Bracketed by the Ōu Mountains to the west, the Abukuma Highlands to the east, and the Abukuma River flowing from south to north, Fukushima-shi sits within the Fukushima Basin in the central northeast region of Fukushima Prefecture. As the capital city of the prefecture, Fukushima-shi has a long and storied history dating back to ancient Japan.
Today Fukushima-shi has the 3rd highest population in Fukushima Prefecture and has an economy that includes agriculture, industry, and goods and services. Fruit cultivation is particularly notable in Fukushima-shi and the city is known for its apple, cherry, peach, and pear orchards that have earned it its nickname of “Fruit Kingdom”. Finding an apartment for rent in this vibrant city allows you to enjoy its thriving pulse of life, while still being in proximity to the beautiful nature and countryside of the surrounding Fukushima Prefecture.
On the search for cheap room or apartment rentals in Fukushima-shi? While the cost of an apartment is important, you should also consider your needs and preferences for daily living. This may include the apartment’s distance or proximity to your workplace, school, railway stations, or other city amenities such as hospitals and banks. Ideally you should hope to find an apartment with a very reasonable rental rate that is still near key amenities, facilities, or transport options.
