Multiple web search results confirm the timing and general sentiment described. One result explicitly mentions '15 years since the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan,' and another references the general aftermath of the disaster, corroborating the claim that the area is still dealing with the aftermath of a major nuclear disaster that occurred around that timeframe.

One web search result directly quotes the claim, stating, 'In Fukushima, officials prefer to call it “hope tourism”, as the lifting of evacuation orders in surrounding municipalities has opened the way for package tours.' This is supported by another web search result discussing the lifting of evacuation orders and social support in the area, indicating the context of tourism and resettlement.

The claim is strongly supported by multiple sources. Wikipedia confirms the disaster occurred at the TEPCO-operated Fukushima Daiichi Plant following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Furthermore, web search results reference TEPCO's ongoing involvement in the 'Decommissioning Project' and 'recovery operations,' linking the company's future actions (economic revival) to the cleanup process and its reputation.
