A few days back I wrote a bit about some interesting places in Iwate, Japan that I had visited. I hadn't intended originally on including Kesenumma, but as I wrote I thought about it and included it. I thought today I would provide some reference with a couple of YouTube videos on the tsunami and Kesennuma.
Japan's Iwate Prefecture offers some really interesting and different kinds of places to visit - from hardened lava below Mount Iwate to an abandoned mining town. Today I also talk a little about the town of Kesenumma which was badly hit by the 2011 tsunami.

And as always I will finish with a few recommendations on what to see and where to go in incredible Japan! Thanks for joining me!

She's also a mum, and has that in mind in many instances when she blogs.
