A massive earthquake magnitude 9.0 occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11th March 2011 with the epicenter approx. 70 km east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tohoku. It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan. The earthquake triggered tsunami waves up to 40.5m travelling up to 10km inland. As is obvious from the data plot the tide gauge site was badly effected. The data following the tsunami is flagged.

Documentation added 2022-04-05

Following review of data affected by the Tōhoku earthquake of 2011, all data has been flagged as good as GSI have recommenced levelling at the site. The station flag has been set to indicate the record needs to be treated with care, but the data appears to accurately reflect the earthquake's ongoing effect on local relative sea level.
