east of the prefecture, on the Pacific coast, sandwiched between the Abukuma Highlands and the Pacific Ocean. | ||
