I'm looking for data on people moving in and out of Miyagi prefecture,and Ishinomaki City in particular, before and after the Tohoku disaster of March 2011. I want to find out who is migrating into Miyagi and Ishinomaki, and why. Where to find raw numbers would be good, plus any published research on the issue would be very helpful, thanks.
Hi Peter,
I think the right place to go is Statistics Japan, also called Statistics Bureau of Japan (http://www.stat.go.jp/english/index.htm). At the website http://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/idou/3.htm, there are several internal migration reports as well as other information that may help you.
All the best in your research.

Hi Peter, you may find it in Japan Statistical year book. Please have a look at the following links that may be useful for you:

Hello Peter
In addition to the databases suggested I would recommend revising:
"Predicting Future Migration Destinations from Natural Disasters: the Great East Japan Earthquake" (Hauer, Holloway & Oda). At: http://paa2015.princeton.edu/uploads/150102
