In the danger zone


During our trip to the North we came back through Fukushima and Minamisoma. On the coast in the the big towns they have tidies up a lot a lot. However all along the coast there are small communities completely devastated and much left to tidy up.



Abandoned houses and empty ruined greenhouses. Particularly strange as Japanese farms are normally spotlessly tidy.

Peoples businesses no more.
This used to be a  large area of houses.









The road block South of Minamisoma at the lmit of the no-go zone.


Earthqauke damage. This large town of about 15,000 completely abandonned to escape the radiation. No time to repair or tidy up. There are still things on the shelves of the shops and everything left untouched. This being Japan of course ..no looters.



The ten of thousands survivors of all this are living in temprary housing, families in a single room.
