Sendai city, Miyagi Prefecture

Sendai city is capital of Miyagi Prefecture and the largest city in Tohoku. Sendai is located in  the central part of Miyagi.

The day 11th March 2011, Miyagi was recognized worldwide. But unfortunately, there were not much of accurate information on the present status of Miyagi right after the disaster, so we think that a lot of foreigner in the world was difficult to get a handle on the situation. Despite we can get all informations from the Internet, they didn't know whether the informations (news) of the disaster is true or not, they went into a panic.

Tsunami hit the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, the largest earthquake in record history(M9.0) caused great damage to inland area too. This time, relative to the quake, the tsunami caused much heavier damage.

We'd like to explain about Sendai city a little. There are 5 wards (Aoba, Taihakuk, Wakabayashi, Izumi and Miyagino). Wakabayashi ward and Miyagino Ward faces the sea, there were big damage by tsunami.
