On the 6th, three years after the earthquake that killed 44 people after observing shaking with a seismic intensity of 7, the electronics store in Mukawa-cho, Hokkaido, which was damaged by the partial destruction of the store, was undergoing construction work to rebuild the store. started.
Mr. Tadami Shirata of Mukawa Town has been running the only electronics store in the town for many years, but the store was partially destroyed by the earthquake three years ago.
Approximately eight months after the earthquake, Mr. Shirata resumed operations at a temporary store set up by the town, but as the move-in deadline approaches the end of February next year, he received a new loan from a financial institution and moved to the same location. It means that we have decided to rebuild the store.
Construction work for reconstruction began on the 6th, and work was being carried out to level the site with a large construction machine.
Mr. Shirata said, "I think it's finally started. The population is declining and sales are declining, but if you give up, many people will be in trouble. It's really hard from now on, but I've been helped so far. I want to give back, "he said.
