  • 地震動シュミレータ

    地震動シュミレータやMX4Dで実際に地震の揺れを体験できます。防災グッズも買うことが出来ます。残念なのは外観が地味なことと立地が市内から若干外れているため、行きにくいことでしょうか。
  • 盛り沢山の展示&大地震の体験ができるシアターがイイネ

    盛り沢山の展示&大地震の体験ができるシアターがイイネ。柏崎市のまちから、長岡市の震災アーカイブセンターきおくみらいに行ったことがありますが、3都市の中で都市規模としてはここが一番、小さいのによく頑張っているなあとおもいました。特に大地震の体験ができるシアターは柏崎市や長岡市にはないものなので、すばらしいです。
  • 人が少なく入りにくい

    始めていくにはわかりにくい所にあります。人も少なく、入るのにちょっと勇気が入ります。観光と言うより学習に行くところです。
