Handing down the Lessons Learned A Guide for the Future

An unprecedented complex disaster killed and changed the lives of so many people significantly. We were forced to realize that our ordinary, everyday life with family and friends could suddenly change. Today, since disasters are becoming more common than ever, we would like to tell you what must always be remembered and learned from. We hope that the challenges Fukushima faced will serve as a guide for the future. Founded upon this belief, we welcome you to the Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum.

  • Know, learn (exhibition)

    Around 200 exhibits convey the damage caused by the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident. A fire engine crushed by the tsunami, a detailed diorama of the accident-damaged nuclear power plant, and materials showing the harsh conditions of the evacuation due to the nuclear disaster are among the items on display which will help deepen your understanding of the unprecedented triple disaster.

  • Experience, think (education)

    Visitors can have an experience of the complex disaster and reconstruction through a fieldwork, a bus tour that visits Futaba town and Namie town, as well as educational lectures by narrators. At the end of the visit, we offer a workshop to help visitors learn more.

  • Voices of Survivors (narration)

    You can listen to the voices of disaster survivors. The experiences told by kataribe storytellers vary depending on their social positions and where they were living at the time of the evacuation following the earthquake, tsunami, and the nuclear power plant accident. Storytelling sessions are held four times a day.
