About a year has passed since the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024, but the recovery of the affected areas is still lagging behind.
The main factors behind this are as follows:
1. Geographical factors and vulnerability of infrastructure
The Noto Peninsula has limited access to transportation, and the destruction of major roads has made it extremely difficult to transport supplies and provide support.
2. Labor shortages due to population decline and aging
The region's population is declining and aging, and there is a serious shortage of young people to take on the role.

Normally, in the case of such a large-scale disaster, a national reconstruction budget is prepared and Self-Defense Force rescue units are deployed.
Unfortunately, in the case of the Noto Peninsula earthquake, former Prime Minister Kishida did not prepare a special reconstruction budget right away.
He decided not to send the Self-Defense Forces.
As a result, the river banks remained damaged in the earthquake, and the victims of Noto entered summer and a typhoon arrived.
As a result, they suffered flood damage.
This secondary damage is clearly a government mistake.

Of course, the Japanese government has come under heavy criticism.
Moreover, during the same period, while saying that it could not allocate a budget for the reconstruction of the Noto Peninsula, Fumio Kishida promised several trillion yen in aid to Ukraine.
Elon Musk has exposed the activities of USAID and kickbacks in aid to Ukraine.
It seems that Fumio Kishida has also received huge kickbacks.
For these politicians, it seems that supporting Ukraine and getting huge kickbacks is more important than helping the Japanese people.

The opposition parties have not been very active in this disaster.
Even now, apart from a few opposition parties, there is no protest against the reconstruction of the Noto Peninsula.
Let me explain: even now, more than a year later, there are many areas where the water supply has not been restored.
Local governments do not have the money to spend on reconstruction.
Many elderly people survived the winter earthquake and tsunami and made it to evacuation centers.
However, more than 200 victims have died in evacuation centers.
If you ask me, they were practically murdered by the country.

In reality, the Japanese media should be reporting on the condition of the disaster area.
The Japanese mass media say that they cannot allocate a budget to the Noto Peninsula because it is a depopulated area, but they praise the aid to Ukraine.
And they don't report that politicians are receiving kickbacks from the aid money.
Look, whether Japan is a developed country is not determined by skyscrapers, industry, GDP, etc.
A country can be called a truly developed country by how well it can support people in a weaker position.
