Take a virtual journey on the Kesennuma Line, the East Japan Railway (JR) local line that runs up the coast in Miyagi Prefecture.  It was severely damaged or – in some cases – completely destroyed during the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.  This video was filmed in 2009 with the last stop being Utatsu, where reconstruction is currently underway in conjunction with the community.
