The impact of the earthquake on the 16th of this month has also affected activities to convey memories of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Of these, the Miyagi Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami Tradition Hall in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, which observed a seismic intensity of 6 lower, opened in June last year as a facility to convey memories and lessons learned from the earthquake, but it is made of glass due to the effects of the earthquake. The outer wall of was cracked.
Currently, the museum is temporarily closed, and depending on the prefecture that operates the facility, there is no prospect of reopening.
In addition, the program managed by "3.11 Mirai Support", an organization based in Ishinomaki City that operates a "storyteller" that conveys the earthquake disaster, has been cancelled.
Due to the suspension of driving on the Tohoku-Hokkaido Line, more than 50 people who were scheduled to visit from Kanto and other areas for corporate training have been cancelled.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the effects of this earthquake were added to the fact that school tourists were canceled one after another.
Masako Takahashi of "3.11 Mirai Support" said, "I would like to switch to the online storyteller and continue the activity so that when the influence subsides, I can tell it locally."
