Huge tsunami waves have washed away buildings and cars after a massive earthquake struck off the coast of Japan.
The earthquake, measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, sent ten-metre waves surging inland and caused fires in Tokyo.
Japan's meteorological agency said the tsunami struck Sendai, which has a population of about one million.
Drivers were seen fleeing the waves on highways close to the coast as the impact of the huge quake swept ashore while the car park at Disneyland in Tokyo was submerged.
