Residents in the Shidayachi district in Osaki, Miyagi Prefecture, who were affected by last October’s typhoon are facing a decision over whether to rebuild their ruined properties or to relocate.
Due to Typhoon Hagibis, 185 households in the district were flooded.
Although the damaged houses are now starting to be demolished, more and more people are considering living elsewhere, as they are anxious over the possibility of floods hitting the area again in the future.
