During my time in Tohoku we visited several places.  One in particular really stood out to me.  The town of Otsuchi was 80-90% destroyed.  What was not destroyed in the earthquake or tsunami was destroyed in a fire which followed the disasters.  My first day in that area was at the base of a mountain.  [...]
