Visiting Namie 1.5 years after the lifting of evacuation order, October 7-8, 2018. （避難解除１年半後の 浪江町 に復興の兆しを見る ２０１８年１０月７－８日）
I visited Namie Town on a special 2-day tour organized by Environment Restoration Plaza (Fukushima City). About 20 people from inside and outside of Fukushima Prefecture participated in the tour with almost the same number of staff members attended. Namie Town had been evacuated for the whole population and area immediately after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant accident in March 11th, 2011. The central part of the town was lifted an evacuation order by the end of March, 2017 and started its restoration efforts. I visited the town at the time and enjoyed beautiful cherry blossoms street along the Ukedo River, but the town center was in the very beginning of reconstruction. On this tour I visited many places, had chances to hear from many local people and totally had a strong sense of momentum toward the revitalization. Photo above was one of the places: Ukedo Fishing Port. The port had already been recovered from devastation by tsunami, but the number of fishing boat is still 27 compared to 94 before the disaster. This was the second largest fishing port in Fukushima following the largest Haragama Port in Soma.
環境再生プラザ（環境省の組織で福島県にある）主催の２日間のツアーに参加し、浪江町に行きました。県内外から２０人ほどが参加し、また主催者側から同じ位の数の方々にサポートして頂きました。浪江町は，２０１１年３月の原発事故で全町民、全エリアが避難指示となりましたが、町の中心部は２０１７年３月末に解除されました。私が翌月４月に訪れたときは、請戸側沿いの桜並木が大変きれいでしたが、町中はこれから復興が始まるときでした。今回の旅では、町の色々な場所、色々な方のお話を聞くことができ、町の復興の勢いを十分に実感できました。写真は、その１つの請戸漁港です。港は、津波の被害から復旧し試験操業も行っていますが、漁船の数は２７と，震災前の９４に戻るにはまだこれからです。請戸漁港は，福島県では相馬の原釜漁港に次いで、２番目の漁獲高を誇ります。
On a hill called Ohirayama near the Ukedo Port, there was a large memorial for all the 182 victims in Namie Town by the March 11th disaster as shown above. It became famous that all the children and teachers of Ukedo Elementary School evacuated on this hill safely at the time of tsunami. We could see from here the remains of the school, the Pacific Ocean and even Fukushima Daiichi stacks 5km away.
請戸漁港の近くの大平山と呼ぶ丘の上に、大震災で浪江で亡くなった１８２人の方の慰霊碑（写真）があります。この丘は、近くの請戸小の生徒・先生が、津波が来る中で避難し全員助かったことで有名です。丘からは，旧請戸小、太平洋、また５ｋｍ離れた１Ｆ原発の排気塔も見えます。
We stayed overnight at the town operated public inn called Ikoinomura-Namie as shown above. The facility was renovated and reopened in June 2018, and was one of the recovery symbols. It was very comfortable. It was not ready to provide meals yet. There were nice hiking trails in the back yard but the area was still under preparation and closed.
１日目の夜は、写真の町の公共の宿「いこいの村なみえ」に泊まりました。２０１８年６月に修復され再開したもので、町のシンポルの１つです。新しく快適でしたが、まだ食事の提供には至っていません。裏山には、素敵なハイキングコースもありますが，整備中でまだ閉鎖されています。
There was a nice commercial and eatery area called Machi-Nami-Marche just adjacent to the town hall as shown above.
町役場の隣には、写真の「まち・なみ・まるしぇ」と呼ぶお店と食事処の小さなコーナーがあります。
We had a nice and healthy breakfast at Kitchen Grandma as shown above, which was located within Machi-Nami-Marche.
我々は、この中にある写真のキッチングランマで、朝食をとりました。
About 3-minute walk from the town hall, there was a guest house called Aotaso, which has several rooms for accommodation. A young manager Izumi-san in his twenties operates this facility with many supports from local people. Many volunteers and students from outside Fukushima have been using this house.
町役場から３分ほど歩いた場所に，あおた荘というゲストハウスがあります。泊まる部屋として数部屋あり、和泉さんという２０代の若い経営者が地元の方の協力も得て、運営しています。県外からの多くのボランティアや学生さんなどが多く泊まるそうです。
At OCAFE shown above, which was a small café located at Kariyado district surrounded by fields, we could see and hear special picture stories.
町中心部から少し離れた苅宿地区にあるＯＣＡＦＥ（写真）というカフェでは、特別な紙芝居が見られました。
Mrs. Oka performed and told us a picture story about firefighters at the time of the March 11th disaster as shown in the picture and very short piece of video above. It was a very regrettable story triggered by nuclear plant accident.
上の写真とビテオ（ごく一部分のみ）にあるように、岡さんが、震災と原発事故時の消防隊員の無念の話を紙芝居で語ってくれました。
At Ishii farm operated by another active woman Mrs. Ishii in the town, we had a harvest experience of fine egoma or perilla beans just in season. Egoma plant looked today as shown above. We harvested large amount of egoma beans equivalent of several bottles of very expensive egoma oil today.
石井農園では、もう１人の元気な女性の石井さんから、ちょうど時期のエゴマの収穫体験をさせてもらいました。写真は、今日のエゴマの姿です（収穫前）。我々が本日収穫した分で、高級なエゴマ油のびんが、数本作れるそうです。
On the way to Namie in the first day, we stopped at Stable Michikusa in Minamisoma as shown above. Since the nuclear plant accident many horses had been taken to this shelter and taken care of by a volunteer.
１日目に浪江に行く途中、南相馬の厩舎みちくさに寄りました。原発事故で飼い主から離れた馬たちの世話を、ここであるボランティア（いまではお仕事）さんがしてきました。
A memorial for cattle victims by the nuclear plant accident stood at the back of the site as shown above.
裏には、原発事故の影響で犠牲になった牛たちの慰霊碑も立っていました。
Another stop was Soma Ranch which was a large cattle farm of 180 calves before the accident. Today the owner restarted the ranch producing grass and raising sheep as shown above.
もう１ヶ所、南相馬で寄ったのが相馬牧場です。ここは，原発事故前は１８０頭の子牛を飼っていましたが、今では牧草と羊の飼育に変わりました。
This bus tour started from JR Fukushima Station and moved east toward Hamadori region. The bus traveled through Soma and Minamisoma Cities, stopping at some of the places, and finally reached Namie Town area. On the way back, the bus went through a part of still evacuated area such as Obori district. Each of us carried a small dosimeter and my dosimeter measured air radiation dose of between 0.06 and 0.84 micro Sv/h throughout the tour. The maximum dose of 0.84 was seen when moving through still evacuated Obori area. Accumulated dose for 33 hours during the travel was 3.11 micro Sieverts, which was equivalent of 0.83mSv/yr. This is considered below the global safety standard.
このバスツアーは、ＪＲ福島駅を出発し、東の浜通りに向かい相馬と南相馬を経由し，浪江に入りました。帰りは、大堀地区など一部避難区域を通りました。我々は皆、参考に線量計を携帯し道中測定をしました。私の線量計では、線量は0.06から0.84マイクロシーベルト／時の間を記録しました。最大値の0.84は、まだ避難区域の大堀地区を通過した際に出たものです。また、全行程の積算値は、3.11マイクロシーベルトでこの値は、年間被ばく量に換算して0.83ミリシーベルト／年となり、国際安全基準から見ても小さい値でした。
