Japan - One year on

Today marks the first anniversary of the terrible earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last year, followed by the nuclear crisis at Fukushima.

It's about 2 years since our last visit to Japan.

Coincidentally, our last trip was to the Tohoku region, north-eastern area of Japan, where the earthquake and tsunami hit.

It is sad that such a beautiful region should be hit by such tragedy.

It'd be some time before The Husband and I would be able to visit Japan again though.

Hopefully, by then, these places and their people would be well on their way in building a new future.
