Neodani Fault, Earthquake fault in Motosu, Japan.

The Neodani Fault extends 55 kilometers from southern Ono City through Motosu City to Minokamo City, featuring horizontal and vertical displacements in the rock formations.

During the 1891 Nobi Earthquake, this fault produced the largest surface rupture in Japanese history, with horizontal shifts of 8 meters and vertical movements of 6 meters.

The Earthquake Fault Observation Center, established in 1992, presents educational exhibits about seismic activities and geological formations specific to this region.

The fault location near Midori station on the Tarumi Railway line provides direct access to observation points and educational facilities for visitors.

The fault's escarpment in the Midori district received designation as a national special natural monument, marking its geological and scientific importance.
