NPO Fukushima Dialogue

On 11 July, Openradiation measurements were carried out in the forests of Kaidomari, Tabitomachi, Iwaki City.

The site where the measurements were taken is the future location of the nature experience facility, ‘Kobito no Mori,’ which is being prepared to open in spring 2025. In addition to offering nature experiences in the forest, a sauna will also be built for visitors to enjoy. It will be a facility where both children and adults can fully immerse themselves in nature.

The owner wanted to ensure that any customer queries about radiation could be properly addressed, so Fukushima Dialogue offered their assistance.

The measurement results are available on the Openradiation website.
