Higashimatsushima, Coastal city in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
The city extends along Matsushima Bay and the Pacific Ocean, covering 101 square kilometers of land with residential areas and agricultural fields.
The city emerged from the merger of Naruse and Yamoto towns in 2005, following centuries of settlement dating back to the Jomon period.
The 3.11 Disaster Recovery Memorial Museum preserves photographs, artifacts, and testimonies from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake for future generations.
Visitors can reach the city via the JR Senseki Line, with multiple stations providing access to different districts and the memorial park.
The former Nobiru Station maintains its tsunami-damaged rail tracks and pillars as physical evidence of the natural forces that transformed the city.
