Visit Fukushima



Fukushima is located in the north-east region of Japan and is approximately 200km from Tokyo. It is called the “Kingdom of Choirs” in Japan, which has a big population of music fans and award-winning choirs.

Along with its unique music friendly culture, there you can find abundant natural beauty and traditional samurai culture, which is still being handed down over the generations. You can enjoy renowned hot springs, historical samurai sites, golf and even winter sports in splendid mountain resorts before/after the competition.
