Five years ago on the 11th March, Japan was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 on the riktor scale, which created a tsunami down much of the cost.
As well as causing destruction and casualties all across the country, this natural disaster also hit the Daaichi nuclear power plant, causing a level-7 catastrophe – the equivalent of Chernobyl disaster.
These amazing photos show Tairatoyoma beach, siatuated near Daaichi nuclear power plant.
Despite the beach now falling in the radioactive area after the catastrophe, some surfers still paddle out to catch Tairatoyoma’s waves.
