Established to preserve structural artifacts from the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, this compelling museum showcases massive ruptured steel bearings, fractured concrete highway piers, and detailed restoration models. Knowledgeable retired engineers who spearheaded the monumental 20-month reconstruction serve as guides, offering firsthand accounts of the disaster and subsequent recovery efforts. Open to the public on select days each month, the facility provides an unforgettable, tangible look into disaster mitigation and civil engineering resilience.
