Japan is facing significant recovery challenges after the New Year earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula, with estimated damage costs reaching up to ¥2.6 trillion ($17 billion). The government has allocated over ¥150 billion from its fiscal 2023 budget reserve to aid victims. To prevent crime in quake-hit areas, Japan is installing 1,000 security cameras. Go Nagai and his company are donating ¥20 million to his earthquake-affected hometown of Wajima in Ishikawa Prefecture. The Yomiuri Shimbun and its affiliate charity have raised over ¥100 million for relief efforts. A tsunami with a maximum run-up height of 5.8 meters in Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture, was recorded, and a 3-meter wave reached a nuclear plant. Noto Airport has resumed commercial flights, aiding the transport of residents and volunteers. The earthquake also damaged Wajima lacquerware workshops, vital to Japan's craft heritage.
