Odaka (小高町, Odaka-machi) was a town located in Sōma District, Fukushima, Japan.
As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 13,482 and a density of 146.62 persons per km2. The total area was 91.95 km2.[1]
On January 1, 2006, Odaka, along with the city of Haramachi, and the town of Kashima (also from Sōma District), was merged to create the city of Minamisōma.
In 2011, Odaka, along with other towns in the area near Fukushima, underwent a nuclear meltdown. Three reactors melted in Fukushima after an undersea earthquake sent a very destructive tsunami crashing into the coastline. [2]
