Nabeichi / 日本各地の風景 Scenery across Japan さん お返事感謝致します。 津波の被害は最小限に抑えられました……との事で良かったですね。 せやけど、大変でしたね。 名前は忘れましたが、ある中学は大学教授を講師に防災訓練をしっかりと行ってた為助かったが、 それをしてない学校は被害に遭ったと聞いた事があります。。 防災訓練も地域を挙げて子供の時からしっかりと行うのも大切ですね。

Thank you for such a nice video. It’s a sight for sore eyes after watching so many videos of the destruction. I’m so glad to see a village that was left intact. The former mayor is a true hero for saving so many lives after his death! Much love and respect from Texas, USA.

Thank you from Texas. I just recently saw the news that a tsunami evacuation tower was built on the west coast of the United States. I want the knowledge about correct tsunami disaster prevention to spread all over the world.
It’s so wonderful to see a coastal village that is still intact after the tsunami. It’s almost like a time capsule to be honest. I’m surprised that they don’t get more visitors considering how famous their sea wall and village have become. I hope the former Mayor (God rest his soul) and his family are very proud of his legacy! Thank you for posting and translating this fascinating video.

In the summer of 2011, I ran a car along the 600km coast where the tsunami was badly damaged, but Fudai Village was the only village where all the private houses were protected from the huge tsunami by the seawall. Many videos of the 2011 tsunami were left, so I think it will be useful for disaster mitigation in the future.

Nabeichi / 日本各地の風景 Scenery across Japan Is it a realistic possibility for the government to consider erecting more off these structures along the coastline across the country where villages and even cities are exposed to the sea, and is it something that’s maybe been thought off in the past?
@nabeichi4 жыл бұрын
@@paulmccormack5524 All coastlines in Japan can be hit by a tsunami. However, the construction of seawalls gives priority to areas with high population. Currently, priority is given to the construction of tsunami evacuation towers and the evacuation of tall buildings to the 4th floor and above rather than the construction of seawalls.

The settlement of this village was not damaged by the tsunami. However, the population of this area is declining. Especially young people have left this village in search of work in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Thank you for watching this video from England. Countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and Thailand are on the left side. I was nervous on the first day when I went to a country with right-hand traffic. The area near Japan in Russia is on the right side, but most of the cars running in the city are used Japanese cars. So the driver's seat of those cars is on the right. Japan is one of the countries with many natural disasters, so I also stockpile food and batteries. The furniture in my house is also fixed to the wall of the room so that it will not fall over in an earthquake.
Thanks for sharing your video. No one is complaining now about this wall being too tall are they? The mayor knew what he was doing was the right thing. I am truly sorry Japan and its people having this tragedy happen to them, and so many innocent lives lost. I think the people of Japan are the most resilient people on the planet. ✌🏻

Until the huge tsunami on March 11, 2011, the villagers were chilly on the high embankment. However, the villagers are grateful to the old village head who promoted the construction of the embankment because the high embankment protected the village from the tsunami. This area has the most tsunami disasters in Japan, and has been hit by huge tsunamis four times in 150 years. The 1960 magnitude 9.5 megathrust earthquake in Chile also caused great tsunami damage in the area.

They'll always say "It's a waste of money" and then if the mayor did not build the seawall, the locals would be saying "the mayors did not do their best to protect us" or similar nuances. There is no pleasing people. You only have your knowledge and logic to believe in and the ends justify the means for all the lives saved. May he forever rest in peace.

The story of Fudai, it's Mayor and his sea wall is very inspiring to me. It's sad that he was not alive when the Tsunami struck. How proud he would have been: Standing on top of his flood gate as it defended his village of the tsunami he knew would come sooner or later. Well, maybe he was there, as a very proud spirit. He knew all the time that he did the right thing.

The huge tsunami that occurred in the Indian Ocean in 2004 left many images of the tsunami for the first time in history. In the huge tsunami on March 11, 2011, far more images of the tsunami were recorded and watched by people all over the world. It is still being watched 10 years later. Many images will be useful for future disaster mitigation. Countries on the Pacific coast are always at risk of tsunami.

The huge tsunami of March 2011 did not cause damage to the private houses in Fudai Village. However, there are many areas in Japan where tsunami countermeasures are still insufficient.
The longterm Mayor of Fudai was criticised for wanting to raise the original seawall from 10 metres to 15.5 metres. There was considerable opposition to his plan, but as he remembered the last tsunami that had wiped out the village in 1933 he was certain that better defences would be needed to protect the village from future destruction! He pressed through with his planned defences which went on to save the village in 2011, after which many residents visited his grave to lay tributes to his foresight and genuine love for his village and its people. This was the only sea defence on the coast which saved the communities they were intended to protect, every other (smaller) seawall was breached with horrific consequences for the communities.

Many people are now visiting Fudai Village. Since the 2011 tsunami, the Japanese have changed their way of thinking about natural disasters. However, Japan is a country with many natural disasters. Escaping from dangerous places is our top priority. Huge seawalls have been built in many places, but it will take a lot of time. Many parts of Japan are preparing for volcanic disasters and large earthquakes.
