The biggest tsunami in Japan's history occurred on March 11, 2011, following a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the northeastern coast. This tsunami reached heights of up to 40.5 meters (133 feet) in some areas and caused widespread devastation, particularly in the Tōhoku region. The disaster resulted in thousands of deaths, significant destruction of infrastructure, and a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. It remains one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in Japan's history.
