                  Levees are almost complete on the coast of the northeastern Japan city of Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, on March 9, 2017, almost six years after the area was devastated by a massive tsunami following a magnitude 9.0-earthquake. A pine tree -- known as the "miracle pine" for being a single spindly survivor among a grove of 70,000 trees that had lined the city's beach for centuries -- can be seen in this photo taken with a drone.

                    A classroom of an elementary school in the northeastern Japan town of Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, remains unchanged on March 9, 2017, since the time a magnitude 9.0-earthquake struck the region almost six years ago on March 11, 2011, prompting pupils to evacuate without their belongings. Kyodo News obtained permission from the town authorities to enter the school as the area remains a no-go zone due to radiation leaks from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant triggered by a massive tsunami that followed the quake.
