On July 3, 2021, heavy rain triggered a mudslide involving some 55,500 cubic meters of earth and sand, which destroyed over a hundred houses and other buildings, killing 28 people.
On the 3rd, five years after the massive mudslide in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which claimed the lives of 28 people, the city held a memorial service in the affected Izusan district. Fifty people attended, including 28 bereaved family members. At the ceremony, Mayor Sakae Saito stated, "To ensure that the same tragedy never happens again, we will work with all our might to create a safe and secure community."
