Katsurao
7.1
High score (8-10)
Katsurao mountain village was partially in nuclear evacuation zones post-2011 but some zones were lifted relatively early. The village has active community boards working to rebuild local identity and any foreign visitor who shows genuine interest in the recovery story gets unusual engagement from residents who rarely interact with outsiders.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Katsurao's evacuation history disrupted the community in ways still playing out. Parts came out of evacuation status but population has not recovered to pre-disaster levels. The remaining community is resilient and self-conscious about rebuilding, which creates some unusual openness to outsiders showing genuine interest.
Lower score (below 6)
Katsurao has a population well under 2,000 and significant parts of its land area remain under radiation monitoring. The social fabric was shattered by the 2011 evacuation and has not fully reconstituted. There is no social infrastructure and the few residents who returned are mostly elderly.
