Imibiko yesixwayiso kungenzeka kube namagagasi angafika kumamitha amathathu (amafidi ayi-10) ukuphakama. Izakhamizi ziyalelwa ukuthi ziphume.
Isifunda saseFukushima sisenyakatho ye-Tokyo, ezwakele ukuzamazama komhlaba kwanamuhla namabhilidi anyakazayo. Lena indawo ye-Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant eyacekelwa phansi ngo-2011 yi-tsunami enamandla eyalandela ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu ogwini. Isikhungo senuzi sibheka izinguquko, kodwa kuze kube manje akukho okungajwayelekile okubikiwe futhi akukho shintsho emazingeni emisebe.
Kubikwe ukunqamuka kukagesi esifundeni saseFukushima naseNiigata, futhi iJapan Railways imise ukusebenza kwezitimela eziningana zezinhlamvu empumalanga yeJapane.
