The Yoshihama area of Ofunato City was relocated to higher ground after the Meiji Sanriku Tsunami. For this reason, residential areas in the Yoshihama area were not damaged by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Guided by a local fisherman who has lived here, you will be able to tour the disaster area as seen from the sea.
learning effect
By learning how fishermen who use the ocean as their workplace have overcome past tsunamis, we can use this as an opportunity to think about how to deal with natural disasters effectively.
