Tsunami Memorial Hall
Okushiri Town
This memorial hall opened in 2001, eight years after a huge earthquake and tsunami struck the remote Okushiri Island, in order to keep memories of the disaster alive and convey to future generations the lessons learned in the disaster’s aftermath. Eight themed exhibition areas feature records of the disaster and recovery from it.
