| The remaining evacuees from Miyake Island stare at the island's landscape from a Tokyo-bound ferry Monday afternoon. |
The last 406 remaining residents of Miyake left the volcanic island on Monday and were expected to arrive at a Tokyo pier later Monday night.
Some 400 village officers and other workers will remain on the island as emergency personnel.
The last group of residents boarded the Sutoretia Maru ferry at around 2:50 p.m. on Monday bound for Takeshiba Pier in Tokyo's Minato Ward.
