Learn regional history at the transmission hall conveying earthquake records and recovery's path

About this spot

Operated by Minamisanriku Town, this facility conveys records and the recovery journey of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Through exhibits based on footage, photos, and testimonies from the day of the disaster, it carefully communicates the tsunami's threat and the experiences of townspeople. Learning this area's history and present when visiting Minamisanriku carries meaning beyond tourism. Viewing exhibits together as a family and discussing them creates a memorable experience for children. Witnessing Shizugawa Bay where tonight's fireworks will launch through the lens of recovery becomes a precious moment within your day.
