Fukushima Prefecture (福島県, Fukushima-ken?) is located in the Tohoku region on Honshū, Japan. The capital is the city of Fukushima. Aizuwakamatsu was the site of an important battle in the Boshin war, during which 19 teenage members of the Byakkōtai committed ritual seppuku suicide. Their graves on Mt. Iimori are a popular tourist attraction. Mt. Bandai, in the Bandai-Asahi National Park, erupted in 1888, creating a large crater and numerous lakes, including the picturesque Five-Coloured Lakes (Goshikinuma). The area is popular with hikers and skiiers. Kitakata is well known for its distinctive Kitakata ramen (Chinese noodles) and well-preserved traditional storehouse buildings, while Ouchijuku in the town of Shimogo retains numerous thatched buildings from the Edo Period.
