In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami damaged and destroyed much of the Tohoku coast, including the city of Kamaishi, killing an estimated 20,000 in the region. Along the coast of Iwate Prefecture, reconstruction efforts are still very much evident, and it is impossible to visit the area without acknowledging, with some emotion, the effects of the combined disasters. With that somber reminder, it is still possible to find special pockets worth visiting, including some of the reconstruction efforts and memorials to the earthquake. Don’t expect easy, or particularly relaxing, travels in the region, but with consideration for the locals and the area’s recovery, it is a unique part of Japan to visit. (@oscar.boyd photos)

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

ozojiichan It would be important to add the perspective that local people would not generally feel intruded upon by foreign visitors so long as those visitors don't behave in an intrusive manner, and that in fact sensitive tourism to the region can only enhance recovery through, to be honest, the spending of tourist dollars (well, yen, but you know what I mean, hehe) 💖💵💴
