The operator of Japan’s largest musical and audio equipment shopping site is working with the local community of Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture, to make the coastal town devastated by the March 2011 tsunami a music hub. Sound House — a company based in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, which operates an e-commerce site well known among music lovers — established its logistics center in the town and a showroom in Seapal-Pier Onagawa, a shopping street in front of Onagawa Station.
