A Hanshin Expressway employee (?) will volunteer to give you a detailed explanation (about an hour). There are many valuable materials stored in the building, which are actual structures that were destroyed by the earthquake, and I felt the ferocity of the earthquake. A must read for anyone working in a related job.

Advance reservations are required and tours are free. I learned a lot from being able to listen to easy-to-understand explanations from experts, even as a layperson. It's hard to believe that a section of the expressway that looked quite heavy was momentarily lifted by the shaking, but the results of that phenomenon are on display there. The force of the earthquake was more powerful than expected. As 30 years have passed since the earthquake, we are grateful that it has been properly preserved.

The bridge girders and pillars that collapsed during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (officially known as the ``Hyogo Prefecture Southern Earthquake'' in the museum) have been replaced, allowing you to view valuable architectural materials. I sympathized with the attitude of the Hanshin Expressway, which not only sees the tragedy as a tragedy, but also sends a message to future generations that it must never be repeated. I was surprised that so much material was left behind during the chaos and recovery work that didn't have even a second to spare. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to view it immediately, so you must contact Hanshin Expressway (I visited on a special opening day).

(Translated by Google) The real things that were destroyed in the earthquake were on display, and I was able to know the fear of earthquakes. But I wonder how you managed it. (Original) 震災で壊れた実物が展示してあって、地震の怖さを知ることができました。でも、どうやって運んだのか不思議です。

Here you will find the importance of preserving the actual remains of the earthquake and the materials that should be passed on to future generations. The explanation given by an engineer at the time is persuasive and powerful.

The actual valuable materials are on display so you can touch them. There are also special exhibitions held around the time of the earthquake that do not require reservations.

It makes you feel the horror of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The actual damaged highway pillars are on display.

A facility where you can experience up close the extent of the damage to the Hanshin Expressway caused by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. It is amazing that the broken piers and parts from that time are still displayed and preserved.

Memories of the time when the area near Hankyu Rokko Station was affected came back to me. We hope that the materials stored here will help us better prepare for the next earthquake!

現場で命がけで対応された方々の努力と工夫を、聞くことができました。

Many of the actual remains of the viaducts and girders on the Hanshin Expressway that were damaged in the earthquake are on display. Fresh.

Reservations are usually required, but I think it's worth visiting during a special opening and seeing it at least once.
