    Osaka Osakashi Nishi-ku Enokojima 2-1-64
    This facility is approximately a two-minute walk from Osaka City's Underground Chuo Line / Sennichimae Line's Awaza Station Exit 7, or a one-minute walk from Exit 10. This station was built upon the expectation of a tsunami or high tide as a result of a large earthquake in the Nankai Trough, which could occur in the near-future, as an educational facility to teach people what to do during an emergency. In the tsunami disaster experience theater (Dyna Cube), a video is played in front, on either side and beneath viewers. Enveloped by the sounds and images, visitors to the facility can experience the terrible force that a tsunami brings to bear.

    A must for everyone who wants to better understand how to stay safe from Tsunami. They have video, signs, and an audio guide in English and other languages.

While Osaka prefecture is the country's second smallest prefecture, its capital, Osaka City, is the country’s third-largest and arguably one of the most popular in the Kansai region thanks to its vibrant nightlife, the Osaka people’s openness, and its much-loved cuisine, which has earned it the nickname "the nation’s kitchen."
