| In many places settlement is on a very narrow piece of flat land with mountains directly behind. |
 |
| Checking nets takes a lot of co-operation |
 |
| A lot of activity at a little fishing port on the coast side of the tsunami gates |
 |
| Lots of little boats |

| I've already posted this pic - but these are tsunami gates for the village above. With 10-12 metre waves they wouldn't hvae been nearly high enough. I am not sure how much damage this village sustained - sadly, nor do I remember the name of it. |

Is this another kind of tsunami gate"

This was on the Tanesashi cloast north of Taneichi last summer.
It is definitely a tsunami gate. But also doubles as keeping out high tides as well. (I needed to do a double check on Taneichi). There are more tsunami gates on the Pacific side - probably more prone to higher tides. I came by this yesterday which I found quite interesting. I am quite interested in the efficacy of the tsunami gates.
