Tsunami And Storm Surge Disaster Prevention Station

Unclaimed

Visiting this place made me aware of osaka as a very vulnerable city to water/flood. This place educate people on how to deal with tsunami, earthquakes and storms in the future. Lots of videos to watch, pictures of past tsunamis and earthquakes. There is a theatre where you can watch 15 minutes short movie about tsunami. Good Experience. You can visit the place in one to two hours. Staffs hardly speak english, we communicate using google translate.

What a great museum! I think it should be promoted a lot more. I visited with my husband and two childen (8 and 5) today and we learnt so much (we are tourists). The museum is free, the staff is very kind and speaks some English, there is an English audio tour that is very informative and the video has English subtitles. We felt very welcome as foreigners. The children did a letter hunt and got to choose a badge with the tsunami mascot on. Highly recommend visiting this museum!

Although it’s a small museum in terms of size, it provides a lot of useful information about the geology of Osaka city and historical details of previous terrible typhoons. It helps people understand the cause of tsunami and how should we respond and evacuate when it happens. As mentioned by other visitors, the museum provides audio guides and leaflets in foreign languages (English and Chinese). I particularly recommend watching the tsunami simulation short film (with English substitutes). The staff are also very helpful and friendly.

small museum, but very nice staff!! most of museum is in japanese, but there is a qr code that explains everything in english! also, the film you can watch has english subtitles! (and btw every part of museum is free) the earthquake and tsunami experience was… quite distressing (as if should be!!) very nice experience!

Not a very large museum but definitely fun and educational! Despite its size there were actually tons of interactive installations. The staff was very warm and welcoming too :) would definitely recommend for young children but it's a great place for all ages. I'd like to come back one day
