Toshi, 93, and Kinjiro Ide, 97, have chosen to live out their lives at their home in the village of Kawauchi, Fukushima Prefecture, where evacuated residents are still hesitant to return due to the radioactive threat from the nearby nuclear plant catastrophe.
The entire village was evacuated shortly after the March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami hit the Tohoku region, leading to three reactor meltdowns at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 power station.
The couple took shelter in the home of their third son and his wife in Tochigi Prefecture.
