The former Kadowaki Elementary School, which was constructed as the remains of the Great East Japan Earthquake, was opened to the public from April 3rd.

Kadowaki Elementary School is the only earthquake disaster site that leaves traces of the tsunami fire.

The black stone is engraved with a school song along with a picture of the school building before the earthquake.

The front entrance is quite damaged, but it retains its old shape.

Enter the entrance,

Purchase a ticket and get a pamphlet with a tour route.

After observing the damaged fire engine and the city's official car exhibited at the indoor playground, I went to the main school building, which is the remains of the earthquake.

A line of tsunami inundation height is drawn in the school building.

The principal's room and staff room are on the first floor,

There are classrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and you can see what they were like at the time of the earthquake.

From the 3rd floor to the exhibition hall building,

The school emblem was the same as it used to be.
