仙台市宮城野区の沿岸部、南蒲生地区。
その海側に位置する南蒲生浄化センターが壁となり、津波の力を弱めたことで、津波の高さは1階天井近くまで達しながらも家屋は流失を免れた。そのため、多くの家が現地再建できたという。

The Minamigamou area lies along the coast of Miyagino-ku, Sendai. The Minamigamou Purification Center acted like a wall, lessening the impact of the tsunami. Consequently, the tsunami reached just under ground-floor ceiling height and many houses were saved. It’s said that many families were able to rebuild on the same site because of this.
