Sanriku: Lives Intertwined with the Sea
The Sanriku Coastal Region experienced severe damage due to the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake's resulting tsunami. On Journeys in Japan, Jessica Claros visits recovering areas along the Sanriku coastline in northeastern Japan. Her first stop is Ishinomaki, the Miyagi Prefecture's 2nd largest city. She visits a fish market to learn a little about the local fisheries and enjoy fresh seafood. She hires a taxi to go around the affected area in Ishinomaki and sees firsthand how the post-disaster reconstruction is progressing 3 years after that unforgettable day. Next, Jessica heads by train and bus to the hard hit town of Minamisanriku. There she finds accommodation at a family-run inn. She gets close to the Sanriku lifestyle through her encounters with local people living in harmony with the sea.
