◆Efforts for the resumption of J-Village(Hirono Town, Naraha Town)
Fukushima Prefectural Government isaddressing the recovery of J-Village whichis under suspension due to the disaster.
We are planning not only to restore thepre-disaster condition but also build a more
attractive facility. For that, we aredeveloping a new accommodation building
with all weather training field in a scale of
the whole soccer ground to partially resume
the operation in summer of 2018 and fully
resume in April, 2019.
In 2020 Tokyo Olympic games, J-Village
will be a training camp for representativesof Japanese male and female soccer players.
We are reconstructing a new J-Village which
will gain popularity among people as asymbol of revitalization of the prefecture.

Reconstruction of the livelihood of disaster-affected citizens
In order to provide stable housing for disaster-affected citizens, including evacuees, Fukushima is in theprocess of installing disaster public housing. The Prefectural Government is responsible for ‘revitalization
public housing’ targeted towards nuclear evacuees and is currently planning to build a total of 4,890
units.
Temporary housing units for evacuees

Reconstruction of housing environment〈Housing environment of disaster-affected citizens 〉
Temporary housing units built（As of 2017.2.28)

15,437 units (6,292 units have tenants)

Housings rented by administrations to
support affected citizens

Provision for evacuees from areas other thanevacuation-ordered areas will terminate at theend of March, 2017. Accordingly, the prefectural
government started to accept applications for
subsidy of renting private apartments for those inneed of continued evacuation as to support
rebuilding of livelihoods from October 3, 2016.

In terms of receiving removed soil and other materials into the interim storage facility, 37 municipalities among 40
municipalities intended for transportation are transporting them. On November 15, 2016, construction began on the firstmain facilities, the "Intake and Sorting Facility" and "Soil Storage Facility." The Ministry of the Environment announced on
December 9 that it would begin preparing facilities to meet its next year's business plan of 500,000 cubic meters shipped, andits shipping goals for FY 2018.
The Prefectural Government will confirm the situation of transportation and facilities and post results on the prefectural

Thyroid UltrasoundExamination
Primary Examination＜Results of estimate on external exposure dose＞【All citizens surveyed】 Ratio of dose from 0 to 2mSv accounts for 93.8% of all.
※Estimate of external exposure dose for the 4 months from the nuclear accident (March-July2011)

Citizens aged 18 or younger at the time of the disaster (About 380,000 persons)
Full-scale Examination（April2011 to March2014）（April2014 - present）

Situation of the agricultural, forestry, and fishery Industries
Production values for the agricultural, forestry, and fishing industries have decreased since 3.11. The
prefecture is putting the upmost effort into a variety of activities to revitalize the agricultural, forestry, andfishery industries, which will in turn contribute to helping rebuild the livelihoods of disaster-affected citizens.
Activities include PR campaigns introducing delicious Fukushima products along with the systems in place toensure food security and safety.

At a reception in NY

Evening for appreciation from Fukushima(New York)The Governor visited America from October 16 to 21
2016. He expressed gratitude for support given over the
past years and conveyed the real situation of Fukushima
steadily heading for revitalization. Fukushima sake,
Fukushima beef and buckwheat noodles were preparedfor 200 participants including people relevant to New York
City and operators of food related industry at theexchange reception held in New York. There prefectural
food won the best appraisal in their taste and safety.

Expansion of prefectural peach market toThailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia
The Ministry of Finance's trade statistics for 2016
were released in January 2017. They showed that
Fukushima's peach exports to Thailand, Malaysia,
and Indonesia accounted for the highest market
share in Japan.
We will continue to promote sales to expand
Southeast Asian markets.

Food safety and security efforts
For the prevention of distributing foods containing radioactive materials over the safety standard level, we aredecontaminating farmland and intensifying the screening system to confirm the safety.
Particularly, rice which is a staple food, has to go through radiation monitoring. All rice bags produced in thewhole prefecture and shipped must be monitored before the shipment, and only rice bags meeting the safety
standard level are marked with certificate stickers.

Fishermen in Fukushima Prefecture were forced to place a ban on coastal and trawl fishing;
however the safety of certain species of fish has been confirmed based on over 40,000 items
tested during monitoring inspections. As of January 30, 2017, trial fishing is currently being
carried out targeting 97 specific species.

Tourism industry recovery
Between April and June 2016, we held a tourism campaign 2016 (After DC), "Island of fortunes in full bloom"
and had many sightseeing tourists visiting the prefecture. We are committed to making efforts for the successof Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, namely Revitalization Olympic Games.
We hope that many people will visit Fukushima prefecture and see our situation steadily moving forward
toward revitalization. To that end, we will strive for the promotion of tourism through improvement of
hospitality together with all citizens and development of receiving system and polishing of tourism elements.

December 25–27, 2016, a monitor tour was conducted
for students from Tsukuba University Komaba Junior Highand High School (Tokyo) and Nada Junior High and HighSchool (Hyogo) to reestablish educational tourism andreconstruct the Hamadori region.
Through the tour, the students deepened theirunderstanding of the true state of Fukushima and learned
how to take advantage of earthquake and nuclear
emergency training to improve the futures of Japan, theirregions, and themselves.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
After the disaster the number of offices has shown a declining trend. According to the industrial
production index which indicates the production situation for the manufacturing industry, levels have notyet recovered to pre-disaster conditions. There have also been employment mismatches occurring,depending on the type of occupation.
For the sustainable development of Fukushima industries, the prefecture will provide proactive support forthe continuation and resumption of small and medium sized companies, which are the core of the regional
economy. In addition, there are also efforts in place to secure employment opportunities, including
attracting business investment within the prefecture.

Development of hubs for research & development and industrial creation
For the revitalization and recovery of Fukushima, it is necessary not just to restore things to how they
were before the disaster, but create new, leading enterprises. Revitalization of the prefecture iscurrently being propelled by the development of hubs for R&D and industrial creation in a wide
variety of fields.

Fukushima has a target to produce enoughrenewable energy to supply 100% of theenergy demand in the prefecture by 2040.
This will be achieved by increasing renewableenergy adoption, and building hubs throughthe clustering and development of relevant
industries.

The prefecture is engaging in cooperation withoverseas partners to promote renewableenergy in Fukushima. In particular, Fukushima
Prefecture joined in a memorandum of
understanding with North Rhine-Westphalia,
Germany (NRW) in 2014 to promote businessexchange. Building upon that, the prefecture
concluded a memorandum of understanding tofurther deepen cooperation in the renewableenergy field with the NRW Environmental
Minister Remmel in January 2017, agreeing tostrengthen the support systems for companies
in Fukushima and NRW.
In addition, a meeting was held with state
officials, including NRW Governor Kraft, tostrengthen cooperation and deepen exchange
between Fukushima and NRW going forward.
In the future, we hope to take advantage ofthis network to provide strong support forcompanies in Fukushima as they expand sales
channels in Germany, throughout Europe, andaround the world.
