Japan commemorated the 15th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in nearly 20,000 deaths and the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.0, struck on March 11, 2011, leading to significant destruction and a nuclear meltdown. Reconstruction efforts have been ongoing, with major infrastructure completed and a focus on long-term recovery. Radiation levels in Fukushima have decreased, and communities are gradually reopening. Mental health support and tourism promotion are part of the recovery strategy, with gratitude expressed to the international community for their assistance.
