I presume you mean how far INLAND did the tsunami travel before stopping or retreating.

That would depend on the topography ( look it up!!) of the affected area and the power contained in the wave at the point of striking the shoreline. In other words, the closer to the earthquake centre, generally the bigger and more dangerous the wave.

Additionally

It was reported that the 33ft (10m) Tsunami wave triggered on March 11, 2011 off the coast of Japan made it 6 miles (10 kilometers) inland with washed up debris and water reaching distances of 10 miles or more inland.
