On January 17, 1995, at 05:46, the city of Kobe was hit by the big "Hanshin-Awaji" earthquake, which killed more than 5,000 people and destroyed tens of thousands of homes.

The Earthquake Memorial Museum was opened in 2002 to commemorate the tragic event and educate visitors about earthquakes and civil protection.
