The former Kadonowaki Elementary School in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the tsunami and fire caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, was constructed as the remains of the earthquake, and a preview was held for the press on the 27th.
At the former Kadonowaki Elementary School in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, the school building was severely damaged by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the fire that occurred after that, but at that time, 224 children in the school evacuated to the back mountain and all were safe.
Ishinomaki City has decided to maintain a part of the three-story school building as an earthquake disaster remains and open it to the public from April in order to convey the lessons learned from the earthquake. The meeting was held.
Of these, in the school building on the sea side, the shelves that were destroyed by the tsunami and the desks that were left unburned are left as they were at that time.
In addition, the school building on the mountain side is an exhibition hall, and explanations such as how children and faculty members evacuated to the back mountain immediately after the earthquake are written on the walls.
Hideaki Mizusawa, director of the Ishinomaki City Earthquake Tradition Promotion Office, said, "It is a major feature that it is an earthquake disaster remains that leaves the situation of the tsunami fire. I want to be a place. "
