In this paper, we describe tsunami damages and lithofacies of the tsunami deposits caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake in the Soma region, Fukushima Prefecture, northeast Japan. We found evidence in support of numerous previous studies on tsunami deposits in the area and also report characteristics that have not yet been well-documented. Thickness of the silt layer, which is formed during the stagnant phase after the tsunami run-up, may reflect local relief well. Although further verification is required, description of tsunami deposits at Turishihama Beach indicates the existence of one of the very few run-up tsunami deposits around the shoreline.}, pages = {1--10}, title = {Report on the Tsunami Deposits Caused by the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake in the Soma Region, Fukushima Prefecture, Northeast Japan}, year = {2012} }
