Toyama Prefecture

Hulu.And Japan learned the hard way.

Around 1912, in the Toyama prefecture, one of the 47 divisions of Japan, just downstream of Jinzu River, some of the population started exhibiting severe pain in their spine and joints.

It mostly targeted women with pain all over their bodies.

Sometimes they would be doing menial things, and they would suddenly break a bone.

We're awful.

In the Toyama Prefecture, legends speak of a malevolent curse where fishing boats travelling towards Hokkaido are fundamentally corrupted, turning into funerary mid-voyage and driving the entire crew to hang themselves.

Oh my god.

I need to know if there's a TV show or a movie based on that because I would watch the fuck out of that.

Miyata heads a group that promotes forestry and regional revitalization.

On August 27, he brought water pumps and other equipment to aid recovery efforts in Hakui and Ishikawa Prefecture and Hime and Toyama Prefecture, both hit by record rainfall.

I had just bought a vacuum machine to remove mud and plan to take it to Hime today, but it looks like I may have to use it here instead, he said.

Record rainfall from the night of August 29 through the morning of August 30 caused 22 rivers to overflow, leaving homes, businesses and roads underwater across Fukui Prefecture.

People are still busy with recovery efforts on Friday after record-breaking rainfall.

In Himi City, Toyama Prefecture, more than 250 houses were flooded, and over a dozen households were without power.

Meanwhile, heavy rain caused trees to fall and triggered landslides in Hakui City, Ishikawa Prefecture.

This left 54 people isolated, but no injuries had been reported as of Friday morning.
