The city of Fukushima was abandoned in 2011 after an earthquake and tsunami triggered a nuclear meltdown in a local power plant.
  The earthquake and subsequent tsunami left 19,000 people dead or missing and triggered the world's largest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
In total 200,000 people were evacuated from the surrounding area with large swathes still classed as uninhabitable due to radiation.
