Fukushima-ku is known for its lively dining scene around Fukushima Station, where small restaurants on winding streets serve a variety of typical Japanese food and international cuisines. There are also plenty of laid-back izakayas and Tachinomi standing bars. The Dojima River Forum contains an event hall, an art gallery, and cafes, while a popular sightseeing cruise departs from nearby Fukushima (Hotarumachi) pier.
