J	Joe Tank on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a wonderful museum about a very sad topic. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The museum tells the story of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Kesennuma through photos and videos, but also through the buildings themselves, which have been left much as they were just after the disaster. The videos have excellent English subtitles, and they have an app that you can download which lets you read English text for most of the exhibits by scanning QR codes. It’s a bit far from the Kesennuma station area, but worth the trip. About 30 minutes (3200 yen) by taxi, more like 45-60 minutes by bus. Editing this to reiterate how great the staff was. So kind and helpful. Google maps says the place closes at 4pm on Sunday. I arrived at 3:45 hoping to have a short look around, but I was given a full tour. I don’t know if this is standard operating procedure or if they made an exception for me, but either way it was great.

M	Michi T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Glad I was able too see this site with my own eyes.
D	David Raftery on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This really is a must visit if you want to learn more about what happened on 3.11. It is a well organized memorial to that faithful day. The exhibition has both Japanese and English and you will walk around an old high school that was hit by the tsunami. Thankfully everyone at the school that day was safe after evacuating to the roof. It is a difficult place to get as the roads in the area still have not been rebuilt and there are very few signs on the way but it is definitely worth the effort.
T	Taufiq Ilham Maulana on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is truly amazing to me that after the tsunami disaster due to Tōhoku earthquake 2011, Japan fastly recovered, learn from the past, and make a lesson out of it so this such mistakes won't happen again to the future generation. This venue is close to the shore, and there are very massive and high seawall along the shore. The surrounded area affected by it now become a golf place and it is good that they use for it instead of housings. They also keep the damaged 4-story school building to show, how scary and terrible the tsunami was. Many buildings, cars, houses, and debrises were swept away and struck the school. The remaining debris car in level 1 and 3, and the wall's different color left due to the high water level at that moment, are giving me the clear idea to imagine how the situation was. I couldn't hold my tears when the speech from Kajiwara Yuta-san was played at the end museum section. My condolences to the victims and their families, and for us and future generation, please don't ignore it and let's always learn from the past events so we can make our future safe.
M	Massimo Burhanuddin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A museum about the Tohoku Earthquake in 2011. The tsunami impacted this area. They were still building/developing the town from the damage that tsunami cause years ago. You can some of the aftermath of the building itself. The place is quite far from major stations/ bust stops, but to me the journey was worth it. The staffs were also very friendly.
