My next wife is Japanese and her family is reported to be all ok. Phone contact was impossible but the internet was still up and running.
Another friend's family are in the north of the country but unaffected. Their house is rated to withstand Magnitude 10 quakes and they were not in the flooded areas. Life is going on as normal for them although there has been some reduction in available electricity and the public transport network has suffered somewhat - they can still get about in the local area, but longer distance travel is problematic.
Basically only those on the coast have been effected - everyone else is just getting on with it.
