Tokyo and Sendai.

No. During the giant earthquake and Tsunami in Miyagi prefecture where Sendai is in, Hiroshima didn't shake even a little. I will take about 10~15hours by car, and about 7~10 by the Shinkansen (Bullet Train).
Off the coast of Sendai, a city in North-Eastern Japan.

It started in the Pacific ocean where the epicenter( where they start) is. it spreaded west to Fukushima and Sendai first.
The tsunami triggered from Japan's earthquake originated off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula, Tōhoku near Sendai, Japan. This tsunami traveled over half the globe across the Pacific Ocean. The first waves hit Hawaii about 9 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) Friday and traveled across the Pacific from Alaska to Chile.To see the global extent of the Japan Tsunami you should see this amazing animation showing how the tsunami traveled. This video clip was created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) along with a Google Earth KML model.NOAA's Tsunami Wave Height Model visualization estimates the wave heights of the tsunami originating from the devastating earthquake which struck Japan on 11th March 2011.See related links below for the animation, KML, and more information.
