Major coastal changes after M7.6 earthquake in Japan left 15 ports unusable, 58 damaged

According to state media reports on January 17, at least 15 ports have become unusable due to significant alterations in the coastal relief, which led to the coastline’s extension. The most dramatically transformed area is Wajima City, where the land elevation on the Noto Peninsula has increased by over 200 m (655 feet) from the sea, causing many ships to become stranded. #JapanQuake

Masaki Sato drove all night from his home 300 kilometres (190 miles) away in #Tokyo after the quake to check on the 85-year-old house that he has owned since 2017 and runs as a summer B&B.
