Minami-Sanriku: The Story of a Hero



This building is all that is left of Minami-Sanriku's disaster prevention center. Despite knowing that the tsunamis were heading towards the city 24 year old Miki Endo kept warning the citizens of the danger through the community broadcast system until the very end. Many lives were saved because of her efforts, and the building has been left standing as a memory of her braveness. 

RIP.
