What we want to tell through the experiences of BOSAI Tourism Contents

Comprehension of the threat of the urban tsunami, the situation of damage, and how to act when a tsunami is coming.
A part of Tagajo City of Miyagi Prefecture faces Sendai port, and the urban area is also close to the sea. However, because Sendai harbor is mostly used as a trade port, the trunk road, as well as the industrial area obstructs residents view and the sea is not visible. Therefore, awareness of the tsunami reaching was low, and many people lost their lives.
