2011 Japan Tsunami - Shimoakka Fishing Port. (Full Footage)

Video footage recorded by Katsuo Sawaguchi. Upscaled video quality and doubled FPS. The video was recorded from the Shimoakka-oohashi bridge where National Route 45 and the Akka River intersect. Mr. Sawaguchi came to the bridge after the earthquake. After low tide, the arrival of the first tsunami is shown by drastic changes in the wave height. In the far north, over Noda Bay towards the Kuji city, the camera captures huge waves breaking on the shoreline in the distance. When the camera points towards the port, large waves approach it. On the south side of the harbor, the waves roll up the embankment. The big wave comes ashore with great force and crashes into the harbor. All the fishing boats that were in the port are washed away. Mr. Sawaguchi stops the recording and evacuates to a nearby hill. Taking refuge, he once again begins to record the state of the town. The days after the tsunami, Mr Sawaguchi records the damage occurred in the Noda area. Another video recorded fro
