On July 1, 2024, following a 7.6 earthquake on New Year's Day in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, the Noto Peninsula was severely affected, causing massive soil liquefaction in nearby Niigata and Toyama prefectures. Six months after the disaster, due to severe earthquake damage and slow rebuilding progress in the region, over 2,000 people are still stranded in shelters. The cityscape remains desolate, with growing loneliness among elderly residents, prompting the government to establish a special task force to accelerate urban reconstruction efforts.
