Creating Experiences for Visitors in the Triple-Disaster Fukushima Area - talking with Swastika & Trishit

Swastika & Trishit have been working with locals in Futaba Fukushima - a coastal area devastation by the 2010 earthquake, tsunami and radiation disaster that forced evacuation of the area. Now 16 years later, telling the stories of disaster and survival with visitors is a positive way to help rebuild the community.
