Nobiru Station

This was Nobiru Station.

On March the 11th 2011, the tsunami that devastated the Tohoku region of Japan reached 3.7m when it hit this station. The railway staff, and a handful of passengers that had arrived on a train just moments before, managed to escape up the roof.

The destruction all around was simply unbelievable.

Over a decade on, the remains of the platforms have been preserved and the station building now houses a museum which details the effect of the disaster on the local area.

It was certainly a very sobering place to visit.
