TSUNAMI and Storm Surge Disaster Prevention Station

It was a trip to Japan with friend and family and we visited TSUNAMI and storm Surge Disaster Prevention Station. The staffs were very kind.

This educational institution is focused on the prevention of natural disasters and preparation for them. Among the exhibits are photographs of the damage caused by water in Osaka during a strong typhoon in the early and mid-20s of the XX century. The facility also features models of flood prevention measures that have been implemented in Osaka, including flood gates and other civil engineering achievements. Visitors can also watch a staged tsunami at the Tsunami Disaster Experience cinema to imagine how they are experiencing a tsunami and consider real obstacles and solutions to emergency situations.Tsunami Station is a popular place for excursions, so when you visit it, expect to see groups of schoolchildren.This building combines the functions of the State educational service for the prevention of natural disasters and a museum dedicated to previous disasters. You can request a video and an excellent English-language travel guide that explains the unique geography of Osaka, as most of Osaka is below sea level. The Dynacube experience wrap around cinema with a vibrating floor simulates an earthquake - after spending several years in New Zealand, I can say that it was quite realistic! The short information film tells about the fate of a family caught in an earthquake and tsunami situation. We really liked the work benches with engineering solutions for dealing with tidal waves. There is also a life-size street model to show locals how much water can go under during a tsunami. This is a unique and very informative experience. The next earthquake is just around the corner!

This place is knowledgeable. I got knowledge in the disaster prevention plan. You should come to learn a life of a group of people living in the country that is always in risk to encounter those disasters.

this disaster prevention station admission is free to tour located in osaka. it is a good facility to learn and understand in detail of how the tsunami and earthquake occur. the museum offers displays of information on the mechanism of earthquake caused by tsunamis. it is a good experienced learning however the explanation were in japanese.

a good trip to visit for learning things and good to bring your kids
