INVASION OF TSUNAMI THROUGH SMALL RIVER MOUTHS AND SEVERAL ACCESS WAYS -THE EXAMPLE OF KUJUKURI BEACH-

Abstract

 On March 11, 2011, a great earthquake occurred off the northeast Japan's coast, and a great tsunami generated by this earthquake attacked the Pacific coasts. On Kujukuri Beach, tsunami invaded through small river mouths and several access ways between the inland and the shoreline, causing severe damages. These phenomena were investigated at the Yasashi River mouth flowing into the Iioka coast and the Hasunuma and Ichinomiya coasts.
