Japan - Return to Kawauchi, tsunami ghost town

Uploaded by on Mar 8, 2012
Kawauchi used to be a thriving village of some 3,000 people until a nuclear meltdown at the nearby Fukushima No.1 power plant caused by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami forced villagers to leave in their droves. One year on roads are deserted, houses stand empty and shops are closed. Nobody wants to go back home.
