Rewind to January 17, 1995, when the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck with the city of Kobe at the epicenter. This unprecedented catastrophe wreaked havoc on one of Japan’s major cities, leading to the establishment of The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution. The institution keeps the below four floors across two buildings, aimed at passing on the lessons and experiences of the disaster to future generations.
