Fukushima Prefecture: Rooftops Islands and Suimoncho Neighbourhood

fukushima prefecture: In the east of the city, whole neighbourhoods were left submerged, according to The Independent. All that could be seen, as rescuers began their recovery efforts last weekend, were the rooftops islands of grey and iron-brown beneath a subdued sky. For Koriyama, an industrial hub in Fukushima Prefecture, the flooding had been extensive. Typhoon Hagibis, one of the strongest storms to hit in decades, has left its mark on Japan. In the Suimoncho neighbourhood, a compact network of worn, wooden homes that sits on the city's river banks, one of their own was among that count. Five lives were lost in Koriyama.
