What we want to tell through the experiences of BOSAI Tourism Contents

It is important to know about the Great East Japan Earthquake, but more important than that is to replace the disaster with the visitor's own environment and "rethink it as something that could happen to oneself." Take the knowledge you gained from Nakahama Elementary with you to prepare for future disasters.
