The Oshika Peninsula was the closest part of Honshu (mainland) to the epicentre of the earthquake on 3.11, the closest parts of its eastern coastline approximately 72 km (45 miles) away. A report on March 14 indicated that 1,000 bodies had washed ashore on the peninsula. The March 11 earthquake shifted Oshika Peninsula by 5.3m (17 ft) towards the epicentre and lowered it by 1.2m (3.9 ft).
You don't need much explanation if you see the video I took from the bus.
The scenery was overwhelming- this was totally another world.
I couldn't hold my camera without shaking, since the road was really bumpy.
At this stage there is not much we (general public) can do with the land- very dangerous.
Most of the houses were washed away, leaving debris.
The army was everywhere, working to stop seawater from flooding the town and collecting the rubble.
You wouldn't imagine this used be a residential area.
