The emissivity distribution of the JT-60U divertor plasmas has been studied with the bolometer diagnostics. Line integrated bolometer signals of 48 chords have been successfully mapped onto the JT-60U W-shaped divertor geometry. 2D radiation profiles provide an intuitive understanding of the experiments and comparison of experiment with simulation for divertor characterization. An extended region of the radiation along both divertor legs was found in ELMing H-mode discharges with line-average density of 3.7x10m. A highly radiative zone with an emissivity of around 15 MWm at the inboard side and around 8 MWm at outboard side has been identified to extend more than 10 cm from each target plate toward the x-point. About 70 % of the input neutral beam power, 11 MW, is dissipated as a divertor radiation in that region.
