At 2:46 p.m. on March 11, 2011, the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the country struck off the northeastern coast of Japan. It was followed by a devastating tsunami. The coastal areas of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures were among the hardest hit. In Fukushima, the disaster was compounded by severe damage to nuclear power reactors. The recovery from this crisis continues even now.
The Fukushima March 11 Memorial Park was created as a place to mourn and pray for the victims, to preserve the memories and lessons of the disaster, and to communicate the story of ongoing revitalization efforts to the world. It stands as both a site of remembrance and a symbol of determination for the future.
