Nuclear power plants need to be near an ocean, a major river, or a lake, because they need a source of cooling water. This cooling water is used to condense steam back to water to continue the nuclear steam supply cycle, and to remove residual heat from the power plant.
There are two Fukushima power plants. Both are in the prefecture of Fukushima, Japan. The plant you have in mind is probably the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which experienced a series of meltdowns after an earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. The other is the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant.
