Futaba-gun ( Japanese. 双 葉 郡 ) is a district ( gun ) in Fukushima prefecture , Tōhoku region , Japan .

The district was formed on April 1, 1896 from the amalgamation of the Shineha-gun ( 標葉郡 ) and the Naraha-gun ( 楢葉郡 ). This is where the name "two" ( 双 ) 葉 comes from .

Its communities include: Futaba , Hirono , Katsurao , Kawauchi , Namie , Naraha , Ōkuma and Tomioka .

Since the nuclear disaster in Fukushima , the district has been largely within the 30 km evacuation and exclusion zone, so that the entire administration and population had to be evacuated to other communities in the prefecture or neighboring prefecture. Specifically, these were: from Futaba to Kazo in Saitama prefecture , from Hirono to Iwaki , from Katsurao to Aizubange , from Kawauchi and Tomioka to Kōriyama , from Namie to Nihonmatsu , from Naraha to Aizumisato , and from Ōkuma to Aizu-Wakamatsu .
