Episode Details

Just south of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant lies the town of Tomioka, where residents were ordered to evacuate following the triple meltdown in 2011. Those orders have now mostly been lifted, but as people return, they've been saddened to find the town’s colorful azalea bushes were removed during decontamination work. One young man has made it his mission to revive the symbolic blossoms in Tomioka and bring back the joy of spring.
