Ghost town in Japan

It's been two years since the earthquake in Japan, the most powerful in the country's history. A large area around the nuclear power plant "Fukushima-1" is still a restricted area, whose inhabitants will never be able to return home.

Namie Town, located on the Pacific coast, famous for its picturesque views, forests and mountains. But the 21,000 residents were evacuated from here in 2011. People longing for his native land, turned to Google to show them what state is now in the city.

At the invitation of the local authorities' Google Street View project, which allows to see panoramic views of streets, I arrived in the Japanese city of Namie to former residents could see their abandoned houses, and all the others to feel the effects of a natural disaster.
