Fodor's Review:
In 1995 the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake killed 6,433 people and destroyed much of the harbor and vast areas of the city. Using documentary footage and audio, an introductory film shows the frightening destruction wrought upon this modern city. A re-created post-quake display, film screenings, and high-tech exhibits convey the sorrows and memories of the event. This excellent museum has English pamphlets and electronic guides, and English-speaking volunteers are on hand. It's a 10-minute walk from the south exit of JR Nada Station, one stop east of JR San-no-miya Station.
