Six years have passed since the Western Japan Heavy Rain Disaster occurred in July 2018. Normal life has returned thanks to restoration efforts by the national and prefectural governments. Dams were built upstream of the Sozu River and Myojin River, and restoration was apparently possible without any problems even with a disaster of this scale. The restoration work differed between the national and prefectural governments, and the rice field side was restored by the national government, and the soil and driftwood were completely removed the following year without any requests, making rice cultivation possible. However, the field side was left abandoned for four years, and restoration work was carried out by the prefecture, and although the rivers and roads were completely restored, the mudslides into the fields were not resolved, and requests from nearby residents were largely ignored, and restoration work was carried out according to the prefectural government's design, so I am still working to restore the function of the field.

 

Immediately after the disaster	As of July 15, 2024 (6 years from now)
My car is being washed away.
The Soto River above the radio hut overflowed, causing soil and driftwood to flow.
A mudslide from the Myojin River on the farm side washed away part of the field, the shed, and all the farm equipment.	He is currently restoring the field himself.
	There were two houses on either side, but they have been demolished and the lot is now vacant.
