Nakahama Elementary School in Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture, which was damaged by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake and was maintained as an earthquake remains to convey lessons learned, was opened to the public for free on the 11th, 10 years after the earthquake.
Nakahama Elementary School in Yamamoto Town was hit by a tsunami that was over 10 meters high and flooded near the roof of a two-story school building, but 90 children and residents evacuated to the attic warehouse on the roof and all of them evacuated. It was helpful.
The school was closed two years after the earthquake due to a decrease in the number of children, and was maintained in September last year as the remains of the earthquake to convey lessons learned.
Today, the first time on March 11th, it was open to the public for free, and visitors were guided by a guide to the school building where the tsunami scars remained.
A woman in Saitama Prefecture, who was in the sixth grade at the time of the earthquake, said, "I was struck by how scary the children were here."
Go Inoue, who was the principal at the time, said, "I want people all over the country to see it with their own eyes and think about what to do in the event of a disaster."
