Tamura (田村市 Tamura-shi) is a city in the Fukushima Prefecture, in Honshu, Japan. Tamura was founded in 2005 as a result of a merger of several smaller towns and villages. Funehiki, Miyakoji, Ogoe, Takine, and Tokiwa all now exist as Tamura city. Tamura's sister city is Mansfield, Ohio.

あぶくま洞
A set of interconnected limestone caves. The popular, family-friendly tourist attraction remains relatively unknown to non-Japanese, despite being the largest in the Tohoku region.
入水洞 Irimizudō
Another cave, 6km away from Abukumado Cave. This undeveloped cave is for the hard-core adventurer. Its 3 interconnected courses follow a 10°C stream as its snakes its way through darkness. The water height is rarely higher than your ankles and not swift. Water drips from the ceiling so raincoats may be a good idea. A hard hat with light is highly recommended.
ムシムシランド
A rhinoceros beetle theme park.
An Ancient Sakura (cherry tree)
The Banetsu East (磐越東, Ban-etsu-to, or Ban-to) Line from Koriyama makes stops in Kanameta, Funehiki, Iwaki-tokiwa, Ogoe, Sugaya, and Kammata within Tamura city.
