Hokudanshinsai Memorial Park, Earthquake memorial museum in Awaji, Japan.

The Hokudanshinsai Memorial Park contains preserved sections of the Nojima Fault, displaying the actual geological changes from the 1995 earthquake.

The museum chronicles the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake of January 17, 1995, which caused a maximum lateral displacement of 2.1 meters and claimed over 5000 lives.

The park maintains records and personal narratives from earthquake survivors, creating a connection between past events and current disaster prevention education.

The memorial park operates from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM with final entry at 4:30 PM, closing on Mondays unless it falls on a national holiday.

Visitors can experience simulated earthquake conditions in a dedicated facility that reproduces the intensity of the 1995 disaster.
