The Former Takata Matsubara Roadside Station Tappic45 stands as a preserved relic of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, located within the Takata Matsubara Tsunami Reconstruction Memorial Park. While the interior is inaccessible, visitors can observe the exterior and witness the devastating impact of the tsunami, with visible watermarks and debris. The site serves as a poignant reminder of the disaster and a testament to the area's resilience. Adjacent to the new Roadside Station Takata Matsubara and close to the Miracle Pine Tree, it offers a sobering yet important experience for those reflecting on the events of the earthquake and tsunami. Visit during the afternoon to allow time to explore the surrounding memorial park.
