Sanriku-Fukko(Reconstruction) National Park Natureʼs bounties and wrath: A symbol of reconstruction and coexistence between people and nature Sanriku Fukko (Reconstruction) National Park was established in May 2013 to contribute to the reconstruction of the Sanriku region, which (reconstruction) was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. The park extends from north to south for approximately 250 km. Sanriku-Fukko The northern part, also known as the "Alps of the Ocean," features dynamic cliffs, while the southern part offers beautiful ria coasts with 05 a complex topography. The coast serves as a breeding ground for seabirds such as the black-tailed gull and streaked shearwater, and is also a habitat for a diverse collection of maritime plants that have adapted to the unique coastal environment. Visitors have countless National Park opportunities to observe wildlife up close. The park is home to some of Japan's leading fishing ports, including Hachinohe, Miyako, Kamaishi, Ofunato, and Kesennuma, and fixed nets are set on the ocean. A multitude of floating rafts for farming oysters and scallops, and buoys for farming wakame seaweed are placed in the ria coastal bay area located in the southern part of the park, offering visitors a chance to enjoy scenes of everyday life in a fishing community. The Tanesashi Coast is covered by a vast grassland that has been maintained through horse grazing and other human activities. This national park is unlike any other in Japan as it was created for the purpose of demonstrating reconstruction from a natural disaster, and people from all over the country visit this park to learn about disaster prevention. ■Access Misawa Airport Aomori Airport Hachinohe Station Aomori Prefecture Tanesashi Kaigan Station Owani JR Hachinohe Station Line Odate Ninohe Station Station Kuji Station Iwate Kitayamazaki Prefecture Sanriku Railway Akita Fudai Station Rias Line Prefecture Tohoku Shinkansen Morioka Station Miyako Station Jodogahama JR Yamada Line Hachinohe Station Ninohe Station Shin-Hanamaki Station Iwate Hanamaki Morioka Station Airport Shin-Hanamaki Station Ichinoseki Station Sendai Station JR Kamaishi Line Kamaishi Station Tokyo Station The southeast view Sakari Station from the summit of Mt.

  • Importance of the Inherited Memories of Great Tsunami Disasters in Natural Disaster Reduction
    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan IMPORTANCE OF THE INHERITED MEMORIES OF GREAT TSUNAMI DISASTERS IN NATURAL DISASTER REDUCTION Akenori SHIBATA Professor Emeritus, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The two gigantic tsunamis, the 869 Jogan tsunami and the 1611 Keicho tsunami, which had attacked the Sendai plain prior to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake/ tsunami, are reflected. Pioneering works in the historical field by Mr. Y. Iinuma and in the scientific field by Prof. K. Minoura are introduced. To mitigate the damages by natural disaster, the knowledge on the past natural disasters occurred in an area should be properly shared by the people in that area. Necessity of the continued education on disaster reduction in schools and in regional societies is pointed out. Key Words: Great East Japan earthquake, Jogan tsunami, Keicho tsunami, disaster mitigation, disaster education INTRODUCTION The gigantic tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake gave enormous disaster to the wide coastal areas from Aomori Pref. to Ibaragi Pref. on the Pacific Ocean. The damages to Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Pref. were especially large. The Sanriku ria coast areas in Iwate and in northern Miyagi have been exposed to frequent attack of large tsunamis and the people in those areas have been quite aware of tsunami disasters. On the other hand, the long flat coasts in southern Miyagi and in Fukushima had few experience of large tsunami in these several hundred years, by which reason very few people there had expected the attack of tsunami before the gigantic tsunami of 2011.

  • Summit Report (English).Pdf
    Introduction The High School Students Summit on “World Tsunami Awareness Day” in Kuroshio was held for two days starting on November 25 of last year in Kuroshio Town, Kochi. It was the first time this type of summit was held in the world, and a total of 739 people, including 361 high school students from 30 countries, Minister in charge of Building National Resilience and Minister of State for Disaster Management, and ambassadors from various countries, participated in the summit. The summit was successfully brought to a close thanks to the support and cooperation of many parties, especially the authorities and organizations involved. In the summit, the participating high school students were organized into three groups, each with a different area of focus, namely “learning about natural disasters,” “preparing for natural disasters,” and “recovering from natural disasters.” Each group made a presentation on the measures that are being implemented in their respective countries. After the presentations, the students engaged in a discussion. The students also participated in a tsunami evacuation drill, which involved evacuating to high ground, and visited a tsunami evacuation tower. Through such activities, the students learned about what the Kochi Prefectural Government and the Kuroshio Municipal Government are doing to prepare for a Nankai Trough earthquake. These activities were followed by an active discussion on issues that were brought up in the presentations concerning the wonderful measures that are being implemented in each country. The discussion resulted in the adoption of the Kuroshio Declaration, which was based on the consensus of the participants. The declaration expressed the determination of the students to do everything in their power to protect the precious lives of as many people as possible from natural disasters, such as a tsunami, while inheriting the responsibility for passing on previous generations’ vision for disaster mitigation and risk reduction to future generations.
