Sega World Tomioka (セガワールド 富岡) was a former Japanese Sega World venue. It closed on March 11, 2011 due the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and [[ of 2011. Although originally closed for repairs from the hit of the earthquake, the arcade never reopened after the accident. [1] The arcade is within the Red Zone implemented by the Japanese Government as to where heavy radiation lies and is not accessible to the general public; this in which ultimately forced the arcade's closure and due to extensive damage to the building, it remained standing deteriorating, rusting and falling apart beyond repair. The branch and town overall were ultimately left abandoned due to radiation, this deemed the arcade games left behind in the venue unsalvageable. However, the Japanese Government has since reopened many areas, and in November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in which has forced the closure of many shops, arcades and restaurants, it was finally dismantled, except the Komeri. It is now a vacant lot and many parts of the building, including the "SEGASONIC" logo on the front, arcade games left inside and fallen debris have most likely been destroyed due to being radiated.
