Kesennuma City Memorial Museum

気仙沼市東日本大震災遺構・伝承館 via Google Maps

Preserving the ruins of Kesennuma Koyo High School, the Kesennuma City Memorial Museum offers an unforgettable and sobering look into the immense power of the 2011 tsunami. Visitors can walk through classrooms and hallways left largely as they were when floodwaters submerged the four-story concrete structure. Through poignant exhibits, firsthand testimonies, and video archives, the museum honors the memories of that fateful day while serving as a vital center for disaster education.
