  1. The inundation depth was computed at Sekinehma-GS2, which is the most inland tsunami deposit identified by Ishimura et al. (2022), and at Odanosawa-N6, which is the most inland tsunami deposit identified by Tanigawa et al. (2014). The bold number depicts that the most inland tsunami deposits at the two sites could be explained simultaneously
